Hush now!

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.

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


Motley Fool

By Stefon Walters

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.

Anyone know the price 1990, how many forward splits, if any

who is "we"?

I don't what you are talking about. a favor how?

Ya know, I was trying to do you a favor.
No good deed goes unpunished.

I actually own some PEP shares as well, but not nearly what I have in KO.
Right now, due to reinvested dividends I have 8110 shares of KO and 137 PEP.

Thanks, I think you are right! coke is the better one than pepsi...always... held coke shares...good dividend

LOL.... Good for you!!!
I do as well. When I ask for a Coke and they ask me "is Pepsi ok?" My answer is NO! No it's not. Pepsi is way too sweet. It's made for kids. Makes me switch to Dr Pepper.
Funny, my father was adamant we drank Coke.
If I'm going to eat pizza, you MUST have Coke with it. Nothing else works.

I own ko because I hate the after taste of pepsi!

ok---will get some

Rum and coke? Yecchhh. The only thing that should be added to rum is pineapple juice and coconut.

only kind to buy is zero sugar...because the RUM has some in it...besides alcohol

Every Garage has a coca cola dispeser

visa accepted

PEP has outperformed KO by a bit, but I still prefer owning KO, and it's my biggest holding I believe.
