Following the technicals of KO

Feature Story

Technical Analysis

The Coca-Cola Company is one of that which needs no introduction. This company is older than literally everyone alive reading this article and that must mean they are doing something right. The reason we are looking into KO is because the stock is sought after for their dividends. KO is known and popular for not having ever decreased their dividends and increase their value every so often. The last dividend amount given out on 6/13/25 was $0.51 a share.

KO is also a stock that stays pretty consistent in price with a slow move upward. It dips when the market dips and when world/political news affect the market but overall it is a pretty reliable stock.

However, I still believe a good buy in plan is always helpful. At the time I’m writing this article (7/9/25) KO is sitting at $70.24 per share. That is just under its all time high of around $73.30 a share. Take a look at the first chart below. Very rarely do I go to the 1 week chart, but for this point, I think it’s necessary. What you are seeing is the past five years on this chart averaging about a 70% gain from July 2020 to July 2025. For a major company that’s pretty solid. That’s also taking into consideration the middle three years where it met hard top of around $65.

Right now, what I’m seeing on the weekly chart is the possibility of a double top, however I think KO is pretty close to extending past that. With a double top, we normally see it dip rather quickly after hitting that resistance level, but KO has been hanging around this spot for a about six months now.

Take a look at the daily chart above. I drew in a resistance line roughly around $72.75. For the next leg up, I’d like to see KO close above here and create the next bullish pattern in that range to feel confident that KO is now in an upward movement. I also drew in two support lines. The first is in the $64.42 range. This line shows multiple spots where it acted as a resistance moving upward over the last few years, because of that I’d hope that it can now be a good support if KO was to move down. Should KO go further, I’d like to see support in the $58 range.

A Final Note

If you are creating a dividend portfolio, KO would be a staple backbone for it. My ideal buy in range would be about 5% below where it is now, however most dividend portfolios are more fundamental than technical. If you are confident in a company, the buy in price shouldn’t necessarily be a big issue as long as you are sure the stock is in a bullish movement. If it’s bearish at the time of looking into it, waiting a week to find a bottom is not the worst idea. No need to FOMO into things like this.
