The Coca-Cola Company (KO) continues to show strengths in the competitive beverage industry, with a strong focus on 0-calorie drinks, which demonstrates explosive growth potential. While several experts indicate that the stock is currently consolidating around resistance levels, they also note a generally positive underlying trend characterized by higher lows. The company's unmatched global reach and solid pricing power, combined with steady demand in key markets, enhance its appeal as an investment. Despite a forward PE that suggests it's trading at a premium, analysts point towards healthy revenue growth and resilient margins. However, the evolving landscape of consumer brands poses challenges, as new entrants can quickly disrupt traditional brands, emphasizing the importance of retaining a strong market position.

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

PEP

BUY

A great company that pays a 3.5% dividend. It's down because restaurants are shut down, so once they reopen business will roar back. Reports Wednesday. Coke is too cheap to ignore. It's a recovery play.

HOLD

Consumer staples have lagged. Global, iconic brand. Expanded into coffee market to diversify and expand growth prospects. Disproportionately exposed to soda category, which is facing headwinds. Own it for income, but not growth. Yield is 3.3%.

BUY

CO-N vs. PEP-Q. They are both consumer stables and he likes them because they are falling off maybe 20% from their high. He is more a Coke guy and it is close to EBV+7 at $39 and closed at $42.81. Close to $38-9 he would be a buyer, maybe even at this price. You can do one or the other and still be okay.

TOP PICK

A safer bet is the perennial defensive name, Coca-Cola, Warren Buffett's favourite drink (stock). Since Feb. 19, Coke had declined by roughly 1.2%, while the Nasdaq has sunk 10%. It has met or beat the street in its last four reports. And it pays you a 2.93% dividend based on a 77% payout ratio. Is this a screaming buy? No. The PE has climbed from 22x to over 27x in the past year. However, the world won't stop drinking Coke tomorrow. Maybe boring, but safe.

DON'T BUY

It is considered consumer defensive. We will probably see it bounce a tiny bit and then if it resumed going up it would bump off $50. You want to be selective in owning these. He has lightened up.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It is leveraged to global consumer spending. They continue to boost margins and cut spending. The multiple is very rich as you are paying 20 times for 8 percent growth in earnings. (Analysts’ price target is $57.00)

BUY

1-year outlook A great, great chart, because it break through a long base at $50. This is bullish.

TOP PICK

More defensive play. Dividend Yield of 3.44%. P/E of 22x. $32 billion in revenues. They recently bought a coffee company with a lot of growth. (Analysts’ price target is $49.90)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A consumer staple name that is doing the right thing by downplaying their bread and butter business. They are getting more into sports drinks to diversify. It should trade at a premium. You should buy when it trades down. He has PEP-T right now.

DON'T BUY

Coke differs from the broader staples sector. It’s strong between March and June, so look for it in the second quarter. Seeing a rollover, and a short-term double top. Suggests more downside weakness. Heading for breaking support at $44 and $41. Stay away.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick, June 25, 2018, Up 4%) Disappointing. Expecting more from it, but he'll hold onto it. There's time.

TOP PICK

It's built a nice base. It's so boring, yes, but whenever it reaches these levels in the low-40s, it bounces up. Limited downside, but likely upside. (Analysts' price target: $49.80)

HOLD

Great, solid company, but not going anywhere. The trend is moving away from soft drinks. They've already penetrated the world and face newer soft drinks coming up. Probably see a small dividend increase. Hold it and get your dividend to sleep at night, but there's not enough growth here. Dividend yield of 3.6%.

COMMENT

Prefers this stock to Pepsi (PEP-Q). Has also diversified away from soft drinks. Has divested its bottling business. It collects royalties from that, along with cash from the sale. If he had to pick between them, he would buy Coke.

HOLD

One of the great companies of the world according to Warren Buffet. Volumes are probably going to start to decline as people drift away from carbonated beverages. They still have tremendous profitability in the third world. At 25X earnings, it is discounting a lot of that, and the stock will do well the next time the market falls. Dividend yield of 3.3%.
