Other Congress Members Selling
Berkshire Hathaway had many years of outperforming the S&P 500 under previous CEO Warren Buffett and sometimes traded with what was known as a "Buffett premium," with investors willing to pay more for the assets of the conglomerate based on past and future returns.
With Buffett no longer at the helm, the premium has disappeared, and the stock now trades significantly lower than the S&P 500 returns.
Retail investors and others have likely been selling their Berkshire Hathaway shares if they no longer believe in the future under new CEO Greg Abel or see future underperformance.
While Moran is buying up shares of the conglomerate, some of his peers are among the sellers:
- Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) sold $1,000 to $15,000 each in shares in two separate transactions on May 4
- Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) sold $100,000 to $250,000 in shares on March 31 and $100,000 to $250,000 in shares on Jan. 27
- Rep. Gil Cisneros (D-Calif.) sold $1,000 to $15,000 in shares on March 25
- Rep. Mark Alford (R-Texas) sold $1,000 to $15,000 in shares on March 16
- Rep. Christian Menefee (D-Texas) sold shares on Feb. 10 with transactions totaling $1,000 to $15,00, $15,000 to $50,000 and $15,000 to $50,000
Sen. Alan Armstrong (R-Okla.) is the other member of Congress who has bought and not sold Berkshire Hathaway stock in 2026 with a purchase of $50,000 to $100,000 in shares on March 27
Berkshire Hathaway stock is currently down 1.6% in 2026, with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY), which tracks the S&P 500, up 11.5%.
Time will tell which members of Congress come out on the winning side of betting for or against the post-Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway.
