Hovering at just $9.97 per share at 3.30pm this afternoon, shares of Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd (ASX: CCL) were up a firm 1.6% in afternoon trade today, ahead of the company's full-year results announcement tomorrow.

Having not been above the psychological – but otherwise unimportant – figure of $10 per share since April 2014, CCA shares are, in my opinion, a good buy for value investors.

Provided management can deliver on its promises of cost cutting and achieve decent results in Indonesia then the company could return to sustainable earnings per share growth.

If CCA can achieve earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of anywhere greater than $316 million (as it said it would in a market update in December 2014) in the second half of financial year 2014 (or over $632 million for the full year), the stock probably won't last long under $10 per share.

This isn't me instructing you to trade the stock (I believe share trading is an express service to the poor house), but to read through tomorrow's results and consider it for its long-term dividend and capital gains potential.

According to my discounted cash flow analysis, at today's prices, investors have a great margin of safety under even the most conservative estimates of growth.

With a 4.1% partially franked dividend to boot, watch this space for tomorrow's results.

An even better dividend idea than Coca-Cola Amatil…
