Coca-Cola share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 65.02% of net profits
Recently Coca-Cola has paid out, on average, around 65.02% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.42% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Coca-Cola shareholders could enjoy a 2.42% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Coca-Cola's case, that would currently equate to about 2.08 per share.
Coca-Cola'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.
Coca-Cola's most recent dividend payout was on 1 October 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 September 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Coca-Cola's shares ever split?
Coca-Cola's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 13 August 2012. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Coca-Cola shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Coca-Cola shares which in turn could have impacted Coca-Cola's share price.
