Coca-Cola's Dividend:A Legacy of Yield Amidst Growing ChallengesCoca-Cola's Dividend: A Legacy of Yield Amidst Growing Challenges Introduction: Coca-Cola stands as an enduring icon in the world of dividend stocks, offering investors a rich history of consistently increasing payouts and a dividend yield that surpasses the market average. However, as stagnant free cash flow growth and rising costs cast shadows over its dividend sustainability, the question arises: Is Coca-Cola's dividend still an attractive proposition for prospective shareholders? The Resilience of Coca-Cola's Dividend: Coca-Cola's dividend story is nothing short of remarkable. The company initiated its dividend payments in 1920, and since 1963, it has continuously increased its dividends—a tradition that persists to this day. This unbroken streak has captured the attention of income-oriented investors, including Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. While Buffett entered Coca-Cola stock relatively late in 1988, his investment has transformed into a substantial source of income, generating an impressive 57% yearly return, which continues to grow. For new investors, Coca-Cola offers an annual dividend of $1.84 per share, translating into a respectable 3% dividend yield—roughly double the average cash return of 1.5% seen in the S&P 500. For those seeking a reliable source of growing income, a dividend supported by a globally beloved brand remains an enticing prospect. Reasons for Caution: However, despite the allure of a high yield, there are compelling reasons for caution. Coca-Cola has delivered a slightly negative total return over the past year and has lagged behind the S&P 500's performance over a five-year period. Such underwhelming performance may explain why Warren Buffett's team has not expanded its Coca-Cola holdings since 1994. Moreover, the rising cost of the dividend raises significant concerns. In the first two quarters of 2023, Coca-Cola generated $4 billion in free cash flow. Yet, the dividend payout consumed nearly $2.1 billion in the first quarter alone, indicating that it did not fully cover this expense. In response, Coca-Cola postponed its latest dividend payment to early in the third quarter, a practice employed in previous years. This suggests that the dividend cost has become burdensome for the company. Future Challenges: While Coca-Cola anticipates generating $9.5 billion in free cash flow for the year, covering the expected $8.4 billion in dividend costs, this leaves just over $1 billion for share repurchases or reinvestment in core operations. If challenges persist, the company may need to slow down the rate of dividend increases. If free cash flow lags behind the growing dividend, it could strain the company's financials. Conclusion: Investors should not solely rely on Coca-Cola's dividend in the current environment. While the cessation of dividend increases remains unlikely, Coca-Cola's total return has trailed market indexes. With the potential to earn higher returns on certificates of deposit (CDs) while taking on less risk, the appeal of Coca-Cola's dividend has dimmed. Long-time investors like Warren Buffett have enjoyed significant capital gains from their Coca-Cola investments, and the attractive dividend yield provides no reason for them to divest. However, considering Buffett's restrained approach to adding more shares for nearly three decades, both prospective investors and existing shareholders would be wise to heed his example and exercise caution in the current climate.

$KO - A Year Apex ! -Looking at NYSE:KO from Pandemic we can see a triangle being formed by Support trendline with Resistance trendline coming from ATH. Triangle's Apex can push as far as 324 Days to play out. Even if it takes a shorter time-span, must be noted that price would still be trading within a Range 58$-64$. I know Warren Buffet is not as much scared of this, as his Dividends from NYSE:KO pay his time out like many other buys on his portfolio. However, his wealth can not buy back any second of his time, so every blessing has a hidden message and trial inside it.

KO a dividend king a top holding of Buffett LONGOn the 1H chart, KO is well positioned having bounced up from the dynamic support of the deviation line under the mean VWAP and now approaching the POC line of the volume profile over the past month. the dual time frame RS indicator shows lines in the mid-range between oversold and overbought. I believe KO will cycle up towards the dynamic resistance of the upper VWAP lines. I will take a long trade here targeting first 62.25 just below the first upper line for 60% of the trade and then 63.15 for the remaining 405 of the trade. The limit entry by buy stop at 60.1 while the stop loss is under the POC line @ 60.85 the stop loss minimal magnitude sets up a very good risk to reward ratio. I will take several call options as well. Leave a comment if you would like to know those details. While much of the market is sideways or maybe looking to drop, i see KO as diversified and global in its business insulated from currency fluctuations and a consumer staple and so a solid fortress from the chaos now available on a relative bargain sale in keeping with the philosphies of Warren Buffett.

Coca Cola May Have Lost its PopCoca Cola has done little so far this year, but some traders may see potential for movement to the downside in coming weeks. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since the last quarterly report on July 26. KO has recently tried to hold roughly $60.50, which has produced a descending triangle. That’s potentially bearish. Second, MACD has been steadily falling at the same time. Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “death cross” below the 200-day SMA in late July. The stock also made a lower high in July versus April. That’s the opposite of the S&P 500, potentially showing a lack of relative strength versus the broader market. Now let’s take a longer-term view with the weekly chart. KO made an all-time high over a year ago with limited follow-through. Also notice the double-top at the peaks of December and April. Average True Range has narrowed as well, which could mean prices are preparing for a bigger move. Finally, consumer staples have lagged as interest rates increase and the economy remains strong.

