Will Coca-Cola Raise Its Dividend in 2020?
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) has put together a nearly unparalleled track record of rewarding dividend investors who own its shares. The soft-drink giant has generated huge returns for its long-term shareholders over more than a century, and a considerable portion of those gains have come from the quarterly dividend payments that investors have received over the decades through thick and thin.
In 2019, Coca-Cola celebrated its 57th straight year of higher annual dividend payments. Despite some recent challenges that it's had to address in its fundamental business, Coca-Cola has worked to shore up the threatened parts of its operations while moving forward in new directions to seek growth. Dividend investors hope that those efforts will yield stronger payout gains in 2020 than the modest increase they got in 2019.
