Berkshire Hathaway stock drops 5.8% under new CEO Greg Abel, but investors see buying opportunity.

Since Greg Abel took over as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of 2025, the company's stock has fallen by 5.8%, marking its worst start to a year since 2020 aside from the COVID-19 selloff. Despite this underperformance, some investors view the lower stock price as a positive chance to buy shares more cheaply. The annual general meeting will likely address shareholder concerns about the stock's performance and the new management's plans moving forward.
