Even Warren Buffett, the so-called oracle of Omaha and legendary investor, is seeing the impact of COVID-19 through the portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway, the company he's run for more than five decades. The Berkshire Hathaway portfolio has a diverse group of companies spanning many sectors including insurance, retail, energy, and transportation. While this mix helped Berkshire persevere through the Great Recession of 2008, it's now seeing that the coronavirus pandemic is wide-reaching.

Berkshire Hathaway will report quarterly results in May, and in the same month will host an online version of its famous annual shareholder meeting. Both events will give investors and industry watchers a glimpse into how Buffett views the current crisis, and what the company will do to weather the economic fallout ahead.
