The new agreement delivers annual wage increases of 4%, 4%, and 5% over the term of the contract, as well as improvements to the defined benefit pension plan, including a $2 per year increase—totaling $6 over the life of the agreement.

Unifor Local 973 Members Approve New 3-Year Contract With Coca-Cola, Securing Wage Increases And Pension Improvements For 700 Brampton Workers

Advertising legend Rory Sutherland admits he once dismissed podcasting as a fad, even after meeting the journalist who coined the word.
What Happened: "I remember thinking this will never take off," he told the "Uncensored CMO" show, recalling a chat with Ben Hammersley, the Guardian writer credited with inventing the term in 2004.
Back in 2005 UK already had BBC Radio 4, Sutherland reasoned, so he doubted listeners would download amateur radio on an iPod. Instead, global podcast revenue has now swelled to $7.3 billion, according to fresh Bloomberg research. The wider market, including hosting, equipment and listener payments, could hit $47.8 billion by the end of 2025 from $36.3 billion in 2024, a forecast from The Business Research Company shows.

"Just because what you say makes sense doesn't mean you're right," Sutherland conceded, likening his error to assuming Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) would bomb in the tea-loving UK.

Sutherland, the Vice Chairman of Ogilvy, one of the largest and most renowned advertising agencies in the world, said his bad call taught him humility. "All my arguments against podcasting were perfectly sensible. Turns out they were completely wrong," he conceded.
Why It Matters: Podcasting's boom is hard to ignore. Spotify (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) has paid creators <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45061513/spotify-pays-100-million-to-podcast-creators-aiming-to-topple-youtubes-reign">more than $100 million</a> this year, chasing YouTube's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43998792/youtube-surpasses-spotify-with-1-billion-monthly-podcast-users-ceo-pledges-enhanced-monetization-for-creators">one-billion-viewer lead</a>. U.S. ad spend alone was expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39494315/the-new-york-times-plans-shift-of-top-podcasts-behind-paywall-to-boost-revenue-amid-growing">top $2 billion</a> in 2024, according to a report following The New York Times&#8217; decision to shift its marquee shows behind a paywall.
Industry analysts at eMarketer count 584 million global listeners and project worldwide ad spend of $4.46 billion next year.
Even legacy radio giants such as Audacy now rely on podcasts for growth, though the broadcaster <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36527958/radio-podcast-titan-audacy-files-for-bankruptcy-amid-plummeting-advertising-revenues">filed for bankruptcy</a> after advertising slipped.

Coca-Cola's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) short percent of float has fallen 13.79% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 31.92 million shares sold short, which is 0.75% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.32 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Coca-Cola has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Coca-Cola's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Coca-Cola's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.22%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Coca-Cola?

Bank of America Securities analyst Bryan D. Spillan remains bullish on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) and Monster Beverage Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNST#NASDAQ">MNST</a>), citing resilient growth, strategic tailwinds, and improving fundamentals across the broader Coke system <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">despite near-term macro volatility</a>.
In a recent report on The Coca-Cola Co. and its global system of publicly traded bottlers (incl. Monster Energy), BofA Securities said the investment case for giants like The Coca-Cola Company and Monster Beverage Corporation remains robust, fueled by strong consumer demand.
Coca-Cola Company: The analyst presented a detailed overview of this beverage giant&#8217;s bottlers, who contribute 55% of global volume.

