** Shares of Kraft Heinz KHC.O slip 3.9% to $22.82 before the bell

** Berkshire Hathaway BRKa.N may shed its 27.5% stake in Kraft Heinz, according to a regulatory filing, and exit a more than decade-old investment

** Berkshire is by far the largest shareholder of Kraft Heinz, whose merger it helped engineer in 2015 with Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital

 ** The combination of the former Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz proved disappointing, and the combined company said in September it would split in two later this year

** Separately, J.P.Morgan and Jefferies trims PT on the stock

** KHC fell ~21% in 2025
