This year's Berkshire-Hathaway Annual Meeting turned out to be one for the ages. HVP team members Marino Patrk and Christopher Davis made the trek to Omaha. While in town, they attended investor conferences, toured the exhibition hall that brings all the Berkshire companies to life, and attended the legendary Q&A session in the arena with about 40,000 other shareholders. Following the Berkshire meeting, they also had a chance to attend a shareholder brunch for another HVP holding, Markel Group.

2025 Berkshire-Hathaway Annual Meeting Roundup
On this page, we gathered up all our research notes, photos, and a video interview from the weekend to share with our clients, friends, and investors around the world.
To set the stage, HVP's Marino Patrk noted a few Buffett comments from the meeting as being particularly timely for investors in May 2025:
“If it matters to you whether your stocks are down 15%, you need a different investment philosophy.”
"Patience is key" - Berkshire made most of its money over 50 years in "8 or 9 ideas"
Warren Buffet
Check out the clip below as Christopher Davis joins Diane Hall King on Schwab Network to consider the significance of Greg Abel succeeding Warren Buffett, much in the way that Tim Cook succeeded Steve Job at Apple.