While second-quarter volume may face temporary softness, the analyst writes the second half of 2025 looks favorable for Coca-Cola&#8217;s defensive profile, with potential upside in first-half for underperformers like Coca Cola Femsa S.A.B. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOF#NYSE">KOF</a>), supported by solid fundamentals and coordinated strategy across the Coke System.
BofA Securities notes that Coca-Cola HBC&#8217;s strong growth trajectory remains intact despite a more volatile macro backdrop, with the company gaining 150 bps of NARTD&nbsp;(non-alcoholic ready-to-drink) share in 2024 and nearly 300 bps over the past three years.
Solid revenue trends are driving high-single-digit EBIT and roughly 10% EPS growth, supported by a robust balance sheet that offers flexibility for M&amp;A or increased shareholder returns.
Meanwhile, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners is set up for a stronger second half after lapping a soft summer in 2024, with longer-term tailwinds from rising per capita consumption and income growth in Indonesia and the Philippines expected to support future expansion alongside stable European operations.
BofA Securities highlights that Coca-Cola&#8217;s sustained ~5% organic sales growth, driven by a healthy mix of volume and pricing, continues to outpace multinational peers, though this strength doesn&#8217;t appear fully priced into the stock.
The analyst maintained the Buy rating on the stock with a price forecast of $77.
Monster Beverage: Monster Beverage is also showing signs of recovery, with U.S. volumes rebounding after last year&#8217;s slowdown and international margins trending higher, aided by pricing and steady U.S. demand.
Spillan reiterated the Buy rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $66.
The analyst assigns a premium valuation to Monster Beverage shares relative to large-cap beverage peers and broader consumer staples, citing the company&#8217;s consistently strong growth profile and attractive margin structure as justification.
However, the note outlines several downside risks, including a maturing category that may be losing market share, weaker-than-expected impact from innovation, slower international growth, investor rotation away from defensive stocks, currency headwinds, and a less robust sales outlook for the Bang brand over the medium term.
Price Action: MNST shares are trading lower by 0.56% to $62.68 at last check Wednesday, while KO shares are trading lower by 0.44% to $72.03.

What Happened: No, it&#8217;s not Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) or PepsiCo Inc.

According to data highlighted by Charlie Bilello, the chief marketing strategist at Creative Planning, Monster Beverage has provided a 32.6% annualized return over the last 30 years since Aug. 18, 1995.
The data shows that if an investor had bought positions worth $10,000 in the beverage company, they would have a total of $44,496,814 today.
The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), rose 1,868% in the same period, providing a 10.4% annualized return. Thus growing a $10,000 investment into $196,840 over the 30 years.
The top five S&amp;P 500 performers apart from MNST, according to Bilello&#8217;s list, include Nvidia, Amazon, Axon Enterprises Inc.

Why It Matters: Shares of Monster Beverage have risen by 22.25% on a year-to-date basis, whereas it has gained 23.24% over the last year.

The relative strength index of 67.46 was closer to the overbought conditions but still in the neutral zone. A positive MACD line of 1.33 suggested that its 12-day exponential moving average was above its 26-day EMA, indicating a bullish momentum.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Congressional Trading Report: Rep. Lloyd Doggett Bought Over $1K In Procter & Gamble Stock

The Aluminium Association of Canada (AAC) has condemned the U.S. government's move to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aluminum" rel="noreferrer noopener">aluminum</a>, calling it a protectionist misfire that risks destabilizing North America's integrated manufacturing base and driving higher inflation across key sectors.
"A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum will suppress demand across the continent — whether the metal is produced in Canada or the U.S.," Jean Simard, AAC's president and CEO, <a target="_blank" href="https://aluminium.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/AAC_PRESS-RELEASE_US-Tariffs_50_June-3-2025_FINAL.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a press release.
"It will impact workers on both sides of the border and disrupt key sectors including defense, construction, and automotive," he stated.
The tariff, enacted last Wednesday following an executive order from President Donald Trump, effectively prices Canadian exports out of the U.S. market at $1,349.50 per metric ton. Simard warned that the move may force Canadian producers to reorient trade toward the European Union and away from their most critical industrial partner.
Food packaging is among the industries most exposed to these tariffs, as large companies such as Campbell Soup (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) heavily rely on aluminum for their products.
The domestic Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) also responded to Trump's decision, pointing out how aluminum and tinplate steel tariffs would hurt American families.
"Doubling the steel tariff will further increase the cost of canned goods at the grocery store," CMI president Robert Budway <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cancentral.com/can-manufacturers-institute-opposes-president-trumps-doubling-of-steel-tariffs/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> on May 30. "These metal tariffs put our nation's food security at risk."
Nine domestic mill production lines have closed since the original 2018 tariffs on tin mill steel, leaving only three operational facilities. Thus, the domestic industry relies on roughly 80% of tin mill steel imports and a significant portion of aluminum.
Canada annually ships 2.7 million metric tons of aluminum to the U.S., much of which is transformed into beverage cans, canned food containers, and consumer packaging.
That raw material supports over 700,000 American manufacturing jobs, while Canada's aluminum sector directly employs 9,500 workers. Combined, the binational aluminum value chain contributes more than $228 billion annually to the U.S. economy.
Thanks to its abundant hydropower, Canada produces low-carbon aluminum at a cost and emissions profile that is far below that of many of its global competitors. That energy benefit is enormous — equivalent to 40 million megawatt-hours per year, or the annual output of four Hoover Dams.
Simrad noted that the Canadian industry supports the U.S. goal of increasing domestic aluminum production capacity from 50% to 80% of national demand, but added that tariffs undermine the investment certainty needed to build that capacity.
"Even if U.S. output doubles, it will still be a net importer," he said.
Instead, the AAC and CMI urge the U.S. to target the real threat: subsidized overcapacity from China. Canada already leads the world in aluminum traceability and anti-dumping enforcement. "Canadian aluminum is not — and will not be — a backdoor for unfair trade," Simard stated. "Undermining a trusted partner only weakens the foundation we both stand on."

