BRK.B at $509: How Low Does It Go With Warren Buffett Stepping Down as Chairman?

Warren Buffett is officially stepping down at 96, Berkshire is entering uncharted territory. Greg Abel is taking over operations, while Todd Combs and Ted Weschler inherit the massive $300B+ stock portfolio, but the real story here is the absolute mountain of cash they are sitting on.

Buffett historically hoarded that $277B fortress because he refused to overpay for businesses, but the new team is going to face immense pressure to actually do something with it. Following Buffett's departure, attention turns to Berkshire Hathaway's massive cash reserve and whether new leadership will alter its long-standing capital allocation strategy.

Now that Buffett is officially stepping down, do you think Berkshire will finally capitulate and issue a dividend, or are you just waiting for a pullback to buy the dip on BRK.B?
