About the BRK-B price target calculator

The BRK-B price target calculator projects a future share price by compounding trailing twelve-month earnings per share at an assumed growth rate and applying an exit P/E multiple at the end of the horizon. The stock currently trades at about $495.45, a P/E of roughly 16.2× on TTM EPS of $33.59.

3 analysts cover BRK-B for the next fiscal year, with EPS estimates ranging from $20.15 to $21.49 and a consensus average of $20.81. Versus the latest TTM EPS of about $33.59, that consensus implies roughly a 38.0% decline next year. That sits a notable shift from the trailing 5-year EPS history of 11.8% growth per year — one useful sanity check on whether consensus is anchored to history or expecting a regime change.
