Berkshire Hathaway's stock has experienced an 11% decline since Warren Buffett's announcement of his resignation as CEO. Observers speculate whether this decline reflects a loss of the so-called "Buffett premium," a term used to describe the general belief that the company's stock trades at a higher valuation due to Buffett's notable investing skills and management history. Following the announcement, while Berkshire's stock dropped, the S&P 500 index showed a rise of 10%, which has led to varying opinions on the significance of Buffett's influence moving forward.
