These 2 Dividend Kings Just Declared Dividend Raises
2026-02-27 19:10:00 ET
Every quarterly earnings season seems to include at least a few dividend raises, as companies report their earnings and the more successful among them devote slightly more coin to shareholder remuneration.
Among the more prominent hikes announced during the first three months of 2026 (covering the last quarter of 2025) are those from a pair of ultra-famous corporate names. These two companies are not only well-known and admired, but they're also Dividend Kings -- the tiny clutch of stocks that have declared dividend raises annually for at least 50 years running. So let's briefly shine a spotlight on the boosts recently announced by Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) .
Coca-Cola's dividend raise streak is older than many of its investors. In mid-February, it announced its 64th(!) straight year of increases, with a nearly 4% boost to its quarterly payout to $0.53 per common share.
