Dividend payout ratio: 68.79% of net profits
Recently The Coca-Cola Company has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), The Coca-Cola Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In The Coca-Cola Company's case, that would currently equate to about $1.915 per share.
The Coca-Cola Company's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
The Coca-Cola Company's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have The Coca-Cola Company's shares ever split?
