Berkshire Hathaway stock experienced a decline on Monday after CEO Warren Buffett, who has led the company for six decades, revealed that Greg Abel will be his successor. The announcement marks a significant transition for the conglomerate, which has been under Buffett's stewardship since 1965. Investors reacted cautiously to the news, reflecting concerns about the future direction of the company without its iconic leader at the helm.
Abel, who has been with Berkshire Hathaway for over two decades, has played a crucial role in the company's operations, particularly in managing its diverse portfolio of businesses. Despite his extensive experience, the market's reaction suggests uncertainty regarding the potential changes in leadership style and strategy.
