A dividend could be on the horizon for Berkshire shareholders. Cash from operating activities continues to grow, supporting both a dividend and a comfortable cash cushion.

Berkshire Hathaway isn't likely to change as much as some investors may fear now that Warren Buffett has handed over the CEO reins to Greg Abel. The company has a huge cash hoard.

Berkshire Hathaway is one of 11 companies currently valued at over $1 trillion. Nearly 26% of Berkshire Hathaway's total revenue in the third quarter came from three main subsidiaries.

Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:KHC) stock is down 7% to trade at $22.07 at last check, following news that Berkshire Hathaway -- the company's biggest shareholder -- could sell nearly all of its shares.

Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:KHC, XETRA:KHNZ) shares fell more than 4% after Berkshire Hathaway, the company's largest shareholder, filed paperwork indicating it could sell its entire stake. The filing, submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 20, showed Berkshire, now led by CEO Greg Abel, holds about 27.5% of Kraft Heinz, roughly 325 million shares.

Warren Buffett's successor appears to be considering his first significant move after taking over as CEO this month.Kraft Heinz warned investors Tuesday that Berkshire Hathaway may be interested in selling its 325 million shares in the name brand food giant that Buffett helped create back in 2015. The news came in a filing with stock market regulators.Buffett and the Brazilian investment firm 3G Capital orchestrated the merger of Kraft and Heinz back then because they already owned Heinz and believed in the power of their brands.

Investors have long anticipated how Greg Abel, Warren Buffett's successor as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway ( NYSE:BRK-A )( NYSE:BRK-B ), would influence the company following Buffett's departure.

The move underscores Greg Abel's willingness to look past a deal that has long stood out as a rare blemish in Buffett's otherwise storied record.

Warren Buffett only purchased shares in businesses that he had deep knowledge of. Investors should focus on understanding their circle of competence.