Warren Buffett's investment in Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) is a master class in patient, long-term investing — and it pays him handsomely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42115069/warren-buffett-is-set-to-collect-776-million-in-coca-cola-dividends-but-daughter-says-his-wife-buys-him-the-soda-on-sale">every single day.</a>
What To Know: In 1988, Buffett began buying shares of Coca-Cola in the aftermath of the 1987 stock market crash and ultimately amassed 400 million shares through his company Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>). 
The company's stake in Coca-Cola represents more than 10% of Berkshire&#8217;s portfolio and about 8% of Coca-Cola's outstanding shares.

Fast forward to 2025, and those 400 million shares are worth over $25 billion — but the real magic is in the dividends. 
Coca-Cola pays shareholders a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KO/dividends"> quarterly dividend</a> of 51 cents per share, amounting to $2.04 per share annually. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is set to earn $816 million in Coca-Cola dividends in 2025.&nbsp;
Broken down, that's about $2.23 million flowing into Berkshire's coffers every single day, or nearly $93,000 per hour.&nbsp;
What Else: Buffett is well known for drinking Coke and has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43341020/warren-buffett-would-give-up-a-year-of-his-life-to-eat-whatever-he-wants-his-daughter-confirms-he-still-gets-daily-mcdonalds-breakfast-at-94">said he drinks</a> about five cans a day, even at age 94.&nbsp;
In 2015, he joked to Fortune, &#8220;I&#8217;m one-quarter Coca-Cola,&#8221; admitting that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40971688/warren-buffett-owns-28b-in-coca-cola-stock-and-drinks-5-cans-a-day-i-dont-think-the-prostate-can">the drink accounts</a> for 25% of his daily calorie intake.&nbsp;
As he famously quipped, "If you aren't willing to own a stock for 10 years, don't even think about owning it for 10 minutes." 
For Buffett, Coca-Cola has been a sweet investment — one that pays, quite literally, every single day.

