  • Berkshire Hathaway's Stock Struggles Shadow CEO Greg Abel's Debut Annual Meeting
    April 30, 2026, 7:13 AM EDT. Berkshire Hathaway's stock price has significantly lagged the S&P 500 by over 37 percentage points in the past year, marking its worst performance stretch since 2000. This slump coincides with Greg Abel's first annual meeting as CEO, following Warren Buffett's retirement. Investors face challenges from underperforming holdings like Kraft Heinz and limited value investing opportunities amid a tech-driven market. Abel aims to maintain Buffett's investment style, but skepticism lingers as the market adjusts to new leadership without Buffett's legendary reputation. Abel's task is to regain investor trust and prove Berkshire's resilience beyond its famous founder's legacy.
