Coca-Cola (KO)!

[DividendDragon]

Looking at decent levels today.
A buy past 3% yield for me.

What is everyone else's opinion at present?

I expect them to report earning headwinds (Feb 10th) due to the strong dollar, which could drop the price. I would wait until KO drops to $40 or less (which would also push the dividend rate over 3%), which we may see next month.

For KO, I pretty much use the 3% yield rule, buying more whenever the yield hits that level. I have added to my KO position (my largest overall) a few times this year.

This is when I'll be initiating my position

Anyone looking at KO at this level?
Tempted to buy despite the currency issues (£-$)

Not particularly. Looks pricey relative to last 10 years. I like stuff like DOW + CALM more here.

Of course, I also believe that any dollar you throw at KO at any time is probably not too poorly spent.

My feelings exactly. (Except my short list of more exciting buys is different at the moment!)

Added to my position a couple weeks ago just south of $40. It was at a 3.3% yield give or take, which is a bargain for KO.

Still pretty close to this yield (3.24%), have about a month to get in to get the next dividend payment

Hey guys, quick question about KO if you don't mind, trying to get a better understanding.

When looking on Morningstar, I see two things
1. PSR ratio indicates the stock is overvalued (i'm assuming)
2. P/E TTM is higher compared to others in the industry

With this in mind, what makes KO attractive to a Dividend growth investor? How are you guys going about valuing your companies to decide that KO is a good choice.

Would really appreciate an explanation.
Thanks guys.

1. I don't use PSR at all so I can't comment on that point.

2. PE based on 2015 earnings estimates is only 20.5, which is slightly above the 10 YR normal PE ratio for KO of 19.3.

KO is attractive to dividend growth investors because of its relatively high dividend yield of 3.2%, its AA credit rating, 8-10% annual dividend growth rate and the fact that it has been paying an increasing dividend for the last 52 years.

It is one of the bluest of the blue chips.

KO has a decent dividend and is just a tad above fair value; however, I am more concerned about the forward growth rate. It is rather anemic. I think there are better candidates than KO for now.
