  "summary": "The Coca-Cola Company has been a long-standing investment in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, and one of Warren Buffett's favorite stocks. According to Yahoo Finance, Buffett bought Coca-Cola stock for Berkshire Hathaway decades ago, following the 1987 stock market crash. By 1994, Berkshire had accumulated approximately 400 million shares for $1.3 billion.\n\nThose shares are now worth nearly $36 billion. Coca-Cola offers a simple business model and decades of steady growth, aligning with Buffett's investing style. The company pays $2.12 per share in dividends, with Yahoo Finance noting that these dividends pay back roughly two-thirds of Buffett's initial investment each year.\n\nThe stock remains in Berkshire's portfolio under new CEO Greg Abel, who took command at the start of this year. The Coca-Cola Company offers a steady dividend, making it a potential fit for investors looking for a reliable income stream.",
