Berkshire Hathaway’s stock price hit its longest streak of consecutive daily declines in more than seven years, with the stock falling for 8 straight trading days.

This is the longest run of consecutive declines for the stock since it fell for 8 straight days in December 2018.

Since its most recent session close higher on March 17, Berkshire A shares have fallen by 4.7% cumulatively, while B shares are down 4.9%.

Berkshire has moved lower in line with the broader market, as the market was hit by global uncertainty driven by rising energy prices and the Iran conflict.

During the same period, although the S&P 500 index did not show a multi-day streak of declines, its overall drop has already reached 5.2%.

Berkshire is down nearly 7% year to date, close to the S&P 500’s decline; this benchmark index has been sliding for 5 consecutive weeks.

Since Warren Buffett announced at the 2025 shareholders’ meeting that he will step down as CEO by the end of 2025, Berkshire’s stock price has fallen by more than 13% cumulatively.

The current price is up about 2% from the August low, but it has already fallen below the recent lows from early November and late January.
