Coca-Cola Increases Dividends for 64 Consecutive Years

The Coca-Cola Company extended its streak as a Dividend King, marking 64 consecutive years of increasing shareholder dividends. The company's board of directors raised the quarterly payout by 4% to $0.53 per share earlier in 2026.

Based on the September 22 closing price, the company's dividend yield stands at 2.4%, which is more than double the 1% yield of the S&P 500 index. This payout is supported by a strong financial position, with the company reporting $6.9 billion in free cash flow for the first half of the year compared to $4.6 billion in dividends paid.
