Warren Buffett is orchestrating what appears to be his final major investment move with Berkshire Hathaway’s acquisition of Occidental Petroleum’s petrochemical division in a strategic $10 billion transaction. This deal exemplifies Buffett’s signature ‘buddy deal’ approach, simultaneously strengthening Occidental’s balance sheet while enhancing the value of Berkshire’s substantial existing stake in the oil company. The timing coincides with Berkshire’s leadership transition, marking what could be the legendary investor’s last significant play before Greg Abel assumes the CEO role.
