3 No-Brainer Warren Buffett Stocks for Your Portfolio: Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Bank of America

Warren Buffett, the legendary investor, has transformed his company, Berkshire Hathaway, into a massive conglomerate with a recent market value of $1 trillion. This reflects the value of the businesses it owns entirely and the various stocks it holds. Under Buffett's watch, Berkshire Hathaway's value has increased by 5,500,000% (nearly 20% annually) over 60 years. In contrast, the S&P 500 index of 500 of America's biggest companies gained about 39,000% (10.4% annually, on average). Given all that, it's more than reasonable to at least consider some Buffett- or Berkshire-owned stocks for your portfolio. Here are three such stocks to consider: Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a powerful diversified business with a forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 33, well below its five-year average of 48. Most of its revenue comes from its dominant cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), which has the potential to grow briskly as more businesses do more online and artificial intelligence requires more infrastructure. Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is a dividend-paying stock that has gained about 18% over the past year and has averaged annual gains of around 9% over the past 15 years. It has boosted its payout for 63 consecutive years, so future annual increases are very likely. The company has recently picked up speed by shedding some less profitable beverages, acquiring newer and faster-growing brands, and upping its earnings. Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) is another roughly fairly valued stock with a recent forward P/E of 12, a bit above its five-year average of 11. The stock is a dividend payer, too, recently yielding 2.3%. There's a lot to like about Bank of America as a long-term investment, such as its diversification in retail banking, investment banking, and wealth management. Consider these three Berkshire-Hathaway-owned stocks for your long-term portfolio.
