Wednesday Is Your Last Chance To Buy Coca-Cola Consolidated Before The Dividend Payout

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Coca-Cola Consolidated COKE.

What's Happening

The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 50 cents per share. On Thursday, Coca-Cola Consolidated will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 50 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.

In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own COKE as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 50 cents dividend payout for every share that they own.

According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on August 11, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