COCACOLA 2 scenariosWe have 2 scenarios for KO stock. If the horizontal support holds, we expect the price to bounce hard and reach the target for longs shown on the chart. The price may also go a bit higher and retest the downsloping resistance of the descending triangle which would be a final target for longs now. If the horizontal support fails , we may see lower prices. We have several targets for shorts but the final target would be around 50 $. If you want to short, wait for a breakdown with the volume surge in order to avoid the false breakout. If you want to long, buy at the upsloping support. Entry , target and stop loss are shown on the chart Good luck

Building a Solid Foundation for Passive Income: Coca-ColaInvesting for financial independence through passive income is a popular goal among many investors. One reliable strategy is to build a portfolio of dividend growth stocks that can provide a steady income stream to cover monthly expenses and keep up with inflation. Coca-Cola, a well-established Dividend King with an impressive track record of 61 consecutive years of dividend payouts, stands as a prime example of a dependable dividend growth stock. Coca-Cola's strength lies in its diverse portfolio of over 200 brands, catering to a wide range of taste preferences. With a global presence, these products are accessible to consumers worldwide, making it likely that there's a beverage for everyone. From classic carbonated soft drinks to a variety of juices, dairy, and plant-based alternatives, water, and sports drinks, Coca-Cola's renowned brands like Coca-Cola, Smartwater, Simply, Powerade, Costa Coffee, Dasani, Fairlife, Gold Peak, and Schweppes continue to delight customers with a diverse and refreshing array of choices. In the second quarter of the year, Coca-Cola demonstrated robust financial performance, with net revenue increasing by an impressive 5.7% compared to the previous year, reaching a total of $12 billion. This growth was driven by a favorable sales mix, strong expansion in away-from-home channels, and price increases passed on to consumers. The company's continuous innovation and adaptation to changing consumer preferences have allowed it to maintain its position as a leading player in the beverage industry. Despite its global presence and widespread popularity, Coca-Cola faced challenges that impacted net revenue growth in the second quarter. The strength of the U.S. dollar and the refranchising of bottling operations in certain regions had an unfavorable impact on the company's top line. However, Coca-Cola's resilience and adaptability enabled it to achieve mid-single-digit net revenue growth despite these external factors. During the same period, Coca-Cola reported non-GAAP (adjusted) diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.78, a significant 11.4% increase compared to the previous year. This growth can be attributed to the company's higher net revenue base and effective expense management. Additionally, Coca-Cola's share buybacks contributed to a reduction in its outstanding share count, supporting the growth of adjusted diluted EPS. Looking ahead, Coca-Cola's commitment to innovation and new product development positions it favorably to capture a larger market share in the growing ready-to-drink beverage market. Analysts are optimistic about the company's prospects, projecting a solid 6.2% annual growth in adjusted diluted EPS over the next five years. For income-oriented investors seeking consistent returns, Coca-Cola offers an attractive dividend yield of 3%, higher than the S&P 500 index's average of 1.5%. Moreover, the company's commitment to dividend growth is promising, with projected annual increases ranging from 5% to 6% in the coming years. Coca-Cola's prudent dividend payout ratio of approximately 56% indicates that the company retains sufficient capital for strategic initiatives, such as product launches, share repurchases, balance sheet improvements, and continued dividend growth. Despite a modest decline in share prices year to date, Coca-Cola's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio remains relatively attractive at 22.2, just slightly below the non-alcoholic beverages industry average forward P/E ratio of 22.4. This makes Coca-Cola an appealing long-term buy for income investors seeking to combat the impact of inflation on their investment portfolios. In conclusion, Coca-Cola presents a compelling opportunity for income-focused investors looking to build a resilient and income-generating foundation for their investment portfolios. With its solid dividend yield, consistent dividend growth prospects, and reasonable valuation, Coca-Cola remains a viable option for those seeking consistent income growth and aiming to achieve financial independence through passive income.

