  • Buffett's Last Big Deal? OxyChem Buy Signals Berkshire Transition as Abel Steps Up

    Buffett's Last Big Deal? OxyChem Buy Signals Berkshire Transition as Abel Steps Up
    2025/10/07
    Berkshire Hathaway BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Berkshire Hathaway has been making major headlines this week after announcing the acquisition of Occidental Petroleums chemical division OxyChem for 9.7 billion dollars with many analysts characterizing it as potentially Warren Buffetts last big deal. Market watchers quickly noted that Berkshire materials for the news release spotlighted Greg Abel instead of Buffett, a quiet but unmistakable passing of the corporate torch as Abel prepares to take over as CEO this coming January. Still, Warren Buffett remains chairman and is expected to help steer decisions about the companys formidable 344 billion dollar war chest. While the OxyChem buy is substantial, it utilizes less than three percent of Berkshires available cash and some investors seemed unimpressed with Berkshires shares dipping and Occidentals falling more than seven percent after the announcement according to ClickOrlando and Virginia Business. Meanwhile, on social media and business news platforms the transition narrative is gaining traction with analysts like Edward Jones Jim Shanahan speculating about whether Abel will break from Buffetts hands-off legacy and consider more integration among Berkshire holdings though this is as yet unconfirmed and remains speculation. Adding to the intrigue, Buffett’s massive holdings in Occidental itself became a talking point—he owns over 28 percent of the stock and has warrants for nearly 84 million more shares, as well as billions in preferred stock paying him an eight percent dividend annually. The OxyChem deal also arrives amid Buffetts own comments reassuring investors last year that Berkshire had no plans to buy all of Occidental even while he continued to quietly increase his stake. With OxyChem manufacturing essential chemicals such as chlorine for water treatment and ingredients for plastics and ice melt, the acquisition bolsters Berkshires industrial portfolio, complementing its 2011 purchase of Lubrizol. The largest theme across financial media and Twitter has been what this deal signals culturally: Buffett’s legendary acquisition prowess might be giving way to a careful handoff, putting Abel front and center as Berkshire embraces succession after more than six decades of Buffett at the helm. As of now there are no fresh public appearances reported for Buffett or Abel and the next focus shifts to how Occidental will allocate this huge influx of cash mostly to cutting down debt in its own books. Barring last-minute regulatory twists, the OxyChem deal is expected to officially close by year-end.

  • Berkshire's $9.7B OxyChem Deal: Buffett's Last Hurrah and Abel's New Era

    Berkshire's $9.7B OxyChem Deal: Buffett's Last Hurrah and Abel's New Era

    Berkshire Hathaway BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Fresh buzz surrounds Berkshire Hathaway after it broke major headlines this week by striking a definitive deal to purchase Occidental Petroleum’s chemical subsidiary, OxyChem, for $9.7 billion in cash. Announced Thursday, the deal marks Berkshire’s biggest acquisition since 2022 and is stirring talk across Wall Street as possibly Warren Buffetts last major move as CEO. According to the Associated Press, OxyChem, a global manufacturer of core industrial chemicals, will tuck in alongside Lubrizol, reinforcing Berkshire’s industrial cohort. The transaction is projected to close in the final quarter of 2025 and Occidental, led by Vicki Hollub, will use most of the proceeds, about $6.5 billion, to trim down their heavy post-CrownRock acquisition debt, aiming to stabilize their books and focus more sharply on upstream oil operations. In a subtle but significant shift in the limelight, the announcement played up vice chairman Greg Abel, who praised the acquisition and is set to take the helm as CEO when Buffett steps down in January 2026. The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times broke the story earlier in the week, igniting speculation that the OxyChem buy could cap off Buffett’s storied run, while others note Abel’s hands-on style may usher in a strategic consolidation phase for the sprawling conglomerate.

