Fidelity classifies BRK as a financial, but granted they're hard to classify.

A bit of a tangent but I remember investing in CLF when it was primarily an iron ore miner, roughly 2014 or so, and having it lumped in with coal companies as it also mined met coal, primarily for its own operations. Every negative headline about coal miners invariably included CLF. The price of iron ore tanking didn't help much either, but man was it tough to see the stock being tossed in with one of the most hated sectors at the time when it didn't really produce any thermal coal, and met coal was a very small portion of its business.
