If I could buy only five stocks in the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) through 2025, I'd pick three high-yield blue-chip dividend stocks and two top tech stocks to balance growth and income. With $186 billion in net assets and a mere 0.04% expense ratio, VTV offers a broad exposure to value stocks, but cherry-picking the best opportunities can enhance your portfolio's performance.


1. Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP) - Dividend Kings for passive income
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are both Dividend Kings, having raised their dividends for 62 and 52 consecutive years, respectively. These beverage giants offer stable yields of 3.1% (KO) and 2.9% (PEP), along with strong dividend growth histories. Despite recent sell-offs, their phenomenal product portfolios and solvable challenges make them excellent buying opportunities for patient investors.

2. Chevron (CVX) - Energy giant with a high yield and dividend growth
Chevron has raised its dividend for 37 consecutive years and yields a whopping 4.3%. Its highly efficient and diversified exploration and production portfolio, along with a sizable refining and marketing business, positions the company well for fairly mediocre oil prices. Even at $50 oil, Chevron can support its dividend and fund a modest capital spending plan.


3. Broadcom (AVGO) - Diversified tech giant with growth and income
Broadcom makes hardware and software solutions for various sectors, including cloud infrastructure, data centers, and networking. With a 114% stock price increase over the past year, AVGO offers a 1.2% yield and a commitment to growing earnings and dividends. Its diversified product offerings and customer base mitigate risks and provide a solid foundation for future growth.

4. Oracle (ORCL) - Cloud computing pioneer with growth and income
Oracle's cloud computing has fueled high-margin sales growth, with a 72% stock price increase over the past year. The company yields 0.9% and has shown a commitment to growing earnings and dividends. Its established foothold in the tech sector and history of dividend growth make it an attractive choice for investors seeking a combination of value and passive income.


By selecting these five stocks, investors can achieve a balance of high-yield blue-chip dividend stocks and top tech stocks for growth. This combination provides a solid foundation for a value-oriented portfolio that can generate consistent income and capital appreciation through 2025 and beyond.
