1 Incredible Dividend Stock to Buy Today
Key Points Coca-Cola's business looks strong enough to handle higher tariffs and other challenges. The company's brand name and adaptability grant it a significant competitive edge. The beverage giant also boasts an exceptional dividend growth track record. 10 stocks we like better than Coca-Cola › There is no shortage of dividend stocks on equity markets. However, they aren't all created equal. Some are likely to decrease or suspend their payouts when the going gets rough. Others haven't raised their dividends for years. Others, still, have very low yields -- while a high yield isn't everything, it can still provide some insight into a company's dividend program. The very best dividend stocks tend to avoid all these shortcomings. And that's why income-seeking investors should seriously consider Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO). The beverage maker doesn't have a particularly exciting business, but it is one of the smartest dividend stocks to buy today. A rock-solid business Coca-Cola has outperformed broader equities this year. One possible reason is that the company appears to have the potential to perform better than most if Trump's trade policies remain in place and are sustained beyond his administration. Trump's aggressive tariffs risk increasing manufacturing costs for corporations. Either they have to deal with heavy duties on imported goods, or they must ship their manufacturing back to the U.S., which is typically more expensive. One might think that would also apply to Coca-Cola, since it is a multinational corporation. Coca-Cola operates in nearly every country worldwide, but its manufacturing is largely localized. The majority of products it makes for U.S. consumers are manufactured in the country. Does that mean the company is entirely immune to tariffs? No, hardly any corporation is, regardless of its business structure. Coca-Cola imports parts and materials from countries abroad, some of which will be subject to tariffs. Still, Coca-Cola looks in a better position than most to handle one of the biggest economic threats Wall Street faces. More generally, Coca-Cola's business is resilient even amid downturns. The company is a leader in the consumer staples sector, an industry renowned for its defensive characteristics. People continue buying its products even when the going gets rough. One reason for this is Coca-Cola's strong brand name, which grants it several advantages, including trust and familiarity with consumers, consistent shelf space in grocery stores, and a degree of pricing power. Coca-Cola also has an adaptable business. Consumers' tastes can and do change. If Coca-Cola's portfolio of beverages had always remained the same, the company might have gone out of business by now. However, thanks to acquisitions and the launch of many new brands, Coca-Cola continues to stay ahead of changing demands and preferences. The company owns brands across virtually every major beverage category, including alcoholic beverages, water, soft drinks, juice, coffee, tea, sports drinks, and more. These factors explain why Coca-Cola has generated consistent revenue, earnings, and cash flow for decades. The company did experience a slowdown in the early days of the pandemic, but it was also able to bounce back from that. That should give investors confidence that, regardless of the challenge it faces, Coca-Cola can find a way to overcome it. An impeccable dividend track record Even before examining Coca-Cola's dividend program, the company's strong underlying operations and ability to perform relatively well, or at least recover, amid economic challenges, suggest that it can maintain its dividend in both good and bad times. The beverage maker's actual dividend track record further reinforces the point. Consider that Coca-Cola is a Dividend King, having raised its payout for 63 consecutive years. This streak is as old as some baby boomers. Some might worry that Coca-Cola can't continue increasing the dividend, given its cash payout ratio of 176% and a payout ratio that approaches 80%. Both look high, but they are not that abnormal for the company when we look at these metrics over the past decade. Coca-Cola has continued to grow its dividend despite that fact. Meanwhile, the company offers a forward yield of 3% is well above the S&P 500's average of 1.3%. Coca-Cola is committed to returning capital to shareholders via increasing payouts. The company's record in that department, coupled with a robust business that is resilient in challenging economic times and a competitive advantage thanks to its brand name, makes the stock a brilliant pick for income seekers.

How Will Bristol Myers Squibb Stock React To Its Upcoming Earnings?
CHONGQING, CHINA - JULY 29: In this photo illustration, a person holds a smartphone displaying the ... More logo of Bristol Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY), a global biopharmaceutical firm focused on oncology, immunology, and cardiovascular diseases, with the company's purple hand-shaped branding visible in the background, on July 29, 2025 in Chongqing, China. (Photo illustration by) Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) is scheduled to release its earnings report on Thursday, July 31, 2025. For event-driven traders, examining historical stock performance around earnings announcements can provide valuable insights. Over the past five years, BMY's one-day stock returns following earnings announcements have been evenly split: While the actual results compared to consensus estimates will significantly influence the stock's immediate reaction, understanding these historical patterns can potentially inform trading strategies. Traders can approach this event in two ways: Current consensus estimates project Bristol Myers Squibb to report earnings of $1.10 per share on sales of $11.38 billion. This is lower than the year-ago quarter's earnings of $2.07 per share on sales of $12.2 billion. From a fundamental perspective, Bristol Myers Squibb currently has a market capitalization of $95 billion. Over the last twelve months, the company generated $48 billion in revenue, achieved $7.9 billion in operating profits, and reported a net income of $5.4 billion. That said, if you seek upside with lower volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio presents an alternative – having outperformed the S&P 500 and generated returns exceeding 91% since its inception.

