Yeah declining case volumes and sales and margins is always a good sign…read the tea leaves pal!

Well, since that Communist took over as CEO, the company has increased earnings and raised the dividend. I think you should be slamming them on the PEP board, as that stock has really taken a tumble.

Look no further than the Brit running the company. His own country of origin
now throws people in jail for memes!

KO’s DEI & CRT programs are all Marxists constructs and Quincy gave it up faster than a $20 ho on payday! Their involvement with the election was even more absurd. Like I said previously, if the company doesn’t 180 its policies ASAP they will learn the hard way. No amount of fluffing can change that.

maybe you should go back to just telling everyone how brilliant you are. its a good look for you.

That IS true! It is a good look for me and I am brilliant.
Did you wait two months just to think out that whole post?
So, you are saying a worldwide corporation is going to be worthless due to their political stance in the U.S.? But then you say you kept 500 shares? Well aren't you the lost soul?
I wanna hear more about how Coke is Marxist. Not quite grasping how a profitable company is preaching the word of pure Communism. I guess they have said, they'd like to buy the World a Coke and sing in harmony.

“You sound like one of the guys who quit drinking Bud Lite to send a message to the company, so you changed to Busch Light. Investing should NEVER be personal”

Are you numb Fung or just holed up in a nursing home? In the digital age, everything matters and should Coke remain woke, they will ultimately learn the lesson the hard way. I would agree that historically, Coke has been a very good company to own. that’s why i was invested. Right up to the point where they let the Marxists maniacs in the door to dictate corporate policy. That’s a deal breaker in post election 2024. If management moves to clean house of all the BS political nonsense they have engaged in, then perhaps it warrants another look but i see nothing yet….maybe you should go back to just telling everyone how brilliant you are. its a good look for you.

Might get our little dip to 69 area

Well, I've owned KO for a lot of years and the big swings have always been followed by pullbacks.....The trend is always been up, but rarely with spikes.

Not getting a significant pull back basing higher
Investors want Dividend so I think that there is a huge demand for the stock

I thought we'd see KO making a pullback to $65, but it seems to be rising far faster than its earnings. It seems to have a chart very similar to 3/22, but then Covid hit and it overcorrected. Hope that's not coming again, but what am I missing? Historically, this isn't the time of year when it peaks.

Allah and Satan allowed NO JESUS?
More Outrage needed, this isn't Bud Light -- I was hoping this Social media attack would cause a dip, so far nothing

🔥🚨BREAKING: Coca Cola is facing backlash across America after it was revealed that they won't let you personalize a can with "Jesus" but allows Satan, Allah and all of the Babylonian Gods and demons.

Consolidation is healthy 75 break will come

Hush now!

Please dip 60s for adds

We dipped the last 8 sessions next upswing be break 75

just not sure if we get a deeper dip or this is it first

Maybe that was the perception but kind of a Rig job don't you think?

Hmmmm, does this mean Kamala won it?

Market only down 700 points after the debate

Maybe get a shot at seeing 60s again

That would be great, way more diverse then Pepsi co
I like that product portfolio
much better as a way to de risk semiglutides craze

Been a while since it has split. I'd like to see a 10% special stock dividend.

I would like to see a split after or a Divy increase

Yep Looking great, just a matter of time till we see 100

Looking good. Another all time high and green on a huge red day

KO has a history of leaps and then pulling back a bit. I really should sell off a couple thousand shares, but don't want the tax hit. Although, with politics as they are, I may be paying a whole lot more taxes next year....
I probably should just buy protective puts I guess. I don't think writing calls will solve the tax problem.

KO new 52 week high

Agreed, add on red days

Got to nibble over time Great Company with Divy

KO is an amazing hold for a lifetime, just let it keep turning over, but COKE the bottling company will always be a huge part of profitable stock in my portfolio. COKE will always continue to grow, so I advise to throw a little money into this on the dips if there ever is one.

Please go down

So i can add more

Looks good KO green on a market red day

You’re a genius in your own world

Ummmm, you do realize the stock price is at an all time high, right?
Either you don't understand how investing works, or else you just screwed up big time.
It's up 18% YTD and I now have 8033 shares.

You sound like one of the guys who quit drinking Bud Lite to send a message to the company, so you changed to Busch Light. Investing should NEVER be personal.

The moment coke went woke they lost a large chunk of their investors. I divested all but 500 shares and it was the right move. When they meddled in BS politics they got what they deserved!

Not to jinx it, but KO has had an outstanding last 4 months. I am almost giddy.

66.89 spike it up KO 🚀

KO new 52 week high

65.16 KO 52 week high 🚀

"Yellow 6" caused adrenal tumors in animals, though that is disputed by industry and the FDA. It may be contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals and occasionally causes severe hypersensitivity reactions. Minute Maid lemonade by Coca-Cola in the US contains the artificial food dye Yellow 5.

Stole this from another poster, but good read.

