Greg Abel’s Strategic Stock Moves: Cashing Out From 16 Stocks and Investing Heavily in a Leading AI Company for Berkshire Hathaway

Warren Buffett’s Successor Greg Abel Takes Charge at Berkshire Hathaway

Warren Buffett’s retirement as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway is set for December 31, 2025, transferring daily operations and investment decisions to Greg Abel. In his inaugural quarter leading the firm, Abel facilitated the complete exit from 16 stocks, driven by the historically high market valuation, including Amazon and Visa, while building a significant stake in Alphabet, valued at approximately $23 billion.

Abel increased Berkshire’s holdings in Alphabet by 204% to 36,403,656 Class A shares and introduced 3,585,215 Class C shares. Google’s dominance in internet search, capturing 89%-93% of global traffic over the past decade, and the rapid growth of Google Cloud, which saw a 63% year-on-year revenue increase, position Alphabet as a cornerstone in Berkshire’s investment strategy amid a market where the Buffett indicator recently hit a record high of 235%.
