Berkshire Hathaway's Class B shares settled at $548.56 on October 26, topping the prior high set just four sessions earlier. That is a rare feat: clearing a freshly minted ceiling before the week is even out.

After a prolonged stretch of oscillation well below current levels, the shares pushed through the prior session's high and then added to that gain, with $548.56 marking the highest close in the period covered by the data.
For investors already holding a position, the question now is whether this breakout holds above the prior ceiling or retreats into the range that contained it for most of the year. For those on the sidelines, two consecutive record closes in under a week make the timing of any entry decision notably more pressing.
