The share price of BRKA has never been spilt. Why might the company refuse to split its shares to make them more affordable to average investors?
In early 1980, investors could buy one share of Berkshire Hathaway Class A common stock (stock symbol: BRKA) for $285: That may have seemed expensive at the time, but by mId-2007 the price of just one share had climbed to $1 111000. The wizard behind such phenomenal growth in shareholder value is the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett, nicknamed the Oracle of Omaha.
