Speculation has been circulating that Warren Buffett, through his company Berkshire Hathaway, is considering selling its stake in Kraft Heinz. This speculation arises from the fact that Berkshire Hathaway's cost basis in Kraft Heinz is around $9.8 billion, indicating a potential loss on the investment. Additionally, Berkshire Hathaway directors have left the board of Kraft Heinz, which could facilitate the process of selling shares in the packaged-foods firm.

Kraft Heinz has been evaluating strategic transactions to drive profitable long-term growth and unlock shareholder value. This move comes as the company seeks to address challenges and improve its financial performance. Warren Buffett has previously admitted that he overpaid for H.J. Heinz Company and Kraft Foods Group, and the combination of the two companies did not result in the expected synergies.
