NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:34 ET Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK.A, BRK.B) shares ended 2025 slightly lower on Warren Buffett’s final day as chief executive, as Greg Abel took over the top job at the $1.08 trillion conglomerate at the start of 2026. Class B shares closed down $1.06, or 0.2%, at $502.65, and Berkshire ended September with $381.7 billion of cash and equivalents while it has not said who will take over its $283.2 billion equity portfolio. Reuters The changeover matters now because Berkshire’s stock has long carried a “Buffett premium” — investors paying up for the expectation that

Saudi Aramco stock forecast 2026: Can dividends offset weak oil after 2025’s 15% slide?

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:25 ET Saudi Arabian Oil Co, better known as Saudi Aramco (2222.SE), enters 2026 after its shares fell 15.04% in 2025, the stock’s worst annual drop since its December 2019 IPO, amid weak oil markets and rising regional tensions. Saudi Arabia’s benchmark ended the year about 13% lower, and Milad Azar, a market analyst at XTB MENA, said the market may rebound in 2026 as monetary policy eases and interest rates decline, but “key risks could remain oil and global growth.” Reuters Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index (TASI), the main benchmark, rose 0.6% on

TSMC stock forecast 2026: New U.S. China licence and Nvidia H200 push put targets in focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:23 ET Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co said the U.S. Department of Commerce granted its Nanjing unit an annual export licence that allows U.S. export-controlled items to be supplied without the need for individual vendor licences.

Meta stock forecast 2026: New scam-ad “playbook” scrutiny collides with a bigger AI spend plan

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:13 ET Meta Platforms is heading into 2026 with fresh questions over how it polices scam advertising, after internal documents reviewed by Reuters showed the company developed a “playbook” to stall regulators. Reuters That matters now because Meta’s stock outlook for 2026 rests on two linked forces: how much cash it can keep generating from ads, and how much it must spend — or be forced to spend — to keep regulators and users onside. The debate has sharpened as investors also press Big Tech to show that heavy artificial-intelligence spending translates into revenue and

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:23 ET Baird maintained a $548 price target on Tesla (TSLA.O) heading into 2026 and said robotaxi-related updates are likely to be the year’s key stock drivers.
