Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), a beverage company with products sold in more than 200 countries and territories, was featured in this week’s Simply Wall St Journal. The publication covers the 129-year-old global company’s current position and analysts’ suggested recommendations to maintain its reputation for an ever-increasing dividend. “Coca-Cola has established a reputation for returning capital to shareholders in a consistent and increasingly generous manner. This has and will continue to please shareholders, but at the same time it puts an ever-increasing amount of pressure on management to figure out ways of satisfying ingrained investor expectations. So, over the short term, the dividend doesn’t appear to be in any immediate danger since the company has ample cash and global re-openings will likely help earnings and free cash flow tick back up over the next year or two,” the publication reads. “But a company can only get so efficient and, longer term, if the company wants to maintain its policy of increasing its capital returns to shareholders and continue to reinvest in its business, some changes might be in order. It might need to look externally for growth initiatives or make some changes internally, such as more vertical integration or expansion into other businesses (i.e. packaging, etc.), if it wants to continue to satisfy shareholders’ expectations in the years to come.”
