Will Berkshire Hathaway start paying a dividend in 2026?

There is no confirmed plan. Berkshire has favored buybacks when shares trade below intrinsic value. A dividend would lower reinvestable cash, so management will weigh trade-offs. Watch the 2026 annual letter and the next earnings call for any change in policy on Berkshire Hathaway stock.

Are buybacks likely under Greg Abel?

If valuation improves versus intrinsic value, buybacks can return. There were no repurchases since early 2024, but cash is abundant. Signals to watch include price to book, cash levels, and commentary on thresholds. Any restart would be supportive for Berkshire Hathaway stock over time.

How can Swiss investors buy Berkshire Hathaway stock efficiently?

Use a broker offering USD trading, compare FX spreads, and check platform fees. If using a Swiss broker, the federal securities transfer stamp duty may apply. Because Berkshire pays no dividend, US withholding tax is less relevant. Review custody terms and total costs before placing orders.

What price levels matter for BRK-B near term?

Bollinger support sits around 491 to 492, with resistance near 508 to 512 based on recent indicators. The 50-day average near 498 is a useful gauge. A close above resistance could target the 52-week high, while a break below support would caution holders of Berkshire Hathaway stock.
