- Two longtime analysts of Berkshire Hathaway Inc appear deeply divided over prospects for the company led since 1965 by billionaire Warren Buffett, in reports issued on Monday ahead of this weekend’s shareholder extravaganza.
In contrast, Meyer Shields of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, who rates Berkshire “market perform,” said the company’s sprawl makes it difficult to generate outsized returns, especially after Buffett, 88, is no longer chief executive officer. Tens of thousands of people will be in Omaha, Nebraska this weekend for Berkshire’s annual shareholder weekend, including the May 4 annual meeting.
Barclay’s Gelb said CEO succession has been an overhang though the quality of Berkshire’s management is “among the best,” with Vice Chairmen Greg Abel, 56, and Ajit Jain, 67, among the top candidates.
