Coca-Cola Stock Edges Near Record High Amid Regulatory Scrutiny
Coca-Cola stock has been trading near record highs in late August 2026, buoyed by double-digit gains over the past year and a steady dividend profile that appeals to income-focused investors. As of August 23, 2026, shares were around $90.99 on the New York Stock Exchange, just below an all-time high of $91.87 set in August 2026.
The stock closed at $91.10 on August 21, 2026, one day after touching an all-time high of $91.87, underscoring a strong upwards move over the summer of 2026. Market data from that session put Coca-Cola's market capitalization at $391.94 billion, highlighting its status as one of the largest global consumer staples businesses by equity value.
Investors have also focused on Coca-Cola's income profile, with a current quarterly dividend standing at $0.53 per share, translating into an annualized payout of $2.12 per share. This payout supports an attractive yield when combined with the recent share price in the low $90s.
