Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own COKE before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.

- Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. has historically paid quarterly, across 159 payments since February 1987.
- How much does COKE pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.25 per share, with an ex-date of July 24, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.00 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.

- A median of 13 days before the ex-date, across the 56 declarations we hold.
