1 Top Warren Buffett Stock for Dividend Investors

This tech giant could become a dividend beast over the next decade and beyond.

Warren Buffett's investment portfolio has seen changes under new CEO Greg Abel, but some long-standing investments remain. Apple is Berkshire Hathaway's largest position, according to Motley Fool. Despite its low 0.3% yield, Apple may be considered a dividend stock.

Coca-Cola is another one of Buffett's favorite stocks and a long-standing investment in Berkshire's portfolio. Buffett bought Coca-Cola stock for Berkshire Hathaway after the 1987 stock market crash. By 1994, Berkshire had accumulated approximately 400 million shares for $1.3 billion. Yahoo Finance reports those shares are now worth nearly $36 billion.

Coca-Cola's shares pay out roughly two-thirds of Buffett's initial investment each year through dividends, which currently total $2.12 per share, as per Yahoo Finance.
