The Coca-Cola Company (KO) Dividend History

DivTrkr holds 226 recorded KO dividend payments, running from June 8, 1970 to June 15, 2026 — 57 calendar years. Together those payments total $33.12 per share. KO has most often paid quarterly.

KO has increased its payment rate for 55 consecutive complete years.

Over the last five complete years the KO payment rate compounded at +4.5% a year, and +4.4% a year over the last ten. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.

Across 57 years of recorded history, KO's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.

KO dividends by year

How this growth is measured

Year-over-year growth here compares each year's median payment with the year before, not the calendar-year total. Ex-dividend dates drift, so a quarterly payer can book five ex-dates in one calendar year and four in the next. Comparing raw yearly totals would show a phantom cut of around 25% in a year where the company did nothing but pay slightly earlier. Using the median payment removes that distortion, and also ignores one-off special dividends.

Years marked “timing” booked a different number of payments than KO's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
