In hindsight, Berkshire B was the easiest short of 2023: its insurance operations, despite strong premiums, face rising claims costs (up 10% YoY), and slow growth compared to tech peers (5% vs. 15% revenue growth) suggests underperformance. With a P/B ratio of 1.5x, above historical averages, the stock could correct 10-15% in a risk-off environment.
