Coca-Cola Company (KO-N) is highly regarded as a defensive stock, evidenced by its 2.77% rise today and 19.5% increase this year, reaching a 52-week high. It remains a preferred choice among consumer staples, with strong performance in the zero-calorie beverage segment. Although currently facing resistance around $72.50, the overall trend appears positive, marked by higher lows and the formation of an ascending triangle. Experts emphasize the company's unmatched global presence, significant pricing power, and resilient margins, predicting continued growth with earnings expected to rise by 7-9% in 2025.

Valuation

PEP

SELL

Have announced some new products, but does not think this will bring growth to the stock. Pepsi is a much better bottler with much better growth potential.

DON'T BUY

Has a great reputation, is a great company and a great brand but they've made a lot of errors along the way with not diversifying out of colas. Pepsi (PEP-N) now has a larger market cap! Would prefer Pepsi.

DON'T BUY

Has not been a fan for many years. Doesn't see any catalyst in the near term to change his mind. Has been losing market share to Pepsico (PEP-N) which he would prefer instead.

DON'T BUY

Prefers and owns Pepsi (PEP-N) which is outgrowing and has just passed Coca-Cola in sales. Like a lot of the US large caps, the multiples are a little bit high. The growth on this one doesn't match the multiples.

DON'T BUY

Pepsi is eating their lunch. A pretty tired brand.

DON'T BUY

Q: What is the potential for them in India? A: They have been in that market for some time already, so you are not going to see additional marginal growth. There are better ways to get exposure on a China/India play.

DON'T BUY

Both Coca-Cola (KO-N) and Pepsi (PEP-N) are trading roughly at the same valuation. Coke has a lot of work to do. Pepsi has better momentum. A big part of their business is the snack food business. On the beverage side they have a better assortment of sports drinks and water franchise. Would Buy Pepsi over Coke at this point.

DON'T BUY

Great brand internationally. However, growth is almost nonexistant. Missed on the power drinks, water, etc. People are not drinking as many soft drinks as before. Would buy Pepsi (PEP-N) instead.

TRADE

Hasn't been an outstanding performer, but hasn't been horrific either. Check shareholder and dividend yield. If they're high, you've got a name brand, one of the bluest of blue chip stocks.

DON'T BUY

Prefers Pepsi (PEP-N) which is in much better shape.

TOP PICK

Feels there will be a rotation to larger caps in the US. Has lagged, but has about 70% exposure to the offshore market.

TOP PICK

Interested in companies that are high quality and have struggled. Attractively priced.

DON'T BUY

Have had problems at the top for the last four years. Losing market share.

BUY

A torpedo stock in that it was in a downtrend and then took a sudden drop. Probably at the end of its long decline.

DON'T BUY

Stumbling badly. Try to get a new CEO. Model price has been deteriorating and is now $33. Earnings have been dropping. Top line growth is very tough for them.
