Dear Reader,
Hi, my name is Joel Litman, and today I want to share a fascinating "secret" about Warren Buffett that few people know...
Buffett (the world's greatest investor of all time, whose company has returned 5,000,000%) has gone public stating that in the years to come...
He will instruct his trustees to put 90% of his estate (outside of Berkshire Hathaway) into a single stock investment.
And here's the crazy part...
It's the same stock investment I put most of my money into. It's the same stock my CFA business partner Rob Spivey uses for most of his money as well.
And the same stock investment I've told my friends and family members to buy with the bulk of their money.
In fact, my mom used this stock to make 3,400% gains.
Today, I want to share the details on everything you need to know to take advantage of this opportunity.

3 Big Dividend Plays With Strong Earnings to Back Them
Written by Nathan Reiff. Published 8/11/2025.
Key Points
- Investors select dividend stocks for their stability, but even these companies can demonstrate impressive earnings beats.
- Waste Management, Eversource, and Johnson & Johnson all reported earnings with positive news for the second quarter of 2025.
- By continuing to demonstrate their ability to perform, these companies reaffirm their value to investors as dividends plays.
Long-term dividend plays tend to be more stable than many other stocks—for good reason: their stability enables consistent payouts. Traditional dividend stocks are large, well-established companies that typically move with broad market trends rather than sudden swings.
Even reliable dividend names can unsettle investors if their fundamentals deteriorate to the point of cutting or suspending payouts. To maintain—and ideally grow—dividends, companies must preserve healthy revenue, profits and cash flow. That makes earnings season a crucial checkup, even for steady‐eddy businesses that rarely make headlines.
Below are three favorite dividend payers that delivered strong recent results—an encouraging sign for their distributions.
Earnings Beat, Reduced Expenses, Strong Cash Flow For Waste Management
Waste Management Inc. (NYSE: WM) is a compelling choice for dividend investors, thanks to the essential nature of its waste and recyclables collection services. With hundreds of landfills across North America and a market cap above $92 billion, it's a true industry giant.
Waste Management has increased its dividend for 22 consecutive years, currently yielding 1.43% with a payout ratio just under 49% (source).
In its second-quarter 2025 earnings report, WM beat both EPS and revenue estimates, with revenue up 19% year over year. Improved telematics drove down operating expenses to below 60% of revenue, boosting EBITDA. While WM trimmed full-year revenue guidance slightly ahead of winter, it still expects roughly $3 billion in free cash flow—ample coverage for its dividend.
Earnings Growth—Though Slow—And Rate Increase Boosts Eversource
Eversource Energy (NYSE: ES) attracts income investors with its defensive utility model. It provides electricity, gas and water to millions in the Northeast.
Eversource's 4.56% dividend yield is appealing, but its 129.2% payout ratio—meaning dividends have outpaced income—raises sustainability questions. It has raised its payout only twice in recent years.
In the latest quarter, Eversource modestly grew EPS to $0.96 (vs. $0.95 a year ago), edging out flat‐line forecasts. This slight gain helped reaffirm both its full‐year EPS guidance and a long‐term growth target of up to 7% through 2029.
Revenue rose 12% year over year, just shy of expectations. Still, rising electric demand and a permanent $100 million rate increase in New Hampshire should support stable cash flow and dividends going forward.
All-Around Strong Performance Buoys Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) stands out with 64 straight years of dividend increases, a 3.06% yield and a sustainable 55.6% payout ratio.
In its mid-July earnings report, J&J beat EPS expectations by $0.09 and revenue estimates by nearly $900 million. Its innovative medicine segment—particularly oncology—drove growth, with drug candidate TAR200 for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer poised for up to $5 billion in peak sales.
Meanwhile, Immunology and the cardiovascular arm of its MedTech business also delivered solid results. All signs point to JNJ remaining an excellent long‐term dividend play.
