Coca-Cola and Hasbro Shareholders Are Smiling, but Harley's Still Decelerating
We're in the heart of earnings season, and every day brings a new set of surprises for investors. On Tuesday, some of the most interesting details came from a trio of quintessentially American companies: Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), and Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG). The first two delivered solid beats, and the market applauded: Coke stock hit a new high, and Hasbro popped by as much as 10% on the day.
