The record shows a steady annual rhythm. Coca-Cola has raised its dividend once a year, each time with the payment that goes ex-dividend in March. The rate went from $0.42 to $0.44 in 2022, then to $0.46 in 2023, $0.49 in 2024, $0.51 in 2025 and $0.53 in 2026. Most raises were two cents, and the 2024 raise was three cents. That is roughly 3.9% to 6.5% each time. Since late 2021, the quarterly rate has grown about 26%, close to 5% a year. Payments by calendar year rose from $1.76 in 2022 to $2.04 in 2025. The company has now increased its dividend for five consecutive calendar years.
If the pattern holds, the next payment would go ex-dividend around the start of December 2026 and be paid in mid-December. Past raises have appeared later, with the March payment.
