Which company is the parent corporation of brands including Dairy Queen, GEICO, and BNSF Railway?

Berkshire Hathaway is the parent corporation of brands including Dairy Queen, GEICO, and BNSF Railway.

Berkshire Hathaway is a diversified holding company led for decades by Warren Buffett. Its businesses span insurance, rail transportation, utilities, energy, manufacturing, retail, and other sectors. GEICO is its major auto-insurance subsidiary, Dairy Queen is part of its consumer portfolio, and BNSF Railway is one of its largest operating businesses.

The company began as a textile manufacturer, but Buffett and his partners transformed it into an investment and operating conglomerate. Berkshire is often discussed alongside the world’s most valuable companies because of its enormous equity value and unusually broad collection of businesses.

Berkshire’s structure differs from a single-product technology company. Its market value reflects both wholly owned subsidiaries and a large portfolio of publicly traded investments.
