Better Buy: Berkshire Hathaway vs. Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) are two companies that need no introduction to most investors. We've all known Coke since we were kids, and most of us drink its products every day. And Berkshire Hathaway is run by the world's most famous investor, Warren Buffett. Both are well worth knowing -- but only one can be the better buy.
Berkshire Hathaway started out as a textile manufacturer, but under Buffett's decades of direction, it has become a holding company for a powerful array of businesses and investments. Berkshire owns companies like GEICO, Duracell, and Fruit of the Loom, to name just a few, and it invests in others, like Apple, Bank of America, Kraft Heinz, American Express, and Coca-Cola itself. It's the fifth-largest company in the world, with a market cap of $555 billion.
