  • 3 Dividend Stocks Warren Buffett Would Buy if Stocks Crash
    April 12, 2026, 3:06 PM EDT. Veteran investor Warren Buffett's favored dividend stocks include Coca-Cola, Chevron, and McDonald's.

Chevron (NYSE: CVX), offering a 3.7% yield, remains vital despite fossil fuel concerns with the International Energy Agency forecasting rising crude oil consumption through 2050. McDonald's (NYSE: MCD), though not owned by Berkshire, meets Buffett's criteria of strong brand, reliable cash flow, and shareholder-focused management, with a 2.4% dividend yield. These stocks represent value plays investors might target amid market downturns as resilient, income-generating assets.
