Coca-Cola increased its quarterly dividend in February 2026 from $0.51 to $0.53, marking the 64th consecutive raise. The streak secures the company’s place in dividend indices and would force sales by funds if it were to end. For German investors, the W-8BEN form cuts the US withholding tax from 30 to 15 percent; otherwise the full withholding plus currency risk significantly reduces net returns. » Mais em finanzen.net

Coca-Cola again raised its quarterly dividend in February 2026, extending a 64-year streak of increases that makes the company a fixture in dividend indices. Such long-term streaks are important for funds, since a break can force them into sales. For German investors, however, US withholding tax (30% or 15% with a W-8BEN) and currency risks reduce the net return. » Mais em finanzen.net

Coca-Cola generated $7.4B in operating cash flow in FY2025 versus $8.8B in dividends, creating a structural coverage shortfall tied to transfer-pricing and bottler-refranchising effects. Exxon produced $52B in operating cash flow against $17.2B in dividends in FY2025, but its combined capex and buybacks can exceed cash flow, making buybacks the flexible lever to protect the dividend.
