Berkshire Hathaway buys back $9.6 billion of its own stock but its profits declined

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Berkshire Hathaway repurchased $9.6 billion worth of its own shares in the third quarter, but Geico's numbers got worse as it invested more in ads and its overall profit fell more than 28% as the value of its investments changed. But the buybacks likely came to a halt recently as Berkshire's Class A stock price surged past $878,000 and topped where it was before Warren Buffett surprised investors with his plans to retire at the annual meeting in May 2025. He gave up the chairman title in September after relinquishing the CEO job to Greg Abel in January. Berkshire's massive cash pile also returned to growing in the third quarter and reached $377.4 billion, up from $365.5 billion at the end of June. CFRA Research analyst Cathy Seifert said Geico is in a tough spot right now with insurance premiums declining at the same time the average cost of the claims are increasing. Berkshire underwriting profit at all its insurers fell to $1.35 billion from last year's $2.37 billion. Geico accounted for most of that by generating $982 million this year, down from $1.77 billion a year ago. Investor Chris Ballard, who is managing director at

St. Cloud State surrenders five points to Omaha as McLaughlin carted off ice

ST. CLOUD —The St. Cloud State men's hockey team faltered on the road against Omaha, going 0-1-1 this weekend to fall to 3-5-1 overall. In the first game, the Huskies battled back from a one-goal deficit to earn a 2-2 tie against the Mavericks on Friday night at Baxter Arena, but Omaha claimed the NCHC standings points with a 1-0 victory in a shootout following a scoreless overtime period. The Huskies struck early on the power play when freshman defenseman Will Sharpe scored his first collegiate goal just 1:49 into the contest. Omaha swiftly answered on a goal from Gavin Hodnett before Ryan McCleary paced the Mavs ahead in the second period. St. Cloud State responded in the third period after generating sustained pressure and capitalizing on another power-play opportunity. Following a 5-on-3 advantage, freshman forward Hayden Paupanekis generated a scoring opportunity, leading to sophomore defenseman Finn McLaughlin burying the tying goal into an open net. The Huskies looked much more polished in the final period, outshooting Omaha 17-6, but could not find the go-ahead goal.
