Subject: Buybacks
“Berkshire Hathaway repurchased about $225 million of stock on March 4, the day it resumed its buyback program after a hiatus of almost two years, based on information in the company’s 2026 proxy statement filed late Friday.
Berkshire disclosed on March 5 that it had resumed stock buybacks on March 4 for the first time since May 2024, and CEO Greg Abel discussed the resumption in a CNBC interview on March 5.
The Berkshire proxy gives a share count as of the close of business on March 4 and a comparison with the share count on Dec. 31 showed that the company repurchased 339 Class A equivalent shares on March 4, Barron’s calculates. The proxy doesn’t indicate the mix of class A and Class B shares that were bought that day.”