See earnings reaction history of all stocks Bristol Myers Squibb's Historical Odds Of Positive Post-Earnings Return Some observations on one-day (1D) post-earnings returns: Additional data for observed 5-Day (5D), and 21-Day (21D) returns post earnings are summarized along with the statistics in the table below. BMY 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return Correlation Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns A relatively less risky strategy (though not useful if the correlation is low) is to understand the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns post earnings, find a pair that has the highest correlation, and execute the appropriate trade. For example, if 1D and 5D show the highest correlation, a trader can position themselves "long" for the next 5 days if 1D post-earnings return is positive. Here is some correlation data based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns. BMY Correlation Between 1D, 5D and 21D Historical Returns Is There Any Correlation With Peer Earnings? Sometimes, peer performance can have influence on post-earnings stock reaction. In fact, the pricing-in might begin before the earnings are announced. Here is some historical data on the past post-earnings performance of Bristol Myers Squibb stock compared with the stock performance of peers that reported earnings just before Bristol Myers Squibb. For fair comparison, peer stock returns also represent post-earnings one-day (1D) returns. BMY Correlation With Peer Earnings Learn more about Trefis RV strategy that has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (combination of all 3, the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000), to produce strong returns for investors. Separately, if you want upside with a smoother ride than an individual stock like Bristol Myers Squibb, consider the High Quality portfolio, which has outperformed the S&P, and clocked >91% returns since inception.

Dollar mixed after four-day rally, Fed meeting in focus
By Stefano Rebaudo (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar struggled for direction on Wednesday after a four-day winning streak, as investors shifted their focus to the outcome of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting later in the session and to upcoming economic data. Meanwhile, the euro was poised to record its first monthly drop since December 2024,, following a sharp reaction to a U.S.-European Union trade deal earlier this week. Investors were hesitant to place bets before crucial economic reports and central bank meetings in Canada, Japan and the United States. 'Markets will be paying attention to (Fed Chair) Jerome Powell's remarks, regarding any signs of internal dissent within the committee and the chair's stance amid ongoing tensions with the White House,' said Julien Lafargue, chief market strategist at Barclays Private Bank and Wealth Management. 'A rate cut in September remains a strong base case, much will depend on incoming data, starting with the U.S. jobs report due this Friday,' he added. The U.S. central bank, to President Donald Trump's chagrin, will likely leave interest rates unchanged on Wednesday. The dollar index was up 0.02% at 98.774. It hit a 5-week high at 98.923 on Tuesday and was on course to post its first month of gains this year. Analysts noted the selloff in U.S. assets — including Treasuries and the dollar — began in early April, when the U.S. appeared poised to launch a trade war against its major allies. Trade agreements struck with Japan last week and the EU over the weekend signalled a renewed U.S. commitment to global engagement, easing investor concerns. Investors' focus is now on negotiations between China and the U.S. after officials agreed to seek an extension of their 90-day tariff truce. China and the U.S remain important trade and economic partners, the Chinese commerce minister told a U.S. business delegation on Wednesday, according to his ministry. The euro was down 0.03% to $1.1540 after dropping for the first two days of the week and hitting a one-month low of $1.15185 on Tuesday. The euro is up 11.7% since the start of the year but on course for its first monthly drop in 2025. "The stark divergence in growth news between the U.S. and Europe should underpin the euro bearish momentum," said Francesco Pesole, forex strategist at ING. Data showed on Wednesday that the German economy contracted in the second quarter, while France's economy beat forecasts. Some analysts expressed concern about the economic impact of tariffs and their implications for the European Central Bank's rate outlook. However, markets adjusted their expectations for the ECB's easing path, pushing back the timing of a potential rate cut to March 2026 last week, following the U.S.-Japan trade deal and an ECB hawkish tilt after its policy meeting. 'On a comparative basis, the outcome (of trade negotiations) is welcome, if not wholly reassuring (for the euro area),' said Modupe Adegbembo, economist at Jefferies. 'The EU has successfully avoided escalation and has not lost significant ground relative to other major exporters,' Adegbembo added, noting the 5% baseline tariff is more favourable than the 30% applied to Chinese goods and is on par with Japan's 15%. The yen firmed 0.33% to 147.98 against the dollar. The spotlight will be on comments from BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda as investors hope the recent trade deal between Japan and the U.S. paves the way for the central bank to raise rates. Analysts flagged that a divergence in tone from Ueda this week relative to Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida last week, who was perceived as being hawkish, could be a catalyst for further yen selling over the near-term.
