BRK is an attractive stock for growth-seeking investors, with an expected earnings growth of 34% in the upcoming year, made up of high-quality, operational cash from its core business, which is expected to more than double over the next year.

This suggests prudent control over cash and cost by management, which is a crucial insight into the health of the company. Investors should not worry about BRK’s debt levels because the company has none! This implies that the company is running its operations purely on off equity funding. which is typically normal for a small-cap company. Investors’ risk associated with debt is virtually non-existent and the company has plenty of headroom to grow debt in the future, should the need arise.
BRK rewards its shareholders with attractive dividend yield, beating the low-risk savings rate, which is able to compensate investors for taking on the risk of holding a risky stock over a riskless asset. That said, please remember that dividend yields are a function of stock prices and corporate profits, both of which can be volatile.
