伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司回购了12亿美元股票，是公司历史上规模最大的一次股票回购行为。回购价格为每股131,000美元，约为第三季度末伯克希尔股票票面价值的118%，超出了此前伯克希尔规定的110%。回购之后，伯克希尔公告称，今后股票回购的价格上限提高到票面价值的120%。

2011年9月，当伯克希尔宣布将以公司股票票面价值110%的价格回购股票时就产生了这样的效果。当时公司股票迅速上涨。第二年，伯克希尔仅成功回购了6,700万美元股票。 与周三公布的12亿美元相比，6,700万美元显然逊色不少。 本文作者、《财富》杂志（FORTUNE）资深自由撰稿人卡罗尔•卢米斯是沃伦•巴菲特多年的好友，一直是伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司股东。 译者：刘进龙/汪皓 |
That was indeed the effect of Berkshire's announcement in September 2011 that it would buy stock up to 110% of the company's book value. The company's share price immediately jumped. In the next year Berkshire succeeded in buying only $67 million of stock. That amount is obviously dwarfed by the $1.2 billion purchase announced Wednesday.
