Greg Abel is seen by many analysts and investors as the likeliest candidate to one day lead Berkshire Hathaway Inc. The latest disclosure on his stock holdings offers just a glimpse of his potential stake in Warren Buffett’s sprawling company.
A regulatory filing on Friday shows Abel indirectly holds about $2.1 million of stock in the Omaha, Nebraska-based company. But a separate disclosure last year noted an agreement that could catapult his holdings higher. That filing showed he could convert a stake in Berkshire’s energy business into more than $400 million of stock in the conglomerate.
The new filing was triggered by his promotion last week to vice chairman for non-insurance operations at Berkshire, a position that will put him in charge of businesses ranging from BNSF Railway to Dairy Queen. Abel previously ran Berkshire’s energy unit. Buffett elevated another executive, Ajit Jain, to be vice chairman of the insurance businesses. Both executives joined the board, and Buffett said the promotions were part of a “movement toward succession.”

Wall Street enjoyed a positive session on Monday, with highlights including strong gains for most major benchmarks. Investors found it easier to be optimistic about the prospects for continued economic growth than to be pessimistic about the potential negative outcomes of recent trade disputes between the U.S. and key allies. Even so, some companies had to deal with bad news that hurt them disproportionately and sent their shares lower. Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ), Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NKTR), and Gulfport Energy (NASDAQ:GPOR) were among the worst performers on the day. Here's why they did so poorly.

Thursday was another tough session for the market, but major benchmarks at least managed to finish above their lowest levels. After yesterday's decline of more than 800 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average's roughly 550-point loss today seemed almost calm by comparison, despite wide swings that took the average all the way up to the unchanged level around noon. Investors are focusing on the more worrying prospects for the near future, and some individual companies also had to deal with challenges that sent their share prices lower. CVS Health (NYSE:CVS), Fluor (NYSE:FLR), and Square (NYSE:SQ) were among the worst performers on the day. Here's why they did so poorly.