    Meanwhile, shareholder circles are abuzz that Buffett’s famed annual shareholder letters have likely seen their final edition, as Max Olson, known for chronicling Berkshire’s dispatches, confirms Buffett will not pen another upon stepping down. The end-of-era sentiment is palpable, as social media chatter celebrates Buffett’s six-decade leadership but speculates whether Abel will accelerate internal synergies or maintain Buffett’s signature light-touch management of acquired businesses. On the railroad front, Berkshire’s BNSF unit stirred the competitive landscape by sharply criticizing Union Pacific’s plans to merge with Norfolk Southern, labeling it anti-competitive and costly, and explicitly dismissing any current intent to bid for CSX despite some persistent Twitter rumors. In Q3, Berkshire’s stock gained 10.8 percent, trailing the S and P 500’s 14.8 percent—an underperformance that is drawing attention among financial influencers but is downplayed by Buffett loyalists, who point to the long game rather than short-term ticks. The overriding mood: The conglomerate famous for playing the long arc is at a visible crossroads, combining blockbuster deals and CEO succession, with the world watching for what the next chapter under Abel will look like.

  • Buffett's Bold Moves: Berkshire's Global Bets, CEO Shift, and Halloween Treats

    Buffett's Bold Moves: Berkshire's Global Bets, CEO Shift, and Halloween Treats
    2025/09/30
    Berkshire Hathaway BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Berkshire Hathaway hit headlines again this week, showing exactly why its every move is watched with almost celebrity-level scrutiny. According to ainvest, the company’s decades-long outperformance remains the stuff of legend, driven by Warren Buffett’s steady leadership. Net earnings went from two million in the Sixties to eighty-nine billion dollars by last year, powered by a blue-chip stock portfolio and massive insurance acquisitions. Yet, even icons wobble—Berkshire’s own shares closed at five hundred dollars and change on September 12th, slipping almost one percent in a month while the S and P climbed nearly three percent. Wall Street expects third-quarter earnings to dip over eighteen percent year-over-year, revealing some near-term pressure even as the long-term fundamentals inspire confidence.

    But let’s pivot to the developments that will echo in Berkshire lore. In a significant shift, Berkshire Hathaway completed its multi-year exit from BYD, the Chinese EV powerhouse. Kingswell reports that Berkshire’s holding, once worth over four hundred million dollars, dropped to zero in Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s latest earnings report, spelling a full divestment. The move netted the conglomerate a stunning thirty-eightfold return, a neat finale to one of Buffett and Charlie Munger’s masterstrokes. BYD’s leadership publicly thanked Berkshire for years of trust and partnership, quelling any speculation that the sale signals a lack of faith in the automaker’s future.

    Not all the news was upbeat. Insurance Business Magazine revealed that a fresh lawsuit hit Berkshire Hathaway after it pulled property coverage from a business, allegedly leaving that client exposed and facing heavy losses. The complaint, filed September 25th, highlights the legal and reputational risks that accompany Berkshire’s massive presence in insurance.

    On the business front, Berkshire deepened its ties to Japan: Over the weekend, it notified Mitsui—one of the country’s leading trading houses—that it has crossed the ten percent ownership threshold, with public remarks from Mitsui suggesting Berkshire aims for an even larger stake. This, straight from Kingswell, hints at a strategic, long-horizon bet on Japanese conglomerates, echoing Buffett’s history of global opportunism.

    Meanwhile, AOL’s financial coverage reminded everyone of the so-called Buffett Indicator—market cap to GDP—which stands at a lofty two hundred eighteen percent. That’s got market watchers nervous, and with Buffett’s own cautious outlook, the blogosphere is abuzz, especially following his bombshell announcement at this year’s famed shareholder meeting: He’s stepping down as CEO at year-end, passing the torch to Greg Abel, while remaining board chair. Social media had a field day with the news, with #Buffett trending and speculation flying about the post-Buffett era of Berkshire Hathaway.

    If you want investor gossip, here’s a treat: Berkshire just scooped up close to one hundred seventy million dollars in Bank of America dividends, one hundred thirty million from Kraft Heinz, and eleven million more from UnitedHealth Group this week, according to Kingswell. And in a lighter pop-culture twist, Berkshire subsidiaries See’s Candies and Jazwares are set to drop another Squishmallows x See’s Halloween bundle—expect limited editions and a social media sugar rush from fans young and old.

    In summary, the past days brought Berkshire both challenge and applause: a blockbuster Japanese deal, strategic exits, boardroom drama, and a legal dustup. As always, the company manages to stay at the center of the financial universe—one headline, lawsuit, and candy box at a time.
