    By Mark Morelli - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP

    If you thought a key ingredient used by The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) was obtained only from the coca plant, you may have been barking up the wrong tree.

    Juiced up

    The Atlanta-based company is working out details with growers in Florida and Brazil to purchase oranges from them. Yes, oranges. It will spend about $2 billion in Florida alone over the next 20 years.

  • Why Pepsi Fails the Test

    By Nauman Aly - May 19, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, PEP

    Despite the efforts of First Lady Michelle Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to get kids and adults to lay off the sugary beverages, soda continues to be a solid market for investors, depending on which company you invest in, of course. In the decades-old rivalry between PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) and Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), Pepsi fails the test on many dimensions, some of which you won’t hear more »

  • Is Monster Losing Its Energy?

    By Eshna De - May 17, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP

    Energy drinks maker Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST) seems to have lost some of its growth momentum. Investors have always perceived this company as a fantastic growth proposition and have not been disappointed in the past. Monster has returned around 62.5% in share price appreciation over the last two years while the S&P 500 has only returned around 17.16%.

    Things have been a little quieter of late, however more »

  • Is this Stock Over-Caffeinated?

    By Marshall Hargrave - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP

    Monster (NASDAQ: MNST) is the largest U.S. energy drink maker by sales volume. It also fell farther than any of its competitors in the six months after a poor first quarter and slowing sales in April. First quarter earnings results showed a 17% decline year over year, and missed EPS consensus by 4.9%. Monster is now well off its 52-week high.

    In November, the FDA noted that it more »

  • Troubling Results From Monster Beverage Underscore a Broader Industry Problem

    By Robert Ciura - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP

    One quarter does not make or break a company. Any business, even one that ranks among the world’s best, can deliver a poor quarterly report for a variety of reasons. However, occasionally a company’s quarterly report will contain a troubling development that investors would be wise to not overlook.

    That just might be what’s happening in the case of Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST), whose disappointing quarterly results more »

  • International Markets Will Sweeten These Beverage Companies

    By Madhu Dube - May 3, 2013 | Tickers: DPS, MNST, PEP

    Per capita soda consumption in the US has been declining for years, and has come down to 44 gallons currently, from 54 gallons in 1998. This is mainly due to the increasing health concerns around carbonated drinks. However, recent survey results from the US Food and Beverage Industry has provided some respite to beverage companies. The survey indicates that the food and beverage industry will see massive growth this year more »

  • Will Energy Drink Sales Surpass Traditional Colas?

    By Nauman Aly - May 2, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP

     In the age-old test of which drink tastes better, there may be a new contestant in Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST). This company - through its subsidiaries - markets and sells, as well as develops and distributes beverages worldwide. Many of its drinks are marketed as carbonated energy supplements that have gone head-to-head with other similar drinks, such as 5-Hour Energy. The company was established in 1985 and is headquartered in California.

  • These 3 Numbers Suggest Problems Bubbling Up

    By Chad Henage - April 27, 2013 | Tickers: KO, DPS, MNST, PEP

    When a well loved company begins to run into trouble, it is nearly impossible to convince some investors that the stock could have problems. I don't believe in shorting stocks, or trying to time the market, but I do know when a stock looks overvalued. I know to some it will seem like heresy for me to suggest this stock is overpriced, but that's the way Coca-Cola (NYSE: KOmore »)

  • Why Is This Beverage Stock Going Up?

    By Sonam Chamaria - April 24, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP

    Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) saw a drop in its top-line numbers last quarter. What then, was the reason behind the 5% spike in shares after its results? Are you missing out something important? At a glance, the results looks disappointing. Until, that is, you dig deeper.

    What's the big deal?

    The beverage company experienced a 1% year-over-year decline in net revenue, which totaled about $11 billion in the quarter. At more »

  • 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 »

  • Starbucks and Monster Look Better After Coca-Cola's Report

    By Eric Novinson - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, SBUX

    Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) started off 2013 with decent results. Even though the beverage seller's revenue dipped, the report impressed the market, which looks positive for companies that sell refreshments in general. Coca-Cola reported especially strong results in its tea, juice, and energy drinks businesses. Rising demand for these products could help Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) and Monster, (NASDAQ: MNST) although these companies do have to consider the competition from Coca-Cola more »

  • This Beverage Company Might Prove to Be a Good Investment

    By Anh HOANG - April 18, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP

    Charlie Munger often advises investors that investing is to just identify a few great companies and sit on them for a very long time. Thus, I like businesses which have been consistently earning high double-digit returns on invested capital with a strong balance sheet. However, price is what we pay, and value is what we get. I love to get in such great companies at their fair values or less more »

  • This Beverage Could Pop Soon

    By Piyush Arora - April 16, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP | Editor's Choice

    It’s hard to replace products that people love to consume. Even if those products are not healthy, people tend to reduce their intake but seldom do they completely abstain from them. No, I’m not talking about tobacco or alcohol. Its carbonated beverages that are in focus and the question being asked is, whether the rally of PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) and Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) sustainable or not.

  • 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.

  • Two Bang-Bang Cases Where Insider Selling May Warrant a Move

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: MNST, TRLA

    The conventional wisdom is that it is impossible to really determine the reason that insiders sell their stock in a company, but we may have a bit of a special situation with Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST) and Trulia (NYSE: TRLA). The corporate insider could need to pay college tuition, or perhaps wants to buy a condo in Vail. Insiders face a strong incentive to diversify their wealth away from the more »

  • Will Regulations Stall Growth of Energy Drinks?

    By Eshna De - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: KO, MNST, PEP

    The whole of America is watching the drama unfold on the energy drinks front. With the controversies over deaths allegedly caused by drinking energy drinks and the reports received by the FDA the tension is quite palpable. And I wonder whether this in some strange manner is daring the youngsters to try these energy drinks more and more.

    It doesn’t take statistics to show that energy drinks are getting more »

  • 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 »
