After the stock market close last Friday, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) reported its second-quarter results.
Overview
Berkshire ended June with $72.7 billion in cash, up marginally from the start of the year. While cash generation has been strong through the first six months of the year (roughly 10% growth in cash flow from operations to $15.3 billion), this has been more than offset by a cumulative $36 billion spent on acquisitions (primarily Precision Castparts ) and capital expenditures.
