2 No-Brainer Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Right Now

Warren Buffett may have retired at the end of 2025 as Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRKB) CEO (he remains chairman), but the legendary investor built quite a reputation over the decades. After all, he's grown his net worth into the billions.

He's built this incredible wealth as the ultimate long-term investor, telling people that his favorite holding period is forever.Given the impossibility of knowing what will happen day-to-day, a long-term approach remains the wisest course.

Berkshire Hathaway's stock holdings aren't a secret. You can examine which equities the company owns via its quarterly SEC 13F filings. Perusing its latest filing, which details its Dec. 31, 2025, positions, these two stocks stand out as buying opportunities.

Certainly, simply following any investor, even one as accomplished as Buffett, is unwise. However, after digging further into the company's fundamentals, here's why these companies belong in your long-term portfolio.

1. Coca-Cola

If you're looking for dividends, Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) should certainly appeal to you given its consistently rising payments. In fact, last month, the company's board of directors announced that it approved a 4% increase in the quarterly rate to $0.53 a share.

That made it 64 straight years with a dividend increase, an impressive feat. The company has raised payments through all kinds of environments.

It puts Coca-Cola in the exclusive company of Dividend Kings. These are companies that have increased dividends for at least 50 consecutive years.

At the new dividend rate, Coca-Cola's shares have a 2.8% dividend yield, more than double the S&P 500 index's 1.2%.

Aside from dividends, the business remains sound. Although the beverage company sold its first soda in 1886, it's not a stale company with sliding revenue.

Coca-Cola's 2025 top line, adjusted to remove foreign-currency translation effects and the effect of acquisitions, grew 5%. Price/mix accounted for 4 percentage points of the increase, with volume adding 1 percentage point.

While investors would undoubtedly like to see the company sell more product, this comes during a challenging economic environment in many regions, including the U.S. While the Iran war adds more uncertainty given spiking oil prices, it's noteworthy that Coca-Cola continues to gain market share.

This suggests that when the economic climate improves, and weary consumers start spending more on discretionary items, Coca-Cola's sales growth rate will increase.

2. Domino's Pizza

Domino's Pizza's (NASDAQ: DPZ) inexpensive menu offerings combined with convenience (takeout and delivery) have long appealed to customers. Started in 1960, the chain continues to produce consistent sales growth.

Its fourth-quarter U.S. same-store sales (comps) grew 3.7%, and its international locations saw a 0.7% increase. That capped off a year of 3% and 1.9% comps growth, respectively.

While Domino's had more than 22,000 restaurants in 90 countries, fortunately, it still has expansion opportunities. Last year, it opened 172 U.S. locations (167 franchised) and 604 international restaurants.

Aside from the expansion opportunity, with about 99% of its locations franchised, the company can open new locations in a capital-efficient manner. It also means that Domino's doesn't have to invest a lot of money to own assets. The business generates revenue by collecting royalties based on a percentage of sales.

That means Domino's produces plenty of free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures), which it uses partly to reward shareholders with dividends. That makes Domino's shares an attractive investment for those looking for capital appreciation and income.

The board of directors announced last month that it was boosting the quarterly dividend payment by a sharp 15% to $1.99 a share. That shows how much confidence the board and management have in Domino's prospects.

At the new rate, Domino's has a better-than-market dividend yield of 2%.
