Coca-Cola Stock: Buy, Sell, or Hold?
Is there anyone in the world who does not know of The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO)? Established in 1886, it has evolved from a local soda fountain syrup to a global beverage company famous for its iconic branding and distinctive taste. The stock went public in 1919, rewarded shareholders handsomely throughout the century, and started paying dividends in 1964.
Yet, recent times have been a bit frustrating for shareholders. Although the company is the global beverage leader, its stock has struggled over the past five years, severely underperforming the overall market. So, let's examine the stock and Coca-Cola's recent key financial metrics to evaluate whether it should be considered a buy, sell, or hold.
Coca-Cola has long been a favorite stock of Warren Buffett, who first bought shares through Berkshire Hathaway in 1988 and then over the next seven years for a total of $1.3 billion. Despite not reinvesting Coca-Cola's dividends, which amounted to a noteworthy $704 million in 2022 alone, Berkshire's ownership stake has risen.
