Warren Buffett explains boost in cash for Berkshire Hathaway in annual letter

Warren Buffett, in his annual letter to shareholders, explained the significant increase in cash reserves at Berkshire Hathaway, which reached a record $167.6 billion. He attributed this boost primarily to the lack of compelling investment opportunities that meet his stringent criteria for value and long-term growth. Buffett highlighted that while the company sold $25 billion in stocks and bought back $9.2 billion of its own shares, the overall market conditions did not present many opportunities for large-scale investments. He also noted that despite the high cash pile, Berkshire's operating earnings rose by 21% to $37.4 billion, driven by strong performances in its insurance and railroad businesses. Buffett reassured investors that the cash would be deployed when suitable opportunities arise, emphasizing patience and discipline in investment decisions.
