Coca-Cola (KO) Ex-Dividend Date & Pay Dates

Coca-Cola (KO) pays its dividend every quarter, usually in April, July, October and December. The next payment is on Dec 15, 2026, to shareholders who own KO before the Dec 1, 2026 ex-dividend date.

KO's last 4 regular dividends were paid in April, July, October and December. Companies tend to keep the same months year after year, though the exact dates move by a few days.

As of Nov 8, 2026, the next KO ex-dividend date on record is Dec 1, 2026, with a pay date of Dec 15, 2026. To receive the dividend you must own KO shares before this date.

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for owning a stock in time to receive its next dividend. If you buy KO on or after the ex-dividend date, the seller — not you — receives the upcoming payment. Buy before it and you're entitled to the dividend.

You must own KO before the ex-dividend date — i.e. buy at least one trading day earlier. Since the move to T+1 settlement, the record date and ex-dividend date now fall on the same day, so the ex-date is the deadline that matters.

As of Nov 8, 2026, KO's most recent dividend was $0.5300 per share, paid on a quarterly basis — about $2.12 per share annually, a forward yield of roughly 2.22%.
