Coca-Cola's (NYSE: KO) strengths as an investment are the stuff of legend. It dominates the global market for on-the-go drinks with several billion servings of its products sold each day.
That industry position confers some impressive financial metrics on the business, including high profit margins and ample cash flows. It also allows for steadily growing earnings through a wide range of selling environments.
Coca-Cola is an excellent income investment, too, having boosted its payout in each of the last 60 years. It's no wonder that this stock is one of Warren Buffett's favorite holdings.
