##BuffettStepsDownAsBerkshireChairman
Warren Buffett has stepped down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway after more than five decades in the role. He becomes chairman emeritus and will remain on Berkshire’s board as a director. His son, Howard Buffett, has taken over as chairman.
The move follows Buffett’s earlier transition from CEO to Greg Abel, who became CEO on January 1, 2026. Berkshire says the leadership change is part of its succession plan.
For markets, the key focus will now be how Berkshire’s investment and capital-allocation decisions develop under Abel, while Howard Buffett’s role centers on maintaining the company’s culture and values
