Is GEICO the Cornerstone of Berkshire Hathaway's Insurance Growth?
Berkshire Hathaway 's ( BRK.B ) insurance portfolio includes GEICO (auto insurance), General Re (reinsurance) and Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance Group (BHRG). Among these, GEICO serves as the cornerstone, driving significant revenue growth and producing underwriting 'float' that Warren Buffett has long leveraged for investments. As one of the largest auto insurers in the United States, GEICO generates a steady stream of premiums from millions of policyholders, strengthening Berkshire's market position, dispersing risk and supporting competitive pricing alongside high customer retention. Central to GEICO's success is its efficient, direct-to-consumer business model. By focusing on online sales and advertising rather than agent commissions, it maintains low operating costs, allowing competitive rates while preserving profitability. This operational edge delivers consistent underwriting gains, bolstering Berkshire's overall insurance earnings. The essential nature of auto coverage also ensures resilience, even during economic slowdowns. GEICO is also a major contributor to Berkshire's float—the premiums collected before claims are paid—which can be invested to generate returns without drawing on shareholder capital. Its expanding premium base ensures a reliable flow of investable funds, thus fueling gains across Berkshire's equities, bonds, and subsidiaries. In recent years, GEICO's aggressive advertising, strong brand equity, and competitive pricing have increased market share, particularly among younger drivers. With advanced digital tools, telematics and data-driven pricing, it is well-positioned for continued growth. Through its scale, cost efficiency, and steady float generation, GEICO remains indispensable to Berkshire's insurance operations, supporting both operational performance and long-term capital compounding. What About BRK.B's Competitors? Progressive Corporation PGR, one of the largest U.S. auto insurers, remains heavily focused on personal auto. Progressive's performance is fueled by rate increases, rising new personal auto applications from higher advertising spend, targeted non-rate growth actions and its strong network of independent agents driving sustained momentum. Travelers Companies ' TRV auto insurance drives growth by generating steady premiums and enhancing customer loyalty. Travelers strengthens its market position through competitive pricing, disciplined underwriting and trusted service. Continued innovation in auto coverage ensures that Travelers maintains sustainable expansion within its broader insurance operations. BRK.B's Price Performance industry.

Paramount buys UFC rights in $7.7-billion deal with TKO Group
Paramount will become the new home to Ultimate Fighting Championship events across the U.S. next year, through a seven-year agreement announced with TKO Group on Monday. The news comes just days after Skydance and Paramount officially closed their $8 billion merger – kicking off the reign of a new entertainment giant after a contentious endeavour to get the transaction over the finish line. Under the deal with UFC, Paramount will exclusively distribute UFC's full lineup of its 13 marquee numbered events and 30 'Fight Nights' on its streaming platform Paramount+ – with select numbered events also set to simulcast on CBS – starting in 2026. It's a shift away from the UFC's existing pay-per-view model, which Paramount and TKO say will allow the mixed martial arts programming to reach more consumers nationwide. 'Paramount's advantage lies in the expansive reach of our linear and streaming platforms,' David Ellison, chairman and CEO of Paramount, said in a statement. 'Live sports continue to be a cornerstone of our broader strategy – driving engagement, subscriber growth, and long-term loyalty, and the addition of UFC's year-round must-watch events to our platforms is a major win.' Opinion: Opinion: All the rage: How the UFC became America's most important (and misunderstood) political powerhouse Mark Shapiro, president and COO of TKO, added that the deal will mean 'deeper engagement for UFC's passionate fan base' and that its athletes 'will love this new stage.' UFC events currently air on ESPN – which has offered tiered pricing for fans to view content across the sports network's TV offerings and streaming platform ESPN+ since 2019. UFC's partnership with Disney-owned ESPN runs through the end of 2025. The seven-year deal between Paramount and TKO has an average annual value of $1.1 billion, the companies said Monday – marking a notable jump from the roughly $550 million that ESPN reportedly pays each year for UFC coverage today. But UFC's new home on Paramount will simplify offerings for fans − with all content set to be available on Paramount+ (which currently costs between $7.99 and $12.99 a month), rather than various pay-per-view fees. Paramount also said it intends to explore UFC rights outside the U.S. 'as they become available in the future.' While now a done deal, the path toward approval for the Paramount and Skydance merger was far from smooth sailing. Months of scrutiny and turmoil surrounded the transaction – particularly amid President Donald Trump's legal battle with '60 Minutes,' the crown jewel of Paramount-owned broadcast network CBS. With the spectre of the Trump administration potentially blocking the hard-fought deal with Skydance, Paramount agreed to pay a $16 million settlement to the president in early July. The deal later received regulatory approval from the Trump administration. Trump has long been friends with UFC CEO Dana White and routinely attends UFC events. Last month Trump said that he's thinking of staging a UFC match on the White House grounds with upwards of 20,000 spectators to celebrate 250 years of American independence. Trump announced his plan in Iowa during the kickoff for a year's worth of festivities to celebrate America's 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. White said in a post on social media platform X that the deal with Paramount will make it more affordable and accessible for U.S. consumers to watch UFC events. 'This deal puts UFC amongst the biggest sports in the world,' he wrote. 'The exposure provided by the Paramount and CBS networks under this new structure is a huge win for our athletes and anyone who watches and loves this sport.' Aside from the UFC, TKO also houses the WWE and has been actively working out deals for the sports entertainment company. Last week Disney announced an agreement with WWE that will see its premium live events, like WrestleMania , streamed by ESPN. Disney subsidiary ESPN struck a rights agreement with TKO Group's WWE to become the exclusive U.S. domestic streamer of the sports entertainment company's premium live events starting next year. Aside from gaining access to WrestleMania, ESPN will also air marquee events such as the Royal Rumble, SummerSlam and Survivor Series. The wrestling events will be available on ESPN's new streaming service, which is set to launch next month, with select ESPN cable channels also airing them. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but The Wall Street Journal said that it's a five-year deal worth more than $1.6 billion. Shares of TKO jumped over 7% in midday trading on Monday.
