Coca-Cola FEMSA Raises Quarterly Dividend 3.5%

Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: KOF) raised its quarterly dividend to 1.125 per share from 1.087, an increase of 3.5%. The shares traded ex-dividend on July 13, 2026.

The increase gives the beverage bottler one consecutive year of dividend growth following a cut in 2024. Its dividend safety score stands at 58 out of 100, equivalent to a C grade. That assessment indicates a middling safety profile rather than an uninterrupted record of distribution growth.

Coca-Cola FEMSA is the world’s largest Coca-Cola franchise bottler by sales volume. It produces and distributes beverages from The Coca-Cola Company’s portfolio across a broad Latin American footprint, serving more than 268 million consumers through more than 2.1 million points of sale, according to the company’s latest regulatory filing.

Operating backdrop

The dividend action comes as Coca-Cola FEMSA continues to report growth in its core business. For the second quarter of 2026, the company said total revenue increased 4.7%, operating income rose 9.1% and adjusted EBITDA advanced 12.1% on a reported basis. Management said its priorities for the second half included adapting to the consumer environment, accelerating digital transformation and using revenue-growth-management capabilities.

Those operating results provide context for the distribution but should not be interpreted as a stated reason for the increase. Coca-Cola FEMSA’s shareholders separately approved the declaration and payment of dividends corresponding to fiscal 2025 at the company’s annual meeting. SEC shareholder-meeting filing

What it means for income investors

The reported annual dividend is 4.24 per share, while the forward annual yield is 3.78%. The referenced share price is 114.87. The higher quarterly rate modestly increases prospective income, but the recent 2024 cut and C safety grade remain relevant when evaluating the stability of future payments.

Investors purchasing shares on or after the July 13 ex-dividend date are not entitled to the associated distribution. The increase restarts a growth record that remains short compared with companies maintaining multi-year dividend-raising streaks.
