Buffett to sit with board members at 2026 Berkshire meeting, won’t appear on stage: report

Berkshire Hathaway founder and Chairman Warren Buffett is going to forego his usual stage appearance at the 2026 company shareholders’ meeting, the Omaha World-Herald reported on Sunday.

Buffett instead will be seated alongside the company’s board of directors while his successor and current vice chairman and incoming CEO Greg Abel answers questions, the report said.

At Buffett’s request, Abel will take the stage next year, the report added, citing Susie Buffett, Warren Buffett’s daughter and a Berkshire board member.

Abel told the newspaper that the next annual meeting will be in Omaha on May 2. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report and Berkshire did not immediately respond to a Reuters’ request for a comment.

Earlier this month, the company said that Buffett would remain as chairman after Abel takes over as CEO.

Berkshire made that announcement two days after the 94-year-old Buffett revealed at the company’s annual meeting in Omaha that he would step down as CEO, ending six decades at the helm for the legendary investor.