Success Stories

Warren Buffett Makes Over $2.2 Million A Day From This Stock

In the age of meme stocks, moonshot tech plays, and crypto quick wins, it might seem out of character for a young investor to get excited about Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), or Lockheed Martin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), or a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">dividend ETF</a> that doesn't promise to 10x your money overnight.
But a revolution is quietly cooking in the portfolios of Gen-Z&#8217;ers and Millennials who follow the FIRE philosophy — Financial Independence, Retire Early. And large part of this movement is a tactic your financial advisor&#8217;s father may have suggested: dividend growth investing. In that context, Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) is emerging as a solid contender for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/05/45532640/schd-the-dividend-etf-turning-quiet-compounding-into-long-term-wealth">passive income investing</a>.
Let&#8217;s explore the mood further. SCHD has a low 0.06% expense ratio, pays a 4% dividend yield, and owns stalwarts such as Verizon (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>), ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>), and Coca-Cola. The fund is tightly rules-based, emphasizing only those firms with 10 years of dividend payment, good fundamentals, and heavy trading volume.
And that&#8217;s what attracts FIRE followers. The emotional roller coaster involved in pursuing meme tickers and &#8220;to the moon&#8221; mania is bound to lose charm, and young investors are constructing long-term portfolios intended to accumulate wealth quietly, sustainably, and with little drama.
The Philosophy 
FIRE is not about instant wealth. It&#8217;s about working hard, investing harder, and retiring earlier than the conventional age of 65-70, on a self-directed, passive income stream robust enough to pay for everything.
Dividend growth investing checks all the boxes: It offers compounding income from quarterly payments, less volatility than high-beta growth stocks, protection against inflation as dividends rise with time, and sector diversification without the drudgery of selecting individual stocks.
And SCHD? It does it all, no Reddit forum necessary.
A Financial Workhorse
With assets of more than $67 billion and an average daily volume of more than 15 million shares, it&#8217;s a big player in the dividend ETF universe. Its top 10 holdings, such as Lockheed Martin, Cisco (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), and Verizon, are among the most financially secure U.S. corporations. And its built-in guardrails, such as a sector exposure cap (no more than 25%) and focus on return on equity (29.06% as of April 30), prevent it from crossing into dangerous territory.
Even during periods of market volatility, SCHD&#8217;s performance has been robust due to its mix of consumer staples, healthcare, and energy exposure. It&#8217;s not cool, but it&#8217;s reliable. And in a FIRE portfolio, that is a superpower.
Final Thought
In an era where financial news streams are dominated by AI chip makers and blockchain soap operas, SCHD is working its magic behind the scenes, assisting investors in achieving their objectives one dividend check at a time. For the next generation pursuing financial independence, and not merely flashy charts, it might be just the turtle that outpaces all the hares on the track.

From Meme Stocks To Mature Moves: Why SCHD Might Be A Good Bet For Young Investors For Passive Income Power

As Americans sip more selectively, soft drink makers are bubbling up profits not from selling more — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/beverages">but from functionality</a>. 
That&#8217;s according to Bank of America Securities analyst Bryan D. Spillane&#8217;s latest U.S. Soft Drink Primer, which shows flat beverage volumes in 2024, but rising dollar signs. The reason stems from premium products touting functional benefits like zero sugar, caffeine, and probiotics. 
Consider the numbers: In 2024, U.S. liquid refreshment beverage (LRB) sales rose 4.5% in value, with volume growth remaining mostly flat. Total beverage volume, including LRBs and alcoholic drinks, was also flat year-over-year and has grown at a modest 0.7% CAGR over the past five years.
However, consumer interest in functional benefits—like caffeine, creatine/protein, probiotics, and zero sugar—continues to drive value. The industry's shift toward revenue growth over volume has expanded its profit pool by 7% annually over the last decade.
Spillane breaks down which beverage stocks are best positioned to tap this trend.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Coca-Cola Company</h3>
Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>): The analyst reiterated the Buy rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $77.
Spillane outlines key risks to their price objective. Upside risks include stronger growth in both developed and emerging markets, a weaker U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, and better free cash flow conversion. On the downside, potential risks include market volatility across regions, earnings pressure from a stronger dollar, and rising consumer concerns around sugar and calorie content.
There&#8217;s also Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCEP#NASDAQ">CCEP</a>), which Spillane reiterated a Buy rating with a price forecast of $96.
The recent addition of the Philippines territory offers access to a fast-growing market with structurally lower margins that present potential for improvement and medium-term upside, Spillane says. The target multiple reflects only a slight premium to the S&amp;P 500 Beverage Index, which is justified by Coca-Cola Europacific&#8217;s delivery track record and growth potential.
The analyst also expresses confidence in Coca-Cola Europacific&#8217;s ability to continue reducing leverage, supported by strong cash conversion and a solid profit trajectory.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Keurig Dr Pepper</h3>
Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KDP#NASDAQ">KDP</a>): Spillane reiterated the Buy rating, with a price forecast of $41.
Spillane writes that the price objective reflects a prolonged recovery in the U.S. Coffee segment, while still recognizing Keurig Dr Pepper's strong and diversified portfolio.
The firm sees the company as well-positioned to grow both sales and earnings, especially with recent brand additions like C4 energy drink and Electrolit hydration, which enhance its overall growth potential.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BellRing Brands</h3>
BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRBR#NYSE">BRBR</a>): The analyst reiterated the Buy rating on the stock, with a price forecast of $90.
Spillane writes that the outlook for BellRing is justified, as the company is positioned for future growth.
This view is backed by strong consumer interest reflected in positive scanner data, which is further supported by ongoing volume gains from increased production capacity, promotional efforts, and a planned boost in marketing investment.

