BRK-B closes at $498.52 (+0.34%) amid leadership transition and market rotation.

Following the retirement of legendary CEO Warren Buffett at the end of 2025, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) is now led by new CEO Greg Abel, closing the day at $498.52.

• BRK underperformed the S&P 500 in 2025, returning approximately 11% compared to the S&P's 17%, a gap largely attributed to the conglomerate's high cash holdings.
• The stock's movement was tied to a broader market rotation into value stocks (e.g., industrials), rather than any BRK-specific catalysts.
• BRK-B closed up 0.34% and traded slightly higher in after-hours, reaching $498.90 (+0.08%).
