Greg Abel’s Resumption of Berkshire Hathaway Buybacks
Greg Abel restarted Berkshire Hathaway’s share repurchase program on March 4, 2026 — the first time since May 2024


According to Berkshire’s SEC filing and multiple news reports, the company began repurchasing its Class A and Class B shares on Wednesday, March 4, 2026

. This marked the end of a nearly two‑year hiatus, as Berkshire had not conducted buybacks since May 2024
.

The move came just days after Abel became chief executive in January 2026, succeeding Warren Buffett. In his first major capital‑allocation action as CEO, Abel also disclosed that his revocable trust purchased 21 Class A shares on that same day for about $15 million, equal to his after‑tax annual salary, and said he intended to repeat this annually

Abel said he consulted with Buffett before approving the buybacks and determined the price was below Berkshire’s “intrinsic value” under the company’s long‑standing policy

. The repurchases were intended to reduce Berkshire’s large cash position — about $373 billion at year‑end 2025 — and signal confidence in the stock’s value."
