Coca-Cola pays an annualized dividend of $2.12 per share, meaning investors need 4,717 shares to collect $10,000 a year in passive income. The company has raised that payout for 64 straight years, a streak that earns it Dividend King status.
Coca-Cola investors chasing $10,000 in yearly dividend income need to hold 4,717 shares of the stock. That figure comes from the stock's current annualized dividend of $2.12 per share. The payout stems from a quarterly dividend of $0.53. At the current share price, building that position would take more than $414,000.
The company has raised its quarterly dividend for 64 straight years, a track record that makes it a Dividend King, a designation reserved for companies with 50 or more consecutive years of dividend increases. It sells in 200 countries and territories. Worldwide, 2.2 billion servings of its products are consumed every day. That scale supports a wide economic moat, and demand stays steady because it rests on small, repeat purchases rather than big-ticket spending.
Management expects the business to report $12.4 billion in free cash flow in 2026, well above what the dividend requires to stay funded. The stock trades at $87.81, down 0.33% on the day. It carries a market cap of $378 billion. The stock also carries a dividend yield of 2.39%.
