Is Warren Buffett About To Dump The Highest-Yielding Dividend Stock In Berkshire Hathaway's Portfolio?
Warren Buffett has affinity for dividend stocks, and Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ: KHC) is the highest-yielding dividend stock in his portfolio. Unfortunately for Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A, BRK.B) took a $3.76 billion loss on its stake in Kraft Heinz in Q2. Could that lead to Buffett dumping Kraft Heinz entirely? Kraft merged with Heinz in 2015 to become one of America's largest food and beverage manufacturers. Both names are instantly recognizable all over the world for mayonnaise and ketchup. Don't Miss: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Accredited Investors: Grab Pre-IPO Shares of the AI Company Powering Hasbro, Sephora & MGM— That is not the limit of major brands under the Kraft Heinz umbrella, which also includes Velveeta, Oscar Mayer, and Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Berkshire began investing in Heinz in 2013, and its shares were transferred to Kraft Heinz after the merger. It looked like a perfect marriage at the time. Heinz ketchup and Kraft mayonnaise can be found in pantries or refrigerators worldwide. That's why Berkshire's investment in Kraft Heinz looked like a classic buy-and-hold play. It aligned with Buffett's philosophy of investing in iconic brands with a strong market share, such as Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX). Kraft Heinz is currently paying a 5.97% dividend, which is a very respectable yield by any definition. However, a deeper look at Kraft Heinz may explain why major shareholders could be looking to push the eject button. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can Kraft Heinz's dividend seems impressive at first glance, but it hasn't resulted in the same payout Kraft Heinz shareholders have grown accustomed to. That's because Kraft Heinz stock has been mired in a deep slump since August 2024, when it was trading in the $35 range. The yield for 2024 was 4.73%, but Kraft Heinz stock closed out the year trading around $30 and paid around $1.41 per share. Kraft Heinz shares hit a 52-week low of $25.53 in early July and then rebounded to $28.68 before retreating to around $27 in recent sessions. The 5.97% dividend is impressive on paper. However, passive income investors can't rely on a high-yield dividend if the company's share price doesn't pull out of its slump. Unfortunately for Kraft Heinz, there is no easy way out of its current difficulties. Yes, the company's main products have a strong market share, but the underlying business fundamentals are working against Kraft Heinz. Kiplinger estimates that Kraft Heinz took on $33 billion in debt to complete their $45 billion merger, and it also reports that $20 billion of that debt remains unpaid. That kind of debt load can become an anchor on any company's stock, including Kraft debt's negative effect on Kraft Heinz's stock performance becomes even clearer when examining its stock-price performance since the merger. Kraft Heinz shares were trading around $46 in the honeymoon period after the merger and peaked in the $90 range in mid-2017. Since then, its share price has plunged nearly 70% to the current level. All things considered, it's not a pretty picture, even with a dividend approaching 6%. There is even speculation that Kraft Heinz could be headed for a breakup. With all that swirling in the background, it's not hard to see why Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway may be preparing to liquidate its Kraft Heinz shares, or at least a large portion of them. A massive stock dump by Berkshire could be the straw that broke the camel's back. Read Next: $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation.

Heinz and Smoothie King unveil bizarre ketchup smoothie — and are hit with backlash over ‘dirty' drink: ‘I fear these are the end times'
If tomatoes are a fruit, is ketchup a smoothie? Heinz and Smoothie King have teamed up to create a tomato ketchup smoothie — and consumers are confused by the concoction. The blood-red beverage — which hit select stores on Wednesday — blends açai sorbet, strawberries, raspberries, apple juice, and Heinz's signature ketchup to create a sweet-tart taste. Social media users reacted in shock to the announcement, with some saying they were sickened by the idea of the smoothie. 'I fear these are the end times,' one critic quipped beneath an Instagram post from Complex describing the drink. 3 The smoothie will be available for $5.70 for a limited time at select Smoothie King locations. Heinz 'I want everyone involved in handcuffs,' another stated. 'This has to be one of the dirtiest things I've ever seen in my entire existence as a human being on this planet we call earth,' a third detractor declared. 'Anyone who consumes this JAIL.' Others insisted it must have been an April Fools' prank being played in August. 3 The smoothie combines açai sorbet, strawberries, raspberries, apple juice and Heinz's signature ketchup. Heinz But the drink is no joke. The smoothie will be available for $5.70 for a limited time while supplies last at select Smoothie King locations across five markets: Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Miami, and parts of the Greater New York area and Northern New Jersey. Lori Primavera, Vice President of R&D and Product Marketing at Smoothie King, said that the smoothie is a result of months of 'meticulous' research and development, testing, and tasting. 'We landed on a savory-sweet blend that celebrates the tomato in all its glory,' she shared. While many were grossed out by the prospect of the drink, others were eager to try it out. 'I require this expeditiously,' one enthused on the Heinz Instagram account. 'The moment I've been waiting for,' a second chimed in. Both Heinz and Smoothie King are highlighting their commitment to nutrition and ingredient quality as a focus of the collaboration. 3 The smoothie is a sweet-tart drink with a bright, tangy ketchup finish. Heinz 'As always, our commitment to nutritious ingredients and our Clean Blends promise remain at the heart of every recipe—and this bold new blend is no exception,' Primavera said, underscoring Smoothie King's commitment to their 'No No List' of 75+ ingredients banned from their smoothies. Similarly, Heinz employs seven 'tomato masters' — the world's top ketchup experts — to make sure the tomatoes are of high quality. Those tomatoes are then bottled into Heinz Simply Ketchup, which is made with just seven 'real' ingredients and no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives.
