2 Buffett Stocks to Load Up On—And 1 to Ditch
Submitted by Nathan Reiff. Originally Published: 1/19/2026.
Quick Look
- With 64 consecutive years of dividend increases and a yield of 2.89%, it's difficult to argue with Coca-Cola's reputation as a strong buy-and-hold candidate, even despite concerns surrounding inflation.
- Visa's operations may give it an advantage over some of its competitors in the face of possible credit card interest rate limits.
- Bristol Myers Squibb retains many attractive qualities for investors, but near-term pressures from Medicaid changes and patent cliffs could be an issue in the coming quarters.
Warren Buffett made substantial changes to the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) portfolio in the first quarter of 2025, selling roughly $4 billion of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares to build a sizable cash-and-Treasuries reserve.
Investors who track Berkshire's 13F filings to mimic Buffett must accept that those filings are delayed and incomplete. Still, there is a case to be made that using the Oracle of Omaha's moves as a starting point can be a reasonable strategy for some investors.
Gold has weathered every financial disaster in history, and it's up more than 100 percent in the last two years. But there's another reason to pay attention now. Since 1950, roughly 70 percent of all the gold on earth has already been mined. What remains is harder to find and more costly to extract. Supplies are running out at the exact moment the world needs gold to stabilize heavily indebted financial systems. A four-stock portfolio of top gold developers is now available, selling at an average 82 percent discount to asset value.

Some of Buffett's long-standing holdings — stalwarts like The Coca‑Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) and Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) — may warrant a closer look for everyday investors. Conversely, stocks such as Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY), which Berkshire owned only briefly years ago, might deserve a second look as potential sells.
Coca-Cola Is a Proven Dividend Stock For Good Reason
One common criticism of Coca‑Cola, one of Berkshire's most famous buy-and-hold positions, is that its valuation is less attractive than some alternatives.
At a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 23.8, the stock is around—or below—levels seen for much of the past two years.
Beyond valuation concerns, Coca‑Cola has many strengths. It enjoys considerable pricing power, which helps sustain cash flow through periods of high inflation.
The company reported robust profits and beat EPS estimates by $0.04 in the last reported quarter. With ample cash on hand, Coca‑Cola should be able to continue raising its dividend regularly.
With a 2.89% dividend yield and more than six decades of consecutive dividend increases, Coca‑Cola remains a top choice for long-term, income-focused investors.
The expected IPO of its Indian bottling subsidiary, which could raise about $1 billion in proceeds, could provide additional upside in the coming years.
Visa's Niche Within the Credit Card Landscape Gives it a Crucial Advantage
With talk of potential limits on credit-card interest rates, it might seem counterintuitive to buy a stock like Visa.
However, Visa stands apart from some competitors because it has relatively limited exposure to interest-rate swings—Visa primarily generates revenue through transaction fees rather than lending.
As long as consumers continue to use Visa-branded cards, the company's revenue should be less sensitive to rate risks than lenders'. If affordability pressures push more consumers toward credit, Visa could be well-positioned to benefit.
Visa also benefits from strong margins and a relatively attractive valuation versus peers.
For fiscal 2025's fourth quarter, ended Sept. 30, Visa beat analyst expectations on both earnings per share (EPS) and revenue, and Wall Street expects roughly 13% earnings growth over the next year. As it expands services and supports fast-growing stablecoin-linked programs, Visa still has room to grow.
Near-Term Healthcare Uncertainty and Patent Headwinds Challenge Bristol Myers Squibb
Although some investors associate Bristol Myers Squibb with Buffett, Berkshire owned BMY only briefly and sold its stake several years ago.
Supporters of BMY point to the competitive dividend yield, several brands generating more than $1 billion in revenue, and a solid balance sheet.
However, caution is warranted because of two headwinds: proposed changes to Medicaid under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and looming patent cliffs for blockbuster drugs Eliquis and Opdivo.
BMY may still be a worthwhile investment for those with a long time horizon.
More active investors, however, should expect potential pressure on cash flow and near-term revenue and earnings as these challenges play out in the quarters ahead.
