Yes. On September 18, 2026, Berkshire Hathaway announced that Warren E. Buffett was named chairman emeritus, effective immediately, while remaining a member of the board of directors.
The board elected his son, Howard G. Buffett — a Berkshire director since 1993 — as chairman. Greg Abel continues as chief executive officer. Buffett said the timing was right to complete the long-planned transition after stepping down as CEO earlier in 2026.
