Since 1919, Coca-Cola has been a publicly traded company.
Its stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "KO".
One share of stock purchased in 1919 for $40, with all dividends reinvested, would have been worth $9.8 million in 2012, a 10.7% annual increase adjusted for inflation.
A predecessor bank of SunTrust received $100,000 for underwriting Coca-Cola's 1919 public offering; the bank sold that stock for over $2 billion in 2012.
In 1987, Coca-Cola once again became one of the 30 stocks which makes up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which is commonly referenced as a proxy for stock market performance; it had previously been a Dow stock from 1932 to 1935.
Coca-Cola has paid a dividend since 1920 and (as of 2019) has increased it each year for 57 years.
Stock is available from a direct purchase program, through Computershare Trust Company, but unlike many programs, has investment fees.
