Wall Street Lunch: Buffett Delays Gates Foundation Donation Amid Epstein Review

Berkshire Hathaway will delay its midyear Gates Foundation donation pending a review of its Epstein-related ties, adding a governance/legal overhang for BRK. Separately, Oppenheimer downgraded major banks including Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS), citing late-cycle industry maturity and higher cyclicality—likely weighing on financial-sector sentiment despite no quantified earnings impact in the note.
