Squawk Pod: Berkshire Hathaway 2026 annual meeting: part 1 – 05/02/26 | Audio Only
It’s the first Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Meeting with the company’s new CEO Greg Abel presiding, while chairman Warren Buffett sits in the audience of the meeting after 60 years on the stage. CNBC’s Becky Quick and Mike Santoli cover the beginning of this new chapter of “Capitalist Woodstock” with shareholders like Bill Murray and Ariel Investments founder and Co-CEO John Rogers. Then, Greg Abel takes the stage with Berkshire’s vice chairman of insurance operations, Ajit Jain, for a Q&A session with shareholders. The two address AI, cyber risks, global energy flows during the war in Iran, and much more. Plus, a cameo from Warren Buffett–both real and…not so real.
