Warren Buffett’s Legacy Transitions as Greg Abel Takes Charge
Warren Buffett retired as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway on December 31, 2025, handing over leadership to Greg Abel. Since taking the helm, Abel has significantly revamped the company’s investment portfolio, which is valued at $336 billion. Notably, Alphabet has surpassed Coca-Cola to become Berkshire’s third largest holding, following a strategic private placement of $10 billion in Alphabet’s stock announced on June 1, 2026.
During the first quarter of 2026, Berkshire increased its stake in Alphabet by purchasing over 36 million shares of Class A stock and starting a new position with Class C stock. This decisive action reflects a shift in Berkshire’s investment strategy towards technology firms, a sector previously overlooked by Buffett. Despite these changes, Coca-Cola remains a cornerstone of Berkshire’s portfolio, yielding a 65% annual return due to its long-standing investment since 1988.
