KO has had 0.5% annual EPS growth over the last 4 years and has seen the payout ratio grow to ~73% of expected 2016 earnings. Growth projected by analysts are for less than 5% going forward. Hard for me to get excited about that performance no matter the price.
Same here. I've noticed that it's at new lows, but I'm just not excited about it anymore. I'll hold it, but I'll take the dividends and put them somewhere that's growing. Right now, NKE and DPS are near their lows and have more upside, I feel.
I continue to hold my KO as well, but can't say I'm all that excited about it. Have been considering swapping it out for MO.
