Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Ajit Jain sold 39,700 shares on September 28, 2026, according to an SEC insider-filing report published September 29. The supplied summary lists a price of $503.09 per share and a transaction value of $19,972,776, or approximately $19.97 million.
The company is identified as Berkshire Hathaway Inc., with the supplied ticker BRK.A. The source headline identifies the disclosure as a Form 4 reporting filing for Jain. September 29 is the publication date provided with the report; the supplied material does not separately specify the filing’s submission time.
What the disclosure reports
The SEC summary identifies Jain as vice chairman and describes the transaction as a share sale. It also flags the sale as having no 10b5-1 plan. That flag is part of the reported transaction information, but it does not establish Jain’s reason for selling or the circumstances behind his decision.
The supplied figures contain a small arithmetic difference. Multiplying 39,700 shares by the displayed $503.09 price produces $19,972,673, which is $103 below the stated transaction value. The summary does not explain that difference. The approximately $19.97 million description is consistent with either figure, while the exact reported amount remains $19,972,776.
Limits of the available information
The supplied material does not identify the class of shares sold, despite attaching BRK.A as the company ticker. It also does not provide Jain’s holdings after the transaction, the proportion of his stake sold, or any explanation from him. Those details cannot be inferred from the transaction amount alone.
Analysis: The disclosure documents a senior executive’s sale of company shares. Its usefulness for assessing Jain’s broader investment position is limited without ownership figures and additional transaction details; it does not establish a view on Berkshire’s prospects.
What to watch
The full Form 4 would be the next document to examine for the security class, remaining ownership and any pricing footnotes. Those details could clarify the summary’s numerical discrepancy and place the sale in context.
