  • Greg Abel Shifts Berkshire Hathaway Focus to Japan Amid Widening Valuation Gap
    April 12, 2026, 6:07 AM EDT. Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel is expanding the company's international footprint with increased investments in Japan and the Asia Pacific region. The firm recently issued a large Yen-denominated Eurobond, signaling higher funding activity overseas. Berkshire's Class A shares (NYSE:BRK.A) trade near $720,000, down 8.2% over the past year but up significantly over three and five years. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio close to the industry average, yet markets see it 40.7% below estimated fair value. Abel's strategy raises questions on currency risk management and capital allocation from Berkshire's significant cash reserves, with forecasts predicting a 3.5% earnings decline over three years. Investors await further disclosures to assess if Japan becomes a core part of Berkshire's growth plan.
