Payout Ratio?

Hey guys all over the net I see people advising that coke is a stock to hold forever but I see their payout Ratio is over 99% which is crazy high right? Doesn’t this mean that future dividend growth is nonexistent? Same with Qualcomm which is over 151% which is confusing. My research tells me anything between 20-70% is good.

Thanks a lot for that mate. I thought that closer to 100% was bad. I didn’t realise a company could lower the payout Ratio %. What can they do to lower the %?

Hi Louis. Sure dividend does analysis on all of the US Dividend Aristocrats of which Coca Cola is one.
