Berkshire is the strongest over the past month, while Helios Towers has the largest gain over the year.
Berkshire, the US conglomerate with insurance, freight rail, utilities and energy businesses, closed at a new 52-week closing high after a fifth straight daily gain. It is up 18.0% this year and has a market value of $1.26 trillion. Its 52-week closing low was $465.40 on the 22nd of April.
Berkshire reported third-quarter results on Monday last week, when earnings per share of $5.94 missed the $6.14 analysts expected. It has beaten estimates in two of its last four quarters.
Legal & General, the UK insurer, pensions and asset manager, closed 0.5% below its 52-week closing high of 316.4p, set on the 7th of August, after five straight gains. Its dividend yield is 6.96%, and the shares are up 20.2% this year.
Its 2025 revenue of £24.05bn was 3.6% higher than 2024, though well below the £34.1bn of 2022. Its next results are due on the 9th of March next year.
Helios Towers is an independent mobile tower company operating in Africa and Oman, in countries including Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, South Africa and Oman. It has risen ten straight sessions, the longest run of the three, and closed 2.7% below its 52-week closing high of 245.4p, set on the 14th of May. It is up 45.1% this year.
Its profit margin is 3.1%, and the shares trade on a price-to-earnings ratio (the price relative to a year’s profit) of about 119, against 22.2 on forecast earnings. Revenue for 2025 was $854.1m, up 7.8% on 2024. Its next results are due on the 11th of March next year.
None of the three has results due in the data this week, and Berkshire’s next date is not in the data. The levels above are therefore the measured picture: Berkshire at its high, Legal & General 0.5% from its own and Helios Towers 2.7% away.
