‘Safe’ Stocks to Buy: The Coca-Cola Co (KO)

While a sharp loss from the stock market may crimp purchases of cars and vacations until confidence is restored, consumers are likely to keep in grabbing that 12 (or 20) ounces of cool, caffeinated goodness without a second thought.

In other words, The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:KO) has little to worry about in any conceivable environment.

Coca-Cola, however, also has something of an ace up its sleeve … a relationship with Keurig Green Mountain Inc (NASDAQ:GMCR).

Specifically, Coca-Cola carbonated drinks can be created using the Keurig Kold. The response to the Keurig Kold has been lukewarm so far (and even bordering on disappointing), and it’s not even on the market yet.

But that’s not the point.

When the market is falling apart, it’s all about perception. And the perception is, Coke has a money-saving solution in the works. That mental connection will further help keep KO afloat when other stocks are sinking in the meantime.

The clincher is the dividend. KO yields a healthy 3.2% payout, and cash payments become even more important when investors suspect capital appreciation is off the table.

All-American Stocks to Buy: Coca-Cola (KO)
Market Cap: $176 billion

It’s tough to get more American than Coca-Cola (KO). Founded in Atlanta in 1886, the first Cokes went for 5 cents a pop.

The small pharmacy that originally carried the beverage averaged sales of nine servings per day.

Today, the world’s most popular soda averages more than 5 million servings sold per day.

Although Coca-Cola stock hasn’t done much recently — it’s down about 4% over the last year — it’s reasonably priced, and rewards investors with an attractive 3.3% annual dividend. And that payout has grown for 52 consecutive years.

Famously one of the biggest holdings in Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B), Coca-Cola may have operations across the globe, but it has been an All-American stock for decades now.

Well-Known Stocks to Skip: Coca-Cola (KO)

Coca-Cola (KO) is a great example of a well-known brand that is just too expensive right now.

This is one of the best-known companies and most valuable brands in the world today, and that is part of the problem for KO stock. There simply are not many markets where they do not have a presence, which kind of limits growth opportunities.

The soda backlash in parts of the world is not helping very much either, nor is the strong dollar, which makes it difficult to turn overseas profits back into dollars.

KO stock faces a lot of headwinds, and the analysts expect average annual earnings growth of less than 3% over the next five years. For these cheery conditions and outlook you pay 27 times this year’s earnings and 21 times the projected earnings next year.

It is a great company, but the stock price is too high to buy right now.

At-Risk American “BFG” Stocks: The Coca-Cola Co (KO)

Among American BFG companies, perhaps none is more ubiquitous than The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:KO).

Their cheap and addictive cola products can be found in every corner of the world. But this dominance comes at a steep price.

With the Brexit rearing its ugly head, the bearish sales trend for KO stock will only get worse. Going a step further, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if KO became the most affected BFG company in the wake of the Brexit.

Just a week prior to the U.K. referendum, KO downgraded its sales and operating income targets for the second quarter. A merger between Coca-Cola Enterprises and two KO bottlers in Europe is expected to pressure results.

Incidentally, the merger was part of a worldwide effort by KO management to mitigate the effects of slowing demand through cost savings. The Brexit is the swift kick to the groin that’ll hurt any company, BFG or otherwise.

Strangely enough, KO stock is the best performer among the featured giants. Whether it stays that way is a major question mark. Since mid-April of this year, KO has zigzagged in a perfectly tight consolidation pattern.

With the technicals not providing much in the way of clues, investors will likely turn to the fundamentals. The problem here is that both the top-line and the bottom-line are badly decelerating, making KO stock’s valuation against earnings rather rich.

As the pressure piles on, Coca-Cola is likely at greatest risk of getting KOd by the Brexit.
