That's a really good point, EricL. For some reason (maybe because I'm a dummy), I didn't think to base my stock screening on expected upcoming dividend increases. I think KO has a 10-year average dividend increase of 9.8%. A 9.8% increase in their current dividend would put the yield at approximately 3.17% at today's share price. Even if they raise the dividend by, say, only 5%, that would still push the yield up to 3% at today's price.
And Morningstar has their forward P/E at 15.9, Yahoo! has it at 17.50, and MSN has it at 15.79.
