Top 5 High Dividend Payers Yielding More Than 4%

Overall, the widely followed Berkshire Hathaway investment portfolio shows Warren Buffett knows the value of a consistent and growing dividend, even if he's no fan of paying dividends himself. In fact, the top dozen stocks Berkshire Hathaway owns all pay dividends.

What do Kraft Heinz (KHC), Store Capital (STOR), General Motors (GM), Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA), and Verizon (VZ) have in common? They're Warren Buffett dividend stocks with the highest yields. To be sure, telecom giant Verizon plays a trifling role in the legendary investor's Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) portfolio. Meanwhile, Apple (AAPL) — the best-loved Buffett stock with a 26% portfolio weighting — yields 1.65%. That's less than the current 1.93% dividend yield on the S&P 500 index.
