Better Dividend Stock: Coca-Cola vs. Walmart
Investors have some differing expectations around Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and (NYSE: WMT) stocks these days. While the world's largest retailer is among the best performers on the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2023, Coke is sitting near the bottom of that list. Walmart is enjoying strong customer traffic growth and excellent profits as consumers focus more on value. Coke's stock has been pressured, meanwhile, by flat sales volumes in recent months.
Dividend yields move in opposite directions to stock prices, though, meaning Coke is becoming a more compelling option thanks to its falling valuation and rising yield. But should income investors pick the beverage titan over Walmart right now? Let's take a closer look.
At a glance, Coke might seem like the stronger growth stock right now. Organic revenue was up 11% in the most recent quarter while Walmart posted a 6% increase.
