Berkshire Hathaway disclosed in a recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that it began repurchasing shares this week.
The company said, 'In the interest of transparency with our leadership transition, we are disclosing that we commenced repurchasing shares of our common stock.' Generally, Berkshire Hathaway shares details about share buybacks in its quarterly filings, but now, under Greg Abel's leadership, the company is taking a new direction grounded in Warren Buffett's investment playbook.
