Page 2 of 2

At a current market capitalization in excess of $29 billion, Fanuc would be Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:BRK.A)’s second-largest acquisition behind Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC (NYSE:BNI). That might require it to raise some financing in order to complete the acquisition; however, given Fanuc’s quality and its potential fit with Berkshire, it’s a deal worth stretching for.

As Matthew McLennan, the manager of the Global, Overseas and U.S. Value funds at value-oriented manager First Eagle Funds, said in 2009: “[At Fanuc] you have an extremely experienced management team that has built a very strong culture and that takes a generational view in how they do things. The mission is for the company to live forever…” Sound familiar?
