  • Half Of This Company Is Doing Great

    By Chad Henage - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, PEP

    I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but I was not as impressed with PepsiCo's (NYSE: PEP) recent earnings as apparently the market was. With the stock up 5.6% from its price before earnings, it makes sense to examine what makes this company worth an extra $6 billion in market capitalization. I hate to say it Pepsi fans, but there are three issues that Pepsi still hasn't more »

  • Will Water Wash Away Coca-Cola’s Potential?

    By William Bias - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, NSRGY, PEP

    The newsletter Beverage Digest recently released its annual report of market share positioning among the global beverage companies in the United States. Its findings show the continued decline of carbonated sodas and a sustained increase in healthier beverages such as bottled water and energy drinks. This begs the question: Will beverage giant Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) lose its dominance in the beverage industry due to a rise in consumption of commoditized more »

  • 3 Cheap Alternatives to Run-Up Stalwart Stocks

    By Joseph Harry - April 20, 2013 | Tickers: DRI, DPS, KSS

    After a nice pop in earnings-related share price, I’ve become a little more cautious when considering adding to my position in Coca-Cola, which is now trading well over 20 times earnings. It got me thinking about similar alternatives to compliment my already established stalwart stock—specifically smaller companies that may be poised for more growth. Then I got to researching a couple other sectors for the same reason as more »

  • Coca Cola Keeps The Street Happy

    By Alexander Cho - April 17, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, PEP

    Coca Cola’s earning results beat analyst estimates by a fairly narrow margin. Coca Cola saw a decline in revenues by 1%, but the cost of goods sold also declined by 1%, which helped to off-set the losses in net-income. The diluted earnings per share figure declined by 13%, despite the decline in year-over-year performance the company was still able to beat analyst estimates.

  • An Ice Cold Glass of Winners

    By Ash Anderson - April 6, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, SODA

    It’s liquid, it tastes good, and half of the U.S. population drinks it every day. Not enough clues for you? How about I tell you that it’s not water, and it’s not milk, but that it goes by a variety of names. That’s right, soda! Or pop, or soda pop, or a fizzy drink, it’s all the same.

  • The Fizziest in the Losing Soda Industry

    By Roberto Bañaga - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, PEP

    The consumption of fizzy soft drinks, falling in America since 2005, declined in 2012 to its lowest level in 18 years. According to an annual report by Beverage Digest, a respected trade publication, the falling consumption of fizzy soft drinks had a negative impact on soft drink sales.

  • 3 Reasons This Company May Continue Missing Estimates

    By Chad Henage - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, PEP

    It drives me crazy to see a company missing an obvious opportunity. This is exactly what's happening with Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST). For a while, Monster had the chance to establish itself as a premier name in the beverage industry. With case sales up 20% or more, and earnings following suit, Monster looked like a good opportunity. However, in the last several quarters, Monster's management seems to have more »

  • Soda Consumption Hits 16 Year Low

    By Tyler Wofford - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, PEP

    According to Beverage Digest, soda consumption fell 1.2% last year, making 2012 the eighth consecutive annual decrease. In fact, consumption per capita fell to levels not seen since 1987. How is it that this $77 billion industry continues to make money? Well, it's opposite of what we were taught in our economics classes.

    Anyone taking an economics class has likely learned about the process of "supply and demand more »

  • Americans Drink More Energy Drinks and Less Soda, But Stocks Don't Follow

    By Erin McBride - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, PEP

    Mayor Bloomberg could have saved himself, and New York City, a lot of trouble over sugary, carbonated beverages. According to a recent report by Beverage Digest, “fizzy soda” sales declined for the third consecutive year in 2012.

    Overall, bottled beverage sales rose 1% in 2012. However, carbonated soft drink/fizzy soda/pop/soda sales declined 1.2%, to 9.17 billion cases, or from 13.6 billion gallons in 2011 more »

  • Coco Cola: a Sweet and Sugary Stock

    By Muhammad Bazil - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, PEP

    The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) is a world renowned soft drink producer. With famous brands under their belt such as Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta and PowerAde, this company is certainly popular. However, so too are two of their main competitors, Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (NYSE: DPS) and PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP).

    PepsiCo currently own a company called Frito-Lay who is a major salty snack producer, currently holding 60% of more »

  • This Beverage Company Is A Perfect Example Of A Solid Long-Term Investment

    By Matthew Frankel - March 19, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, PEP

    When I talk to my investing friends, most of whom are 30-something professionals, we like to swap our latest picks. Invariably, most of what I hear about is the latest speculative names, such as how an investment in Hemp, Inc. is going to put my grandkids through college . Even the more “conservative” of the bunch will say things like “Google is going to $1000 this year! I’m putting half more »

    By William Bias - March 18, 2013 | Tickers: BODY, DPS, LOW, SODA, TGT

    A CEO with a good management team can take a languishing company and turn it into a growth machine in a position of market leadership with the capability of making shareholders rich in the process. However, some of these turnaround situations provide a great deal of extra risk stemming from the possibility of these grand plans not working out. The five companies presented below are headed by management teams looking more »

  • Soda’s Underdog Looks Undervalued

    By Daniel James - March 11, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, PEP

    When people speak of the Soda Wars, as many rightly do in the internet investment community and beyond, they are generally referring to PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) and Coca Cola (NYSE: KO), the world’s soft drink heavyweights that together control the lion share of carbonated beverages sold worldwide. Dr. Pepper (NYSE: DPS), on the other hand, is usually relegated to the sidelines, the consumption of their flagship product left to more »

  • Soda's Pains Are These Industries' Gains

    By Adam Levy - March 6, 2013 | Tickers: DPS, MNST, PEP, SODA, SBUX

    Americans aren’t drinking soda like they used to. Health concerns have them looking for less sugary alternatives and new emerging markets continue to disrupt sales. Additionally, Americans face an increasing number of disincentives when it comes to soda purchases including soda-tax proposals and a downright ban on super-sized soft drinks in certain cities.

    As a result, soda sales volume has declined precipitously in the United States over the last more »

  • Where To Invest: Coke, Pepsi or Dr Pepper?

    By Rupert Hargreaves - March 6, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, PEP

    Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) has been responsible for producing some of the best returns for shareholders in the market over the past 100 years, but will the company continue to do so? Could it be time to consider investing in another beverage company?

    Well, Coke's closest competitor is obviously PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), followed by Dr Pepper Snapple (NYSE: DPS). Both Dr Pepper and Pepsi have always been thought of as more »

  • What Does Aujan Coca-Cola Taste Like?

    By Renia Bula - March 5, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, PEP

    With 1.8 billion servings of Coca-Cola products made daily and a brand recognized as the most valuable in the world, observers of the beverage industry may want to know what good it would do a global firm to expand further in emerging markets such as the Middle East.

    The question is relevant amid reports on Feb. 26, 2013, that Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and the Aujan Group Holding will create more »

  • 4 Worries No One's Talking About

    By Chad Henage - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, PEP

    I've watched PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) for years, and several times the stock looked like a good value and I almost bought shares. However, for all the positives that I could find, there always seemed to be an issue under the surface. Unfortunately that is the case again with PepsiCo's recent earnings. There are at least four big worries that I see, but I haven't heard anyone else bring them up.

  • Still The King, At Least For Now

    By Chad Henage - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, PEP, SODA

    It's hard to bet against a company as good as Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO). I'm not suggesting the stock is cheap, because it isn't, but the company's results speak for themselves. Among the traditional beverage makers, Coca-Cola stands head and shoulders above the rest. However, if you look outside of the traditional competitors, there is a threat lurking.
