🦧 why everyone should buy coca-cola

🍼 i know. warren still drinks it!

coca-cola ($ko): it's not just coke, im talking dasani, fresca, powerade, even minute maid!

  • berkshire hathaway, famously headed by warren buffett and charlie munger, has been a long-time owner of coca-cola and holds ~10% of $ko

  • in a high volatility market like today’s where risk tolerance is lower over the board and investors are looking for safer places, in the world of equities, coca-cola is crazy good

here’s why:

  • it's a dividend aristocrat. for 60 years(!) dividend payout's increased (currently at 2.83%)

  • stable free cash flow – considering current market conditions, this is a time to look at businesses that actually have stable cash left at the end of every quarter

    • despite the suspension of its russian businesses, the company reported a net income of $2.78B (up 23% from previous year) in its latest earnings report

how it’s done ytd (year-to-date) compared to S&P500:

congrats if you’ve been buying up coca-cola shares so far this year!


💡 something im thinking about…

shoppers who use augmented reality (ar) are less likely to return purchases. never tried it myself, but interesting!


🙏 closing comments

all of this is just one ape’s thoughts, but I would love to hear what you want to know about! happy trading!




as always, just another ape's thoughts and opinions – i am no financial advisor! (i am no substitute for professional financial services)
