Coca-Cola Stock Rises on Raised Guidance and Strong Dividends

The Coca-Cola Company's stock price has risen to USD 89.37 as of mid-September 2026, driven by increased full-year guidance and a robust dividend stream.

According to Yahoo Finance, management now expects comparable EPS growth of 9 to 10 percent for fiscal year 2026, up from its prior outlook. Global volumes rose 5 percent in the second quarter of 2026, with Coca-Cola Zero Sugar up 16 percent, and revenue climbed 6.7 percent year over year to USD 13.38 billion.

The dividend remains a central element of the investment case, with an annualized payout of USD 2.12 per share and a dividend yield of roughly 2.3 to 2.4 percent at a share price near USD 89.
