Warren Buffett to address shareholders in annual letter on February 22

Berkshire Hathaway Inc has announced that its much-awaited 2024 Annual Report which will include Chairman Warren Buffet’s letter for shareholders is all set to be released on Saturday, February 2025 at 8:00 am Eastern time. The report will be accessible on the company’s official website.

Annual Report in focus

The upcoming Annual Report will provide an in-depth analysis of Berkshire Hathaway’s financial performance and major developments for 2024. Along with Buffett’s letter, the report will also include insights into the company’s diverse portfolio from insurance, energy, freight rail transportation, retail operations, and manufacturing services. Investors are keenly waiting for Buffet’s viewpoint on Berkshire’s long-term strategy and market outlook.

Upcoming shareholder meeting

The report will also highlight plans for the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting slated to place on May 3, 2025. This letter will give investors a chance to gain deeper insight into the company’s strategic planning. Moreover, Berkshire Hathaway will also be releasing its earnings statement showcasing its financial results over the last year.

According to a Bloomberg report, investors in Japanese stocks are closely watching Buffett’s letter with a hope for insights that could affect the country’s trading houses. The veteran investor known as the ‘’Oracle of Omaha’’ has earlier also validated Japanese trading companies like Marubeni Corp and Itochu Corp, which resulted in boosting their stocks. Market participants will be analysing Buffett’s comment for indications about the future of these companies, particularly as they are being affected because of falling energy prices and pressure from the US government to cut down oil costs.

As usual, Buffett’s shareholder letter is anticipated to give valuable insights not just into Berkshire Hathaway’s performance but also into market trends.
