Berkshire Hathaway stock closed at USD 509.77 on the NYSE on September 21, 2026, up 0.11 percent from the prior close. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (ISIN US0846707026, NYSE: BRK.B) finished between USD 506.13 and USD 512.07 on volume of 12,458,105 shares.
As Metrobank reported, Berkshire announced that Warren Buffett would step aside as chairman and become chairman emeritus, with Howard Buffett taking the post. The report said the shares edged lower on the day as the succession move landed. The stock's class B shares ended the day only 0.57 cents above the prior close.
After the bell, Carrier Management said Buffett's resignation became effective immediately, and El Pais said the transition had been completed. Those reports leave Berkshire in focus for the next trading day as investors weigh the leadership change against the latest price action.
