On Wednesday, Berkshire Hathaway’s Class B shares rose by 0.5% to $543.06, surpassing their previous record high set on May 2, 2025. After Warren Buffett announced his resignation as CEO on May 3, Berkshire’s stock price declined for several consecutive months. Following Abel’s succession and the resumption of share buybacks, along with the acquisition of Taylor Morrison’s residential assets and an investment in Alphabet focusing on AI, the new record high in the stock price signals that market confidence has recovered from the uncertainty surrounding Buffett’s departure.
