Berkshire Hathaway’s Biggest Stock Losers In 2025

The stock market is off to a rough start in 2025, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite tumbling into correction territory, and many stocks down 20 percent or more from their recent highs. 

Berkshire Hathaway has been one of the few winners so far this year, with its stock up about 11 percent as of mid-March, but Berkshire’s stock portfolio hasn’t avoided the pain entirely. Warren Buffett and his two investment lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are noted value investors, which could mean that they’re using the current downturn to pick up shares on the cheap. 

If you’re looking for help on how to navigate the market sell-off, you may want to work with a financial advisor. Bankrate’s financial advisor matching tool can help you find an advisor in your area.

These are the Berkshire-owned stocks that are down the most in 2025, based on Berkshire’s holdings at the end of 2024.
