Keefe, Bruyette & Woods upgraded Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) to Outperform with a price target of $133,000.00.

KBW analyst says, "BRK beat our estimates in both underwriting and non-insurance businesses. The cash position remains substantial at $43b (prior to the closing of $9b Lubrizol). Raising our 2011 EPS and maintaining $133,000 target. With tremendous financial strength and relatively steady operating earnings, we view BRK as increasingly attractive amid worried financial markets and we upgrade the shares to Outperform."
