Hi All,

It is year end gifting time for clients, anybody has any idea how to find out KO’s price on 2/1/1954? FactSet only goes back to 1972, and my Bloomberg terminal was taken away this year given our low soft dollar allocation.

Thanks!

I would expect Yahoo to have it - but not totally certain. You might try there or, as an alternative, maybe try FRED (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/)

#3

Yahoo! Finance goes back only to 2 Jan 1962. I already checked.

#4

You might try CRSP to see if they can help you. Another option might be to contact the IR group at Coca Cola

#5

BBG HP for that name only goes back to 1968 for me.

#6

contact coca cola investor relations team.

Thanks everybody for the suggestion. I called KO IR and they were no help. Oh well!

When high-tech method fails, low-tech kicks in, I called up my local library and they have various newspaper on microfilm back to 1945. I am trying my luck over there. Thanks!

This will definitely work…

Why gift it?

Why not just die with it and bequest it? Then the heirs get the basis step-up.

#10

BBG only goes back to 1/2/68: $0.6829

Try calling uncle buffet’s berkshire hathaway considering he is a big fan of KO. I am sure they can help you
