The torch has officially been passed. On May 15, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) released its first Form 13F under new CEO Greg Abel, marking the first time in more than 60 years that Warren Buffett’s name didn’t appear on the ledger. Abel’s tenure began when the 95-year-old Buffett officially stepped down on Jan. 1, and the new CEO’s first 13F reveals an equity book that’s slimming down and raising cash. Berkshire fully exited 16 different positions totaling $8.1 billion, its largest net equity sale since Q3 2024. Is this a continuation of Buffett’s value-centric approach, or a new CEO flexing muscle? A few hints emerge when breaking down the filing.