>>> Better Buy: Coca-Cola vs. PepsiCo


Motley Fool

By Stefon Walters

Sep 28, 2023


https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/09/28/better-buy-coca-cola-vs-pepsico/?source=eptyholnk0000202&utm_source=yahoo-host&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article


KEY POINTS

Coca-Cola's higher margins are a testament to its efficiency and pricing power.

PepsiCo's broad portfolio helps hedge against declining demand in the beverage market.

Both have increased their dividend annually for decades -- making them Dividend Kings.


Investors can't go wrong with either choice, but one stands out as the better long-term option.

When it comes to non-alcoholic beverage companies, there's Coca-Cola (KO) and PepsiCo (PEP) -- and then there's everyone else. In the U.S., the two account for around 71% of the carbonated soft drink market. The dominance of that duopoly makes them attractive investment opportunities.

For investors looking to invest in one of these companies, there's no "wrong" option to go with here. However, each company has its own unique strengths and focus areas. Let's see which offers a more compelling case for investors looking to choose one to add to their portfolio.

Coca-Cola's financials seem to be stronger

Coca-Cola is the market leader in non-alcoholic beverages, but one thing that may surprise people is just how much more revenue PepsiCo brings in. In Q2 2023, Coca-Cola made around $12 billion in revenue, more than $10 billion less than PepsiCo made.

Despite the gap in revenue, both companies are similar in net incomes, which is a testament to Coca-Cola's profit margins.

Higher profit margins are important because they give companies more financial flexibility. Higher margins generally come with more cash flow, which companies use for things like research and development, acquisitions, and paying dividends.

Coca-Cola can operate at higher margins largely because of its focus on beverages, operational efficiency, and the pricing power it has thanks to its strong brands. PepsiCo's margins aren't shabby by any means, but its broader business means it has more complexities to deal with, which can lower efficiency.

There's a difference in portfolio diversification

PepsiCo's revenue gap over Coca-Cola can be attributed to its larger portfolio that includes beverages, snacks, and nutrition products. Coca-Cola's portfolio only consists of beverages. Both have iconic brands, including, but not limited to, the following:

Coca-Cola: Coca-Cola, Sprite, Powerade, Dasani, and Minute Maid.

PepsiCo: Pepsi, Gatorade, Lay's, Doritos, and Aquafina.

PepsiCo's vast portfolio can help provide a cushion during times when beverage sales may lag or consumer preferences shift. Coca-Cola dominates the beverage segment, but PepsiCo's diverse portfolio allows it to take advantage of consumer trends across multiple categories.

A good example would be PepsiCo's introduction of products tailored to health-conscious consumers, among them Naked Juice for vegetable and fruit-based smoothies, whole grain breakfast options, and sugar-free, zero-calorie alternatives to traditional sodas.

Both companies have admirable dividends

Regarding dividends, Coca-Cola leads PepsiCo slightly. At their current share prices, Coca-Cola has a 3.2% yield compared to PepsiCo's 2.8%.

Coca-Cola has increased its dividend annually for 61 straight years while PepsiCo has a 50-year streak, so both are Dividend Kings. However, PepsiCo has been increasing its dividend by larger percentages in recent years. PepsiCo has boosted its payouts by 36% in the past five years compared to Coca-Cola's 18%.

Dividend yields fluctuate with stock price, so you don't want yield to be a determining factor in your investment thesis, but it's important nonetheless. Maybe more important, though, is the sustainability of the dividend.

Neither Coca-Cola nor PepsiCo is in danger of needing to cut their dividends, but it's worth noting how much lower Coca-Cola's 56% dividend payout ratio is than PepsiCo's 81%. Coca-Cola's lower payout ratio gives it more flexibility to reinvest in the business or potentially accelerate its dividend increases.

Which should investors go with?

For long-term investors, the better choice now seems to be Coca-Cola. The stock is more expensive, with a price-to-sales ratio of 5.6 compared to PepsiCo's 2.7, but it has the foundation to be a stable and high-yielding stock for the long haul.

Between its top-tier brand equity, impressive margins, and lucrative dividend, Coca-Cola seems to be the more appealing choice for investors looking for reliability and a shareholder-friendly company. It also passes the Warren Buffett test as it is one of his top holdings.

Your PRU didn't work out so well for me. However, finally on the move.

Dang! You keep picking my long term winners. Dig harder! Don't be so lazy.
You've got 23 years of my posts to go through.
Meanwhile, you're hanging on to your penny stock praying someone pays them a nuisance amount to go away.
The more you post, the more I want to respond to you. It's like teaching throwing a ball to a 3 year old.

Go look @ "his" call on RAD, Rite Aid...LOLOLOLOL

Not sure what that means. Are you asking if I've held this long time?

Thanks, are you from here the 1990 sssss

I'm looking at the charts this morning of KO and PEP and they look very similar.
Considering the directions both companies have gone, I'm not really sure, other than a soft drink, that these companies are in the same business any longer.
