Berkshire Hathaway's stock price has fallen for 8 consecutive days.

Recently, the continuous decline in the stock price of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in the United States has attracted high market attention. As of this Friday, the company's stock price has fallen for 8 consecutive trading days, marking the longest consecutive decline since December 2018. Currently, Berkshire Hathaway's total market value is approximately $1 trillion. Since Warren Buffett announced his resignation as CEO at the end of last year, the company's stock price has fallen by more than 13%.

During the same period, although the S&P 500 index did not experience multiple consecutive days of decline, its overall decline has reached 5.2%. Looking at the longer term, year-to-date, both Berkshire Hathaway and the S&P 500 index have similar declines, both close to 7%.
