1 Reason to Buy Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) Stock

Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) is one of the world's largest and most successful companies. Led by visionary investor and CEO Warren Buffett since 1965, the investment conglomerate has a market capitalization of roughly $995 billion -- and it ranks as the 11th-largest overall business in the world.

Buffett has been an incredible leader for the company and helped it to crush the broader market over the last half century, but he's poised to step down as the company's CEO at the end of this year. Board chairman Greg Abel will be succeeding Buffett in the CEO role -- a passing of the torch that will mark one of the most high-profile leadership transitions in finance history.
