MohamedThu, Aug 21, 2025, 10:01 PM 3 min readWarren Buffett speaks onstage during Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on October 13, 2015 in Washington, DC.Paul Morigi/Getty ImagesVeteran analyst Meyer Shields said he was "shocked" by Warren Buffett's decision to retire.Shields expects Berkshire Hathaway to pay a dividend and face more scrutiny under Greg Abel.He disagreed with other Buffett gurus who predicted Abel might intervene more in subsidiaries.A veteran analyst says he was stunned by Warren Buffett's decision to step down as Berkshire Hathaway CEO this year — and told Business Insider what he expects to change under his successor, Greg Abel."I was shocked," Meyer Shields, a managing director at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods who's been covering Berkshire for more than 15 years, said in an interview.Shields didn't see Buffett's resignation coming because the famed investor had "frequently talked" about wanting to stay in the top job as long as possible. "This has been his life more than anything else," Shields added.Buffett, who turns 95 next week, had just showcased during the hourslong Q&A at Berkshire's annual meeting in May that he still had the "mental acuity" and familiarity with Berkshire's sprawling operations to remain in charge, Shields said.The fact that Buffett made the announcement signals it was "voluntary" and "his decision," Shields continued. The legendary stock picker may have opted to step down because he wanted to leave on his terms and with his legacy intact, he added.Buffett has "always been very good at not overplaying his hand," Shields said.Berkshire has "so much cash now" — a record $344 billion as of June 30 — that it's high time it returns some to shareholders via a dividend, Shields said. The conglomerate is "hoarding" the huge sum, he continued, and it's "not doing anybody any good for that to just be sitting there."Buffett's company has only paid one dividend during his 60-year tenure. He once joked he must have been in the bathroom when the board approved it.Buffett has said he prefers to let shareholders decide how much income they want to draw out of the company, and doesn't want to pay them something that is taxed.Shields said a dividend is "quite likely" under Abel. He also suggested there could be a spike in employee turnover among staff who might not feel the same commitment toward the new boss.He predicted a "little bit more skepticism" from Wall Street and the financial media when the company is no longer led by someone so revered he's dubbed "The Oracle of Omaha."Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoS&P 5006,466.91 +96.74 (+1.52%)Dow 3045,631.74 +846.24 (+1.89%)Nasdaq21,496.54 +396.22 (+1.88%)Russell 20002,361.95 +87.85 (+3.86%)VIX14.22 -2.38 (-14.34%)Gold3,417.20 +35.60 (+1.05%)PortfolioSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop gainersOPEN Opendoor Technologies Inc. 5.01 +1.41 (+39.17%)UI Ubiquiti Inc. 510.23 +119.66 (+30.64%)MNSO MINISO Group Holding Limited 26.63 +4.46 (+20.12%)RXO RXO, Inc. 16.97 +2.27 (+15.44%)NIO NIO Inc. 6.34 +0.80 (+14.44%)Top losersNEGG Newegg Commerce, Inc. 100.75 -15.03 (-12.98%)BJ BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. 97.11 -9.05 (-8.52%)INTU Intuit Inc. 662.66 -35.10 (-5.03%)DUOL Duolingo, Inc. 331.87 -13.65 (-3.95%)CSX CSX Corporation 34.58 -1.29 (-3.60%)Most activeOPEN Opendoor Technologies Inc. 5.01 +1.41 (+39.17%)NIO NIO Inc. 6.34 +0.80 (+14.44%)INTC Intel Corporation 24.80 +1.30 (+5.53%)NVDA NVIDIA Corporation 177.99 +3.01 (+1.72%)LCID Lucid Group, Inc. 2.0300 -0.0600 (-2.87%)Earnings eventsTrending tickersINTC Intel Corporation 24.80 +1.30 (+5.53%)ETH-USD Ethereum USD 4,703.12 +414.98 (+9.68%)OPEN Opendoor Technologies Inc. 5.01 +1.41 (+39.17%)TSLA Tesla, Inc. 340.01 +19.90 (+6.22%)^DJI Dow Jones Industrial Average 45,631.74 +846.24 (+1.89%)Top economic events
