The equity security commanding the highest absolute nominal share price globally is Berkshire Hathaway Class A (BRK.A), trading at hundreds of thousands of dollars per single share due to Warren Buffett's lifelong policy against executing stock splits. Because nominal share price reflects only the cost of a single unit rather than the total corporate value, financial analysts evaluate company size using total market capitalization instead. Other select technology and luxury retail equities also trade at elevated nominal figures, but Berkshire Hathaway Class A remains the most prominent high-priced share.
