"Warren Buffett stepped down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ( NYSE: BRK-B) on December 31, 2025, after six decades leading the conglomerate he transformed from a struggling textile mill into a $1 trillion empire. The "Oracle of Omaha" left his successor, Greg Abel, with a very concentrated portfolio: 65% of Berkshire's $381 billion in assets is invested in just six stocks. Abel, who has served as vice chair overseeing non-insurance operations, officially took over as CEO on January 1, 2026."
"Long-time investors and Buffett mavens are familiar with this quote: "His favorite holding for an S&P 500 stock is forever." So, it is not surprising to report that for all the success and stature Berkshire Hathaway has in the investment world, six top companies make up 65% of the fund's total holdings. While Buffett has departed, there is a good chance that the six stocks at the core of Berkshire Hathaway will remain in the portfolio indefinitely."
