What the CEO said: What we say:Investment Thesis
An investment in Coca-Cola is an investment in a world-class company with one of the strongest dividend growth track records, though revenue growth has not been impressive over the last five years. Management has focused on its cost-cutting program and continues acquiring non-carbonated drink companies, ensuring future growth. With a rate of, on average, doubling its dividend payment every 10 years, KO is a perfect fit for any core portfolio. The company acquired Costa Coffee a few years ago, after seeing opportunities in the expanding coffee market. KO should also see sales growth from emerging markets and new products such as Coke Energy and AHA flavored sparkling water. KO is highly specialized in marketing, distribution, and beverages. For 2024, KO expects full-year adjusted organic revenue growth of +6% to +7% vs. +5.9% consensusDividend Triangle

Potential Risks
KO’s success also poses a source of concern. As it is now exhibiting such dominance in the carbonated drink industry, the trend toward health-focused food products presents a threat. KO announced the launch of a new Coca-Cola Zero Sugar recipe in the US in this regard. The rise of anti-obesity drugs such as Ozempic is a concern. Many fears that the popularity of this new drug would have a negative impact on soft drink and snack businesses. It is now facing secular headwinds in many markets. Management is obviously looking for alternatives to pursue the company’s growth goals. This leads to acquisitions and competition in dense markets such as coffee and water. As KO earns about 50% of its revenue offshore, the company’s results are subject to currency fluctuations.

Dividend Growth Perspective
Though Coca-Cola went through a challenging period over the past few years, it kept its dividend intact. KO has a solid track record of increasing dividends for more than 50 consecutive years. Several factors play in its favor. Emerging markets still exhibit a low level of product consumption, opening the door to additional growth. KO continues to acquire growing beverage companies and integrates them into its effective distribution network. It generates ample and persistent cash flows. With that in mind, KO should provide an ever-increasing dividend payment. The stock price recently pulled back, and it could be a good time to add this quality player to your portfolio. The company offered a 5% dividend increase in 2022, followed by another 4.5% increase in 2023 and a 5.4% increase in 2024.
