Here's How Many Shares of This Unstoppable Dividend Stock You'd Need for $10,000 in Yearly Passive Income

It's beating the market by more than triple this year.

To generate $10,000 in passive income through Coca-Cola (KO) dividends, an investor would need to acquire a substantial number of shares. With Coca-Cola's current dividend yield at 2.2%, which translates to $2.12 in annual dividends per share, the investor would require approximately 4,717 shares to reach the desired income level.

This translates to an investment of $452,926 in Coca-Cola stock alone, which is nearly half of $1 million. While Coca-Cola is a Dividend King with an impressive 64 consecutive dividend increases, its stock price currently makes it difficult to achieve $10,000 in annual dividends without a significant investment. Therefore, it is advisable to diversify one's portfolio across various dividend stocks to optimize returns and mitigate risk.
