Should you buy Ko shares?
One of the main attractions of investors is still the Coca-Cola profits. For example, in February, the company raised its profits by 5.2 % to $ 2.04 annually per share, which represents the annual increase of 63 in a row.
With 2024 profits per share at $ 2.88 and 2025 arrow profit, up to $ 2.95, the payment rate of 69 % is healthy and sustainable.
In addition to its reliable profits, Coca-Cola provides strong growth capabilities, with the support of the global brand recognition and strong basics. In February, the company expected a growth in organic revenues 2025 from 5 % to 6 % and arrow profit growth from 2 % to 3 %, a more optimistic look than their pepsico, which struggles with weak demand for consumers.
Recently, the results of the first quarter of 2025 have strengthened this confidence. Organic revenue increased by 6 %, as it fell at the top of its expected range, while the arrow’s profitability increased by 1 % on an annual basis despite the counter -wind of the currency by 5 %.
The company again confirmed its directives for the whole year, which indicates steadfastness in the face of uncertainty in the wider market.
With the revenue of profits about 2.8 %, Coca-Cola remains particularly attractive to investors who focus on income, especially retirees.
All in all, for those looking for reliable shares and income generation with global access and long-term stay, remains Coca-Cola convincing today as it was when Buffett was first bought.
