Legendary Warren Buffett is about to announce his farewell in his final letter.

(Dan Tri) - Warren Buffett's final letter as CEO is closely followed by investors, not only for its sentimental value but also for its hints about the corporation's future direction after he leaves the position.

The farewell letter is expected to be released on November 10 (US time). In it, the "Oracle of Omaha" will share his thoughts on philanthropy, Berkshire Hathaway and other issues that may be of interest to shareholders and the public, according to an announcement from Berkshire Hathaway.

Observers say this is considered the official farewell of the 95-year-old legendary investor after more than 6 decades of leading the group from a struggling textile company to the powerful investment empire it is today.

The news comes as Berkshire Hathaway shares continue to perform well despite a widespread sell-off on Wall Street.

Specifically, while major stock indexes fell across the board, with the Nasdaq Composite losing 3% due to a wave of tech stock sell-offs, Berkshire Hathaway shares remained steady, rising 4.6%.

This phenomenon demonstrates the power of the strategy of diversifying investments into industries that generate stable cash flows, which has turned Berkshire Hathaway into a "safe harbor" during volatile market times.

Investors have chosen Berkshire for its defensive Geico insurance business and its strong balance sheet. Notably, the conglomerate held $382 billion in cash at the end of September, a financial fortress in a volatile economic environment.

Outstanding financial results also contributed to the sharp increase in Berkshire's stock price. In the third quarter of 2025, the group's operating profit increased 34% compared to the same period last year, in which the insurance segment recorded impressive growth of more than 200%, reaching 2.37 billion USD.

Notably, billionaire Warren Buffett, who is set to step down as CEO at the end of this year, is still selling shares. As of the third quarter of 2025, Berkshire Hathaway has been a net seller of shares for 12 consecutive quarters. The market is abuzz with speculation that the "Oracle of Omaha" may have reduced the proportion of Apple shares - the group's largest investment - in the last quarter.

"In the current uncertain economic environment, we still appreciate the potential of Berkshire Hathaway shares thanks to its defensive businesses and abundant cash resources," UBS bank affirmed in a recent report.

Still, Berkshire's stock has underperformed the S&P 500 this year as the "Buffett halo effect" - the added value of his fame - has faded since the announcement of his retirement plans. The stock is up just under 10% in 2025, lagging the broader market's 14.4% gain.
