Warren Buffett's statistically improbable returns provided from 1965 through 2024 are truly remarkable to consider. Over this time frame, Berkshire Hathaway compounded returns for investors at an incredible 19.9% clip. When compared to the S&P 500, a world-class index of the largest companies in the U.S. (which produced compounded annual returns of 10.4% over this time frame), that's a near-doubling of one's annual return each and every year.

The company extended its lead in logic, DRAM, and advanced packaging technologies while competitors struggled to keep pace with rapidly evolving manufacturing requirements. CEO Gary Dickerson has consistently emphasized the company's focus on "the highest value technology inflections in the fastest growing areas of the market." That strategy delivered six consecutive years of growth through fiscal 2025, culminating in record annual revenue of $28.37 billion (up 4% year over year) and non-GAAP EPS of $9.42 (up 9%).

The S&P 500 has delivered an average annual return of approximately 10.33% since 1957, serving as a benchmark for many investors.
