Billionaire Warren Buffett owns this stock with a 60% dividend yield.
Story by Charlie Keough
Investors seeking inspiration in the stock market, they should look no further than Warren Buffett.
He’s arguably one of the best stock pickers of all time. His company Berkshire Hathaway has long produced returns that have comfortably trumped the market.
Alongside seeking out stocks that can bag him incredible returns, Buffett loves to make passive income. And today his investment in Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO.) yields a staggering 59.7%.
A whopping payout
Readers may wonder how that’s possible. Well, let me explain.
Buffett first snapped up its shares back in 1988. Over the next few decades, he slowly built up his position. Today, he owns over 400m shares worth over $24.7bn.
This year, he’s set to receive $776m in dividends from his investment. For us mere mortals, the Coca-Cola yield stands at 3.1%. For Buffett, that means he’s in line to receive back just shy of 60% of his $1.3bn investment through dividends. Incredible.
Lessons to learn
But what does this tell us?
Well, first it shows that playing the long game is effective. For starters, the value of Buffett’s investment has risen massively in 36 years. During that time, the Coca-Cola share price has gone through numerous peaks and troughs. But those are ironed out over a longer timeframe. His average buy price is $32.90. Today, a share costs $63.90.
It also shows that targeting shares that pay a dividend is an incredible way to start generating a second income. The ‘Oracle of Omaha’ owns plenty of other stocks that also have bulky yields, such as Citi Group, Chevron, and Kraft Heinz.
It’s something I’ve tried to do with my own portfolio. That’s why around 75% of the stocks I own pay a dividend.
In Q1 this year, Coca-Cola delivered revenue growth of 3% to $11.3bn while earnings per share also grew 3% to $0.74. This shows that demand for its products has remained steady despite economic uncertainty. It’s no surprise given that over 1.9bn servings of its drinks are consumed in over 200 countries every day.
There’s also its dividend track record. Its yield is by no means the highest out there. However, it has increased its payout for 62 years on the trot. Dividends are never guaranteed, so a record like that is worth its weight in gold. It’s for such reasons that I suspect Buffett is such a big fan of the stock.

A bee…utiful Welcome offer of £70+ 10 Free Spins is also up for the taking once you register and become part of the hive where you can enjoy the bee’s knees of Bingo with 75 and 90 ball games. Between 12 and 19 random positions are marked on each spin and remain in place for any Tumbles in the same sequence. If the golden bee Super Wild symbol lands on a marked spot it activates the position and any symbols that land on it will turn into wilds. The bee also sends 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 extra bees to random marked positions which become wilds for any remaining Tumbles. Everything resets on a non-winning spin. Hitting a winning combination anytime, bee symbols in the Money Bee feature, or scatters during the free spins lead to the removal of these symbols from the grid. New symbols drop down into these vacant positions and can repeat the process if another win, bee, or scatter symbols appear.
