Investing Legend Warren Buffett Bids Adieu to Wall Street, While His Trillion-Dollar Company, Berkshire Hathaway, Enters a New Era

Warren Buffett steps down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway on December 31, 2025, after 60+ years, with Greg Abel taking over. Despite being a net seller of stocks for 12 quarters, Buffett's value-focused philosophy and long-term approach nearly doubled S&P 500 returns. Abel is expected to continue this strategy while potentially expanding into technology and healthcare sectors, though some core holdings like Apple may be reconsidered.