Looking At Coca-Cola's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Coca-Cola's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.62% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 40.19 million shares sold short, which is 0.94% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.36 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Coca-Cola Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748368820_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Coca-Cola has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Coca-Cola's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Coca-Cola's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.93%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

What Does the Market Think About Coca-Cola?

A history of beating the S&amp;P 500 has turned Warren Buffett into one of the greatest investors of all time and helped boost the strong returns for conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/01/42832123/warren-buffett-beats-sp-500-in-2024-how-oracle-of-omahas-returns-compare-over-past-20-years">over the years.</a>
With the announcement that Buffett will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45184410/warren-buffett-to-step-down-as-berkshire-hathaway-ceo-by-end-of-year-asks-board-to-confirm-greg-abel-as-successor">be stepping down</a> as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of 2025, here's a look at three of the "Oracle of Omaha's" investment principles.
Own Stocks for Long Term: One Warren Buffett investing principle is to buy and hold stocks.
Buffett&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/08/40652464/warren-buffett-celebrates-94th-birthday-with-1-trillion-market-cap-milestone-a-look-back-at-hig">bought&nbsp;his first stock </a>at the age of 11 at $38 a share. Buffett sold the stock at $40 for a gain on his purchase.
The share would climb to over $200 later, and he cites&nbsp;that as when he learned a lesson on patience in investing.
"If you aren't thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don't even think about owning it for 10 minutes."
Buffett bought shares of&nbsp;Coca-Cola&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), one of his largest holdings, back in 1988.

Warren Buffett Investment Success: 3 Simple Rules To Copy Oracle Of Omaha

As the investing universe is hot on the trail of AI unicorns and meme-driven moonshots, there&#8217;s a more subtle approach quietly making investors millionaires — one dividend check at a time. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">Dividend growth investing</a> isn&#8217;t glamorous. It won&#8217;t illuminate Reddit forums or fuel CNBC arguments. But for investors intent on creating lasting, long-term wealth, especially for retirement, it could be the wisest thing you can do.
Individual dividend stocks may be temperamental. Earnings misses, company-specific risk or dividend reductions can upset your income stream. ETFs, however, package up several dividend-growing companies, spreading out risk and leveling out returns. And when it comes to getting dividend growth done correctly, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) is at the front of the line.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/05/45528747/this-corner-of-the-etf-market-is-about-to-explode-to-2-trillion">This Corner Of The ETF Market Is About To Explode To $2 Trillion</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Case For Dividend Growth</h1>
Dividend growth investing targets those companies that steadily grow their payments year in and year out. It&#8217;s not merely about receiving yield, it&#8217;s about seeing that yield build as your investment quietly grows in the background.
In the long term, this strategy provides a unique trifecta: increasing income, appreciation in capital and reduced volatility versus non-dividend stocks. Even better, it provides protection against inflation, which makes it perfect for long-term financial objectives such as retirement.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">SCHD: The MVP Of Dividend Growth ETFs</h1>
Among the expanding world of dividend-oriented ETFs, SCHD is a standout with its steadiness and resilience in the face of a burst of newer arrivals and market phenomena like stock splits.
Dividend Yield: 3.9%
Expense Ratio: A mere 0.06%
Top Holdings: Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>).
SCHD follows the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, choosing only those companies with no less than 10 years of dividend increases, solid financials, and compelling yields.
Its quality-control focus, such as return on equity (average 29%) provides an extra layer of protection during downturns. And with a sector breakdown divided among energy (21%), consumer staples (19%), and healthcare (16%), SCHD balances growth with resilience.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is There A Catch?</h1>
Naturally, even SCHD isn&#8217;t bulletproof.
Its concentration risk is something to consider. Its top 10 holdings <a href="https://www.schwabassetmanagement.com/products/schd">constitute </a>4% of the fund on an average. While not a cause for concern, it may make risk-averse investors consider more diversified ETFs like the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIG#NYSE">VIG</a>), though it provides slightly less yield at 1.8%.
And then there&#8217;s the macro risk: economic slowdowns might pinch earnings and, by proxy, dividend increases. But SCHD&#8217;s concentration in solidly financed firms puts it in a better position to weather any softening than the typical fund.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Final Thoughts: Boring Is Beautiful</h1>
SCHD isn&#8217;t a roller coaster, but it&#8217;s not meant to be. It&#8217;s the workhorse of your financial stable.
For investors who want long-term compounding, increasing income, and an element of protection from chaos, SCHD is as close as the market comes to a &#8220;set it and semi-forget it&#8221; strategy.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) is on an upswing, now trading at approximately $2665.70, following a gain of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-ethereum">over 44% in the past seven days</a>, according to CoinMarketCap. A sharp 8.42% surge in the last 24 hours further points to the strong bullish momentum towards the $3000 milestone fuelled by institutional buy-ins and network updates.
The rally has propelled Ethereum's market capitalization to around $322.23 billion, placing it ahead of global giants such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd &#8211; ADR (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>), valued at $303.72 billion, and Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), at $297.17 billion.

