What follows are Warren Buffett’s highest-yielding dividend stocks according to his latest 13F filing.

Jefferies Financial Group (JEF): The investment bank is able to growth because of its capital markets business even as M&A remains weak. Coca-Cola (KO): The beverage giant has been a long-time holding of Buffett and has paid a dividend for even longer.
