The inaugural shareholder letter from Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel is due on Saturday, along with Berkshire's annual report and fourth-quarter earnings. Wall Street will be on alert for Abel's insights on key issues such as dividends and stock repurchases.

Abel, 63, became CEO at year-end when Warren Buffett retired from the job after 60 years at the helm. Abel was Buffett's handpicked successor and had overseen the company's vast non-insurance operating units for nearly eight years before becoming CEO.

Buffett, 95, remains chairman, is the company's controlling shareholder and has said he plans to be at Berkshire's Omaha offices daily this year.