Coca-Cola Company (‘KO’) have made some gains Shares in Coca-Cola Company (The), (‘KO’) have made some gains in the first half of the second quarter with a top gains of around 10% before incurring losses and currently sitting at a minor profit of around 3%. The company is expected to report earnings for the quarter ending June 2023, on Friday 26th of July before market open. The consensus EPS is $0,71 compared to $0,70 in the same quarter last year. Antreas Themistokleous at Exness: “ The company's financial image is not exciting nor dangerous. The current ratio is at 115% while the total assets outweigh the total liabilities with just over 1,5 : 1 as of 31/12/2022. On the other hand the company has been consistently paying out relatively good dividend yields of over 3% making the share of the beverage giant appealing to investors and pushing the price to the upside over the years. ” On the technical analysis side the price has been performing well in the last 5-6 sessions on the daily chart and subsequently pushing the Stochastic oscillator to the extreme overbought levels. The 50 day simple moving average has crossed the slower 100 day SMA possibly indicating that the recent bearish candlesticks might continue to appear in the near short term outlook. All in all the levels of $60,40 and $61,20 are the technical support and resistance areas since they are the 23.6% and 38.2% of the daily Fibonacci retracement levels. The resistance area of the Fibonacci is also around the area of the 50 & 100 SMAs making it a very strong levels of possible price reaction.

KO trending up LONGKO as a long standing Buffet holding- is a slow mover with a decent dividend. For stock and especially options traders like myself, it is now well positioned for a long trade. KO's recent pivot highs were early to mid May with the highest trading volume at $64 according to the interval volume profile. KO descended mid-May into June 1st and then had a Fib. retracement and reversal. On the 2H chart, KO price has risen ifrom the bottom of the high volume area of the overall while the RSI / MTF ( Chris Moody) shows relative strengths in the range of 50-70 with the one hour TF RSI higher than the 4H TF RSI as a sign of bullish momentum. The triple indicator shows money flow and price momentum both with bullish signals. The Lorentzian AI indicator with machine learning printed a buy signal on July 12th The have added to the chart two VWAP sets of bands anchored about May 1st and June 1st. Price is in a VWAP band breakout moving from between the second negative deviation lines in red and the first negative deviation lines in blue to the current position between the first negative deviation blue lines and the black mean aVWAP lines I see this as a classical opportunity to buy low and sell high. Trade specifics are a stop loss of 60.15 at the first negative deviation bands while the targets are one third of the position at 61.6 ( mean aVWAPs) another third at 63.0 ( first deviation band above aVWAPs) and the final third at 64.4 ( the second upper deviation band ) I will raise the stop loss to break even upon price reaching 61 and in doing so, the trade becomes risk-free. I will devote 3 % of the account to this trade and may opt to take a call options trade as well striking $163 with a DTE of 9-10. I will select an entry buy zooming into onto the 5-15 minute time frame. Profits from a low risk trade like this will be re-deployed into others a bit riskier as a means of stratifying and rebalancing risk and its managment.

Coca-Cola's Beverage Empire: From Schweppes to SmartwaterCoca-Cola, a well-known and popular beverage, has established a strong presence in the fast-food industry and has become a household name. However, it's important to recognize that The Coca-Cola Company offers more than just its flagship cola. In fact, the company boasts a beverage portfolio of over 200 brands, which holds substantial value and should not be overlooked. While the Coca-Cola brand itself is undoubtedly the most famous, the company previously had a portfolio of 400 brands before undergoing a restructuring process in response to the challenges posed by the pandemic. As a result, the number of brands was reduced to 200, with smaller, local brands that were not contributing significantly to the business being eliminated. These brands accounted for only 2% of volume and 1% of the top line. The new streamlined brand portfolio allows the company to focus on core brands and invest in new products that have the potential to make a substantial contribution. CEO James Quincey revealed during a conference call that The Coca-Cola Company now has an impressive lineup of 26 $1 billion brands, collectively contributing to over half of the company's total revenue. While specific brands achieving $1 billion in annual sales were not mentioned, some well-known brands under Coca-Cola's ownership include Schweppes, Minute Maid, and Costa Coffee. Additionally, lesser-known brands like fairlife and Smartwater have also reached the $1 billion mark. Coca-Cola strategically diversifies its offerings across various drink categories, ensuring a diverse portfolio. This approach allows the company to hedge its position and take advantage of opportunities presented by different types of beverages. Despite the closure of 200 brands as part of the restructuring, The Coca-Cola Company remains committed to introducing new products and fostering brand innovation. The company has a reliable global distribution system that facilitates seamless integration of acquired companies and their products, enabling rapid scaling and surpassing the pace they could achieve independently. Innovation has been a significant driver of Coca-Cola's growth, contributing to 25% of gross profit growth in 2023. The company leverages procurement efficiencies, resulting in substantial cost savings of $1.8 billion over the past five years. Successful new brands like Costa Coffee and Topo Chico Hard Seltzer have expanded their presence in multiple markets, further fueling Coca-Cola's growth. With its extensive brand portfolio and ongoing innovations, Coca-Cola has access to nearly limitless expansion possibilities. The company envisions a $1.3 trillion opportunity, with a significant portion lying within emerging categories. As a beverage company, Coca-Cola is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this vast opportunity.
