Berkshire Hathaway Shares Fall As Investors React To Leadership Shift And Missed Q1 Expectations

Berkshire Hathaway stock tumbled Monday after Warren Buffett announced he will step down as CEO at the end of 2025, according to Barron's. Class A shares closed down 4.9, while Class B dropped 5.1. The board approved Greg Abel, a longtime executive, as the incoming CEO, and Buffett will remain chairman and said he’ll serve as an advisor starting in 2026. Some investors expressed concern about the company’s long-term valuation without Buffett in charge. Berkshire missed first-quarter earnings estimates and invested little cash, disappointing investors who expected Buffett to act on the market downturn.
