Warren Buffett to Release Final Shareholder Letter as Berkshire Hathaway CEO
Warren Buffett will issue a letter to Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) shareholders on November 10, marking one of his final acts as CEO before stepping down after six decades of leadership. The 95-year-old investor will transition to board chairman at year-end, with Greg Abel, 63, succeeding him as CEO.
Abel, a longtime Berkshire executive, will assume responsibility for the annual shareholder letter starting in February 2026. The upcoming November letter's contents remain undisclosed, though previous editions focused on estate planning and reflections on leadership.
Buffett's role will fundamentally change at next year's annual meeting, where he plans to join shareholders in the audience rather than leading the Q&A session—a symbolic passing of the torch for the conglomerate.
