Which company is identified by the stock ticker BRK.A and is famous for its high share price?

Berkshire Hathaway is identified by the stock ticker BRK.A and is famous for its high share price.

Berkshire Hathaway’s Class A shares are traded under the symbol BRK.A. The company has long maintained a very high per-share price because it has not split those shares, while its business value and retained earnings grew over decades.

Warren Buffett has led Berkshire Hathaway since 1965, when he took control of the struggling textile company and transformed it into a diversified holding company. Its businesses and investments have included insurance, railroads, utilities, manufacturing, retail, and large stakes in public companies.

Berkshire also issues Class B shares under BRK.B. Class B shares were created in 1996 at a much lower price, giving smaller investors access to Berkshire’s economic performance. Share price alone does not determine market capitalization; total shares outstanding must also be considered.
