Brand strength, pricing power, geographic diversification. Big potential expansion in coffee. Really gets local culture. Chart shows a bit of resistance at this level, and we want to see it get through that. Whole chart is decent. Down less than the market these last few days. Beverage sector is pretty defensive and predictable. Metrics look pretty good. Yield is 2.82%.
(Analysts’ price target is $75.38)Operates in a cola duopoly with PEP. He likes market leaders like these that have little to no direct competition. That being said, it's a lot harder these days with consumer brands to establish a brand and build a moat. Today he could launch a cola company online, using Instagram and FB, with very little cost and effort, and with luck it could even go viral. Brands will have a tough time.
Very strong, well-established brand. He owns FEVR, take a look at that one.
We feel that the consumer staples space is trading at attractive valuations, and for the time being, much of the reason for the decline (ozempic fears), is likely overblown. KO pays a dividend of 3.3% which is slightly above its 20-year average of 3%. Relative to its 20-year historical average valuations, its forward P/E is in line with historical averages, while its EV/EBITDA and forward price to sales are both slightly above historical averages. For an investor with a long-term time horizon, we would be quite comfortable with KO today.
