CEO Greg Abel will lead the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting on May 2, 2026. This event marks the first time Abel will preside without Warren Buffett.
Berkshire stock has underperformed the S&P 500. This trend began in mid-2025 following the announcement of Buffett's plan to step down.
Investors seek insights into the conglomerate's future strategy and capital allocation under Abel's direction. The meeting will address plans for deploying substantial cash reserves and future share buybacks. Abel must also outline his approach to large-scale acquisitions in the post-Buffett era.
