Here's How Much a $10,000 Investment in Coca-Cola Will Get You in Dividends
Key PointsCoca-Cola has raised its dividend for 64 years consecutively.
Coca-Cola, known as the Dividend King, has consistently increased its dividend payouts for 64 years. Although the stock hasn't outperformed the market historically, it performs well during economic downturns. Currently, the stock price is up 40% to $13.10, down from its previous level. With a dividend yield of 2.2%, which is lower than its usual 3%, an investment of $10,000 would buy 106 shares, at $93.90 each.
Coca-Cola distributes a quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share, equating to $2.12 annually per share. Consequently, owning 106 shares would yield $224.72 each year. While this amount may appear modest, it emphasizes the importance of investing earlier in life to ensure sufficient passive income for retirement or other future needs.
Despite the lower yield, Coca-Cola remains dependable for maintaining and increasing its dividends. As part of a diversified portfolio, the company could offer substantial benefits. For further investment guidance, consider The Motley Fool's premium services.
