  • Warren Buffett Cuts Amazon Stake by 77% Ahead of Berkshire CEO Transition
    May 2, 2026, 8:04 AM EDT. Warren Buffett retired as Berkshire Hathaway CEO on Dec. 31, 2025, handing over to Greg Abel. Before stepping down, Buffett sold 77% of Berkshire's Amazon shares, reducing the position by 7.7 million shares worth about $1.7 billion. Amazon, a leader in e-commerce and cloud services via AWS, remains influential, but Buffett's value investing approach likely spurred the sale due to Amazon's high valuation. Berkshire's market moves signal a cautious stance amid rich market conditions, with the S&P 500 near its second-highest valuation since 1871.
