Buffett and his successor, Greg Abel, are fans of five Japanese stocks. Abel plans for Berkshire Hathaway to own these stocks for decades and would love to boost its stake by 5x in each of them.

In a May 2021 interview, Warren Buffett confirmed Abel as his future successor as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, saying he was “100 percent comfortable” with Abel as the man to take over his company.

No one can fill Warren Buffett's shoes. However, he's passing the baton as Berkshire Hathaway's CEO to a worthy successor in Greg Abel. Abel currently leads Berkshire Hathaway Energy.
