'After the reins are handed over, most analysts anticipate an explicit push for cultural continuity. Some rule out significant or even moderate changes, though they believe small changes are possible.
"These guys have been brought up in the Buffett way," said Argus analyst Biggar. "It would be suicidal for the Berkshire stock price if they altered the strategy."
Yet other analysts anticipate internal friction, executive turnover, committee-like decision making. They caution that many managers, like many shareholders, may be more loyal to Buffett than to Berkshire.
In contrast to most major companies, Berkshire Hathaway enjoys what Seifert sees as a rather "benign" and "passive" investor base, due to the regard for its chief executive. And while Buffett loves stocks that pay dividends, he has famously avoided paying one.
Under new management after Buffett, she said, it's likely to see a stronger push for a dividend and regular return of capital to shareholders.'
