Investors are waiting for the publication of Warren Buffett's farewell letter: what is known

Investors from around the world are eagerly awaiting Warren Buffett's farewell letter to be published on November 10. This will be the first letter after the announcement of his resignation as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year. The main issue that worries investors is Buffett's possible promise to pay dividends, as the company has a record $381.6 billion in free cash.

The planned publication has already had an impact on the market: Berkshire Hathaway shares increased by 4.6% amid a general decline in markets, while the Nasdaq Composite fell by 3%. The main factor behind the company's stability is its diversified portfolio of profitable businesses, including insurance, railways and utilities. Operating profit in the third quarter of 2025 increased by 34%, which indicates the success of Berkshire's business model.

Warren Buffett, who has been running the company for over 60 years, has transformed it from a small textile mill into one of the largest conglomerates in the world. His departure marks the end of an era. The issue of changing the dividend policy after the appointment of Greg Able as the new CEO, who will write annual letters to shareholders from 2026, is often discussed. Buffett will remain as chairman, which gives hope for stability during the transition period.
