Warren Buffett’s 29 Best Yielding Dividend Stocks

Warren Buffett - Berkshire Hathaway Q4/2012 Fund Investing Strategies By Dividend Yield – Stock Capital, Investment. Buying dividend growth stocks is a popular and proven way to make money. A great investor who followed this approach in a very public way is Warren Buffett. I published recently a full portfolio overview with his latest moves on my blog.

Sometimes I get inspired by his investments when I don’t have enough ideas what to buy. Today I like to show you the best yielding stocks of his portfolio: I made a list of his best yielding shares from his latest billionaire’s fund. Of his 41 stock holdings pay 29 dividends. The highest yielding stock is still GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a British drug company. Its dividend yield is 6.12 percent. The top stocks are a mix of drugs, newspapers and electric utilities.


In total, he own 41 stocks with a total portfolio worth of USD 75,313,620,000. Buffett bought two new companies and added ten additional stocks to his fund. The most important buy was Wells Fargo and DaVita HealthCare Partners. Both stocks affected his portfolio by more than 0.5 percent.
