That's why the company became the dividend king. Here's why Warren Buffett loves him so much.
Known for its soda, Coca-Cola owns four of the world's five best-selling brands, and also sells it, including water, juice, and plant-based beverages.
It generates ample free cash flow through the sale of beverages to consumers and outdoor venues such as gyms.
Despite the closures during the pandemic, Coca-Cola's free cash flow was $8.7 billion, even in tough years. This allowed the company to comfortably pay dividends of $7 billion, and in the first half of this year, the company's free cash flow exceeded $5 billion.
All these indicate that it is a company that generates stable cash and rewards its shareholders with high dividends.
