Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B, BRK.A) Stock: What to Know Before the Market Opens on Dec. 26, 2025

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. stock heads into Friday’s post-Christmas session with a rare combination of “big picture” catalysts: a historic CEO handoff scheduled for January 1, 2026, a record cash-and-Treasury-bills war chest, and a portfolio that continues to shift away from Apple even as Berkshire initiates a new stake in Alphabet.
