There's no mistake that one of the greatest wealth creators of the last century is The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO). With 20 different beverage brands generating over a billion dollars in annual revenues they are the envy of plenty of companies. Especially when you consider that most of their profits are generated from water, sugar, and flavoring. That's a truly tremendous feat. They also have a vast distribution network which is the strength of their company with access to over 200 different countries around the world. Coca-Cola Company also belongs in the exclusive club of 50+ consecutive years of dividend increases. Shares closed trading on Friday, July 10th at $40.39 giving a current yield of 3.27%.
The following tables/graphs are taken from my personal stock analysis spreadsheet. Data for the stock analysis was sourced from The Coca-Cola Company's investor relations page, Morningstar, and Yahoo Finance.
