It's hard to find many chinks in the armor of Coca-Cola 's (NYSE: KO) renowned dividend. The company has raised it for 59 consecutive years, and at current share prices, it delivers a yield of 3%, well above the S&P 500 's average yield of 1.38%.
However, when you compare it as an income investment to a few of its fellow Dividend Aristocrats such as AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) , Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB) , and Chevron (NYSE: CVX) , it fizzles out. Each of them boasts a better yield right now than the beverage giant, and each has a stronger record of payout raises over the past three years. I also see more room for their share prices to grow in the coming year.
