Berkshire also owns such businesses as the Geico auto insurer and See's Candies.\nResults were \"pretty strong, reflecting broad economic strength,\" said Jim Shanahan, an Edward Jones analyst. He rates Berkshire \"buy\" and raised his earnings forecast through 2022.\nMany U.S. companies have improved results as the economy rebounds.\nGoldman Sachs this month raised its 2021 earnings forecast for Standard & Poor's 500(.SPX)companies, implying 45% annual growth.\nThe second quarter was also notable for Buffett's revealing that if he were to step down, Berkshire's next chief executive would be Greg Abel, a vice chairman overseeing Berkshire's non-insurance businesses. Buffett turns 91 on Aug. 30.\nNET SELLER\nBerkshire's buybacks, including at least $1.7 billion in July when its share count declined further, boosted total share repurchases to about $39 billion since the end of 2019.\nBuffett has aggressively repurchased Berkshire shares as high stock market valuations and the growth of special purpose acquisition companies, which take private companies public, make buying whole companies appear too costly.\n\"It's a killer,\" Buffett said at Berkshire's annual meeting on May 1, referring to SPACs.read more\nValuations may have also played a role in Berkshire's selling $1.1 billion more stocks than it bought in the quarter.\nThe net selling is one reason Berkshire ended June with $144.1 billion of cash and equivalents, despite the buybacks.\nBerkshire's share price is up 23.7% in 2021, topping the S&P 500's 18.1% gain, after trailing the index significantly in 2019 and 2020.\n\"It's very clear they're having difficulty deploying capital in public markets,\" Shanahan said. \"Given the valuation of the stock, we should expect Berkshire's buybacks to be the preferred source of capital deployment.\"\nBNSF's profit surged 34% to $1.52 billion, as retailers replenished inventories and demand swelled for building products, grain and coal.\nFirst-half vehicle sales grew 30% at the Berkshire Hathaway Automotive dealerships.\nHomebuying also rebounded, boosting quarterly reported profit 43% at Clayton Homes mobile homes and 129% at Berkshire's namesake real estate brokerage.\nThe brokerage is part of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, where wind power tax credits helped increase profit 17%.\nSome businesses fared less well.\nGeico's pretax underwriting profit fell 70% as people drove, and crashed, more often.
