Berkshire Hathaway shares down 1.8% year-to-date, trailing S&P 500
Berkshire Hathaway's B shares are down 1.8% for the year so far, staying 12.4 percentage points behind the S&P 500's 10.7% gain. A robust June enabled the company to diminish its largest losing margin of the year, recovering nearly one-third of its 17.5 percentage point shortfall. Despite this, a tough second quarter saw Berkshire gain just over 3% compared to the benchmark's 16% rise, erasing its earlier small lead.
