Here's What $1,000 Invested in Berkshire Hathaway the Day Greg Abel Became CEO Is Worth Now

Published September 2, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

I've been a fan of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB) for a long time, and Berkshire's been a great investment for years. The conglomerate built by Warren Buffett posted an average compounded annual return of 19.7% from 1965 to 2025 -- a huge premium compared to the S&P 500's gain of 10.5%.

Overall, Berkshire's gain of 6,099,294% under Buffett's stewardship was light-years better than the broader index's 46,061% gain in the same period. Buffett truly is a hard act to follow after his retirement as CEO at the end of 2025.