</ul>
While Ethereum's surge is a part of a broader crypto market upswing, a major driver in this positive momentum is renewed institutional interest, notably from a massive investment by a London-based asset management firm, Abraxas Capital. According to on-chain data posted by Lookonchain, the company purchased nearly $500 million worth of Ethereum as of Tuesday.
Further, in the past 12 hours, Abraxas Capital bought another 33,482 ETH, marking its total purchases at 211,030 ETH. Lookonchain also highlighted an additional $240 million borrowing by Abraxas Capital from Aave, fuelling speculation on fresh ETH investment.
This accumulation is seen as a strong vote of confidence for investors in Ethereum's long-term potential, especially when combined with last week's Pectra upgrade.&nbsp;
While institutional buying has surged, from a technical standpoint there are signs of a cooling bullish trend. The Directional Movement Index (DMI) indicator suggests a drop in its Average Directional Index (ADI), which measures the intensity of a trend.
A weakening bullish trend is being observed as the ADX fell from 61 to 47.99. Additionally, the +DI line has dropped from 47.96 to 27.2, indicating a fall in bullish sentiment. Meanwhile, bearish pressure is on the rise, with the -DI line rising from 3.39 to 13.97.
As the gap between the +DI and -DI lines is narrowing, analysts expect a short-term pullback in Ethereum's price.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also reflects a moderate bullish momentum, as Ethereum's RSI dropped from an overbought high of 83 to 63. This dip signals a retreat from the overbought zone while maintaining an underlying bullish trend.
Interestingly, renewed buying interest is being observed as RSI bounced from 54 a few hours ago, and +DI went up and -DI went down.
Adding to the positive sentiment, a surge has also been noted in the trading volume, with a rise of 24.66% over the past 24 hours, and a 7.54% rise in its market cap. Ethereum's Exponential Moving Average (EMA) lines continue to show an uptrend, confirming the ongoing bullish pattern.
On the charts, ETH is consolidating within the range of $2425 and $2705. It is now testing key resistance levels, with analysts pointing to $2730 as a barrier, a breakout above which could open the path to the $3000 mark, and continued upward momentum.
Conversely, Ethereum needs to hold the $2320 support level to avoid price retracement to $1938, and possibly further down to $1736 due to intensified bearish momentum.
Despite some short-term resistance, the broader outlook for Ethereum remains optimistic. The combination of institutional investment, technological upgrades, and favourable macroeconomic conditions suggests a growing confidence in Ethereum hitting a key $3000 milestone.&nbsp;

According to the recent data shared by Creative Planning, Inc., the &#8216;Oracle of Omaha,&#8217; Warren Buffett earned 98% of his current net worth after turning 65 years old.
What Happened: The 94-year-old veteran investor Buffett has a net worth of $160 billion according to Bloomberg&#8217;s Billionaire Index.
Peter Mallouk, the president and CEO of Creative Planning, shared data showcasing that the ace investor&#8217;s net worth stood at $3 billion nearly 34 years ago, when he was just 65.
His wealth has compounded by nearly 5,233% since then to $160 billion as of May 14. This shows that he earned 98% of his wealth after the age of 65.
Mallouk also quoted Buffett, highlighting that the growth in his wealth was possible through the power of compounding.
&#8220;My life has been a product of compound interest,&#8221; Buffett once said.
