BRK-A, BRK-B) is on track to be the next trillion-dollar company by market capitalization, according to Markets Reporter Paul La Monica, who joins Yahoo Finance to discuss Berkshire's rise.
La Monica says Apple (
AAPL) is "by far the biggest stock" in Berkshire's portfolio, boosting the company's gains. However, he notes Berkshire is more than just Apple, it's a "giant industrial conglomerate" with ownership stakes across many sectors.
This diverse investment portfolio of stocks, insurance, and utilities has enabled Berkshire to build its $860 billion market valuation.
