Why Warren Buffett loves dividend stocks

First of all, it isn’t just that Buffett loves dividend stocks. He loves stocks with reliable and sustainable dividends, especially if the company has a track record of increasing the payout year after year.

Just take a look at some of Berkshire’s biggest stock investments in the charts (Note: All 10 of Berkshire’s largest stock positions pay dividends). Coca-Cola has been a staple of Berkshire’s portfolio for decades and has increased its dividend for an astonishing 56 years in a row. Apple is a relatively new dividend payer, but already has a strong history of dividend increases. And, while most banks were required to slash their dividends as a result of the financial crisis, Buffett’s bank stocks (much of which were acquired after the crisis) are all earning plenty of cash to allow for future dividend increases.

Hong Kong Listed Company of the week:
Hopewell Holding brought the curtains down on its 47 years as a listed entity. The last day of the stock’s trading was on April 17 and it was delisted on May 3. So they will be off the Challengers list.
Not the news that would make dividend investors happy, I guess.
