The AI's read

Greg Abel's Berkshire hits Q2 earnings and buybacks are the headline. Estimates show $5 billion to $11 billion repurchased in Q2 versus $234.2 million in Q1. Shares are only up about 5.6% YTD, so the buyback story isn't a 20%+ rally already priced. That leaves room for a true buyback surprise to move sentiment if confirmed. We lean bullish because a multi-billion buyback under Abel would be a clear cash-return catalyst and not fully reflected in the share move. Conviction 80% since the numbers are estimates and hinge on the Q2 report timing and confirmation.
