His Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate recently started buying shares of Verizon and Chevron --- both have attractive dividend yields well-supported by expected...

A vote of confidence by Warren Buffett in a particular stock doesn’t mean you should jump on the bandwagon, but the Berkshire Hathaway CEO’s long-term track record speaks for itself. The man knows how to spot a bargain.

Shares of Verizon were up 3% in early trading Feb. 17, while Chevron was up 3.5%. With dividends reinvested, Verizon had declined 7% for 2021 through Feb. 16, following a flat performance in 2020. Chevron was up 1.5% early Feb. 17 and had already risen 12% for 2021 following a 26% decline in 2020. Oil is on the upswing as investors look ahead to life after the pandemic. West Texas Intermediate crude oil CL00, +0.32% had risen 68% from the close on Oct. 31 through Feb. 16, when it settled at $60.

One way to gauge a company’s ability to cover its dividend is to look at its free cash flow, which is its remaining cash flow after planned capital expenditures. This is money that can be used for any corporate purpose, including expansion, share repurchases or dividend increases. We can measure a company’s free cash flow yield by dividing trailing or estimated free cash flow by the current share price. Because of the disruptions to the U.S.

None of this is to say that Buffett is overly fixated on stocks with high dividend yields. He isn’t. Among the publicly traded holdings the company disclosed Feb. 16, there are plenty of companies that pay no dividends, including Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +0.84%, Biogen Inc. BIIB, -1.77%, Charter Communications Inc. CHTR, +0.41% and General Motors Co. GM, -1.14%, which suspended its quarterly dividend in April.
