目前尚无迹象表明伯克希尔已启动减持，但CFRA Research公司分析师凯西·塞弗特（Cathy Seifert）猜 测，此举或许只是阿贝尔对伯克希尔多元化投资组合进行全面审查的开始。除了价值逾3000亿美元的庞 大股票投资组合外，伯克希尔还持有包括美国政府雇员保险公司（Geico）在内的多家保险公司、数家 公用事业公司、伯灵顿北方圣达菲铁路公司（BNSF），以及一大批业务领域各异的制造与零售企业。 塞弗特表示："在我看来，阿贝尔的领导风格或将与巴菲特不同。若此次减持最终落地，这将标志着公 司经营思路的重大转变。在巴菲特领导下，伯克希尔通常只进行收购，不进行剥离。我们认为，阿贝尔 很可能会评估旗下所有子公司，并剥离那些未能达到其内部考核标准的公司。" 诚然，阿贝尔早已熟悉伯克希尔旗下多家企业——自2018年起，他就负责管理所有非保险业务。但直到 今年1月1日，他才正式出任首席执行官。目前巴菲特仍担任公司董事长，投资者正密切关注这位新掌舵 人将为这家历史悠久的综合企业集团带来哪些变革。 本月，沃伦·巴菲特的继任者酝酿着上任后的首个大动作。 卡夫亨氏（Kraft Heinz）周二向投资者发出警示：伯克希尔-哈撒 ...
