Show Notes
Berkshire Hathaway stock experiences a seven-day losing streak, with shares down over 3.33%, marking the lowest close since May 2021. Greg Abel takes over as CEO, while Warren Buffett remains chairman. Higher oil prices and economic uncertainties impact Berkshires diverse portfolio, particularly BNSF Railway. Fourth-quarter earnings drop 30% YoY to $10.2 billion, with full-year operating earnings falling 6% to $44.5 billion. Insurance underwriting profits plunge 54%. Despite the slump, Berkshire holds a substantial cash pile of $373.3 billion. Abel resumes share buybacks, investing $15.3 million of his own money. Shareholders await Abels leadership, questioning if the dip indicates genuine earnings issues or merely a market shift.
