Warren Buffett

Berkshire is primarily associated with its founder, one of the most successful investors in the world, Warren Buffett. However, in early 2026 he stepped down as CEO, handing the role over to his successor Greg Abel. Nevertheless, Buffett still participates in investment decision-making. His approach is studied and applied worldwide. Buffett follows the principles of value investing, preferring to acquire companies with strong fundamentals and long-term growth potential. His core principle is to buy stocks as if you were buying the entire business. He looks for companies with a clear business model, stable cash flow, strong competitive advantages, and honest management. He conducts fundamental analysis and assesses intrinsic value. Berkshire makes relatively few deals, but holds stocks for the long term and avoids speculation.
