Buffett may be buying AAPL and owning KO or AXP AND they happen to have a dividend. I have never heard him use the dividend as a reason to buy anything.

I think he likes receiving dividends. But he likes buying companies for a good price.

When he bought the Japanese stocks I don’t think he ever said they pay rich dividends as a reason. He thought the companies were too cheap.
