What to read: Sep 2026 10-Q

SECSift found 3 of 13 sections worth reading, with 0 positive, 5 notable, and 2 negative flags.

• Financial Statements (Item 1)

  Financial statements and MD&A with major operating and litigation details.
  Notable

  • Kraft Heinz carrying value exceeds fair value by $1.4B (16.2%); no impairment taken but risk remains.
  • Insurance float rose to $178.5B at Sept 30, 2026, up $2.1B from Dec 31, 2025.
  • Berkshire repurchased $14.4B of stock in first nine months 2026, including $9.6B in Q3.
  Negative

  • PacifiCorp accrued $2.85B for wildfire losses; Oregon Supreme Court reviewing reversal of Phase I verdict.
  • Insurance underwriting after-tax earnings fell 42.9% in Q3 2026 vs Q3 2025, mainly at GEICO.

• Management's Discussion (Item 2)

  Company-specific goodwill impairment risk with thin fair value cushion quantified. The forward-looking part is boilerplate but this is real substance.
  Notable

  • Four reporting units had less than 20% fair value cushion over carrying value as of Q4 2025. $9.2B of goodwill sits in those units, so an impairment is possible if conditions worsen.

• Unregistered Sales and Repurchases (Item 2)

  Detailed repurchase activity and $30B cash floor constraint disclosed.
  Notable

  • Repurchases cannot reduce cash, equivalents, and T-bills below $30B.
