Technical Glitch at NYSE Causes Stock Price Plunge

A technical issue at the New York Stock Exchange on June 3, 2024, led to a significant disruption in stock trading, affecting several stocks, including Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway A shares. The glitch displayed a 99.9% drop in BRK A shares' price, from $627,400 to $185.10, due to problems with industry-wide price bands. Trading was halted and later resumed after the issue was resolved, with trades made during the glitch period being unwound. The incident followed a recent shift by the NYSE to a one-day settlement period for stocks, complying with a new SEC rule.
