Why now
Thesis: Buffett chairman exit follows succession plan
Catalyst to watch: Succession details or Berkshire strategy shift
Main risk: Sentiment hit to conglomerate
Why it matters
Buffett stepping down as Berkshire chairman follows a pre-announced succession plan, so governance continuity limits fundamental impact though sentiment around the conglomerate may shift.
Details
Buffett's son, Howard, will replace him as chairman as dictated by a long-standing succession plan, Berkshire said.
