Coca Cola Co's dividend schedule
Coca Cola Co has paid quarterly across the 64 years of records we hold, with the most recent ex-date on June 15, 2026. Its ex-dates usually land in the middle of the month.
Payment follows the ex-date by about 18 days, based on the announcements we hold for KO.
Increases have a season: of the 14 raises in our record, most take effect with the March payment, so that is the ex-date to watch for a change in the amount. The most recent was 3.9%, effective with the March 2026 ex-date.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own KO 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.
