Abel’s First Year Drives Berkshire to Fresh Highs With New 13F Bets

Nov 3, 2026, 8:05 AM EST1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Leadership transition coupled with concrete 13F purchases in GOOG, DAL, and M may bolster investor confidence and attract funds, especially as Berkshire outperforms index stats. However, the impact hinges on Abel's ability to sustain alpha and manage large cap tech exposures, which historically can drift with earnings and macro headwinds.

AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Greg Abel's early-year leadership coincides with Berkshire Hathaway's record-high shares and a strategic pivot in holdings. The 13F shows Berkshire adding Alphabet, Delta, and Macy's while exiting Buffett-era bets, with mixed results to date. If Abel sustains early alpha and maintains disciplined allocation, Berkshire could continue to outperform the broader market.

  • BRK-A hits multiple all-time highs in 2026 as Abel becomes CEO.
  • 13F shows Berkshire sold Buffett-era stakes; initiated GOOG, DAL, and M.
  • GOOG, DAL, M performance: DAL and M rise; GOOG down YTD.
  • BRK-YTD up 11.9% in 2026, ahead of SPY's 10.1% gain.
  • Abel's first-year scorecard could shape Berkshire's longer-term returns.
