## Elevator Pitch

- Since my last 'Sell' rating reflecting my view of Berkshire's underperformance vs the S&P 500, Berkshire has underperformed the S&P 500 by 6.49%.
- I am downgrading my rating to a 'Strong Sell' as I am more confident of further underperformance ahead.
- Despite trading at the same valuation as the S&P 500, I believe most of Berkshire Hathaway's business has an underwhelming earnings growth past and future outlook relative to the S&P500.
- Berkshire is also priced the same as the S&P500, but with a worse growth expectation, indicating what I believe is a mispricing and overvaluation of Berkshire's stock.
- The technicals also paint a bearish outlook, suggesting Berkshire would lag the SPY for multiple quarters and years ahead.
