First, some discussion on the question itself.
1. Buy to hold for what time period? Forever? 10 years?
No stock can be bought and held forever with impunity. All five of these, except maybe MO, should make it through 10 years.
2. Will the buyer be needing to withdraw money from the investment for living expenses (e.g. a retiree)? If so, that might argue for the higher yielding ones of MO, KO, and ABBV
3. Is the buyer young and intending for the investment to compound and accumulate wealth? If so, that might argue for the higher growth V and GOOGL.
Personally, I won't own tobacco stocks. I'm not criticizing anyone who does, but I just don't want my capital involved in it. So I would strike MO.
Coca-Cola (KO) is a very mature company, with a somewhat above average yield and growth on the lower side of average. It would provide predictability, especially for a retiree. Because of the muted growth, it must be purchased when the valuation is right - it is easy to overpay for this one.
ABBV is one of the better Pharma companies around. However, that business is notoriously volatile and dependent on successes in the drug pipelines, well thought out acquisitions, and timing of loss of exclusivity of sales of blockbuster drugs. It should grow at a pretty good high single digit rate and seems well suited for all but the most aggressive portfolios.
V is one of a handful of companies that own the Point of Sale transaction networking field. There is certainly a risk they could be undermined someday by a different technology, but V management seems like they would stay on top of that.
GOOGL is hot right now, and in the middle of the AI frenzy. Even if AI mania slows, GOOGL has many hot irons in the fire. They are the 3rd largest cloud services provider. The are the largest digital advertising provider through their search business and YouTube. They are the leader (despite what Elon says) in autonomous taxis. They have a presence in the next frontier of computer hardware, quantum computing. This company has a lot of things to like.
My opinion on valuation is that GOOGL is currently undervalued, while the others are fully valued.
I'm a retiree and I own ABBV and GOOGL on this list.
Forced to choose one, I would choose GOOGL. Putting money across all five would create a good, diversified portfolio of five stocks, though, and would in my mind be the better alternative.
Note: I am an amateur, not a professional. These are my opinions, not investment advice.
