The company has just released its profit statements for its investments within this industry.

Berkshire Hathaway has just announced its latest insurance news, saying that its net income rose to reach $4.89 billion, which translates to $2,977 per share, in a statement that it has released.

This is a massive increase over a year earlier at $3.25 billion, which was $1,966 per share.

The company, based in Omaha, Nebraska, said that this insurance news also includes its $2,302 per share operating profit, which does not include some of its investment results. This left the estimates of three Bloomberg analysts – who had predicted $1,996 – way behind. The company is currently experiencing considerable gains due to the improvements within the American housing market.

The rebounding U.S. economy is allowing the organization to release this considerable insurance news.

The country is now seeing a recovery from the largest economic slump that it has experienced since the Great Depression. Warren Buffet, the company’s chairman and chief executive officer for over forty years, has created the Berkshire Hathaway empire by way of takeovers. Starting off as a textile maker, it now generates electricity, hauls freight, manufactures building supplies, and sells insurance news making products.

Many analysts are seeing this latest Berkshire insurance news as a clear indicator that the economy is starting to fight its way back again. They also draw attention to the fact that this year, the Class A shares have increased by 22 percent, reaching $162,904 in New York. This is considerably better than the 14 percent increase in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

The insurance news from Berkshire Hathaway was supported by a number of gains. Its underwriting profits skyrocketed to $901 million, from having been only $54 million the year previous. The company’s Reinsurance Group was up $974 million (before taxes), which is tremendously better than the year before, when it saw a loss of $191 million.

Its auto insurance news from Geico saw a profit doubling to $266 million (before taxes). Its reinsurance group’s successes were linked to the currency fluctuations, as it provides primary carrier coverage, but it still managed a $255 million (pre-tax) one time gain from a life reinsurance deal amendment.
