Warren Buffett's Dividend Paying Stocks
Dividend Yield | Dec 05, 2012 06:05AM ET
Buy big dividend stocks is one of my favorite themes. A great investor who followed this approach successfully is Warren Buffett. I made a list of his best yielding stocks from his latest corporate report - Berkshire Hathaway (BRk.A). From among his 38 stocks, 28 pay dividends. The highest yielding stock is GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a British drug company. Its dividend yield is 5.32 percent. The top stocks are a mix of pharmaceutical, oil and gas and newspaper businesses.
As of Q3/2012 (September 30, 2012), Warren Buffett’s has 38 stocks with a total portfolio value worth of USD 75.326 billion. Buffett recently bought four new companies and added eight additional stocks.
His most important buys have been Wells Fargo (WFC) and Deere (DE). WFC has increased by 2.8 percent. Both buys affected his portfolio only by around 0.5 percent. His stake in General Motors (GM) has doubled as well as his stake in National Oilwell Varco (NOV). As you can see, the average yield of his dividend stocks is 2.44 percent – not very high. But it proves that under the right circumstances, it makes sense to give up yield for growth and value.
