Buffett, now 96, will become chairman emeritus, trusting Howard to safeguard the company’s culture and values while Abel leads operations. Buffett’s legacy — including market-moving investment decisions and outperformance of the S&P 500 — remains intact, as Berkshire Hathaway enters its next chapter with confidence in its new leadership.
