Berkshire Hathaway, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1839 and operates with approximately 30 employees. The company primarily focuses on Real Estate.
At its 2026 annual shareholders' meeting on May 2, Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Greg Abel indicated a cautious approach to artificial intelligence, projecting 50% utility growth over five years from data centers. The company's investment portfolio remained heavily concentrated, with its top five holdings—American Express, Apple, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, and Chevron—accounting for 61% of the equity portfolio’s aggregate fair value at the end of March. Earlier on May 2, Berkshire Hathaway reported its cash pile jumped to a record $397 billion in Abel’s first quarter as chief executive officer, following the offloading of a net $8.1 billion of equity holdings. Concurrently, the conglomerate's first-quarter operating profit rose 18% from a year earlier to $11.35 billion, primarily aided by stronger underwriting results in its insurance sector. This marked Greg Abel’s first annual meeting presiding as chair, with Warren Buffett in attendance, as shareholders gathered to learn about the conglomerate's future direction and growth strategies.
