Berkshire Hathaway Stock Faces Pressure Amid Leadership Transition

BTCCSquare news:
Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A 1.28%) (BRK.B 1.35%) has entered a period of uncertainty as Warren Buffett prepares to step down as CEO at year-end. The stock has declined 10% since May, underperforming the broader market's 15% gain during the same period.
The conglomerate's insurance operations remain its earnings backbone, generating $9 billion in underwriting profits and $13.7 billion in investment income last year. Berkshire's unique investment approach—concentrated equity positions held long-term—has benefited from elevated interest rates, though recent sell-offs suggest investor caution during this leadership transition.
