Upgrades

TD Cowen Upgrades Coca-Cola to Buy, Announces $75 Price Target

Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) has both attractive and sustainable growth drivers, with the North and Latin American regions driving attractive growth and exposure to emerging markets being a driver of sustainable long-term growth, according to Piper Sandler.
The Coca-Cola Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/580ded6b846faa000106aeb1/michael-lavery">Analyst Michael Lavery</a> initiated coverage of Coca-Cola with an Overweight rating and a price target of $74. 
The Coca-Cola Thesis: North America and LatAm contribute around 70% of the company's EBIT and have been the key drivers of growth over the last few years, Lavery said in the initiation note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Coca-Cola has significant exposure to emerging markets, which represent "a large, sustainable long-term growth driver," the analyst wrote. In these markets, around 68% of the population do not drink any commercial beverage and this opportunity represents around 4.5 times Coca-Cola's current consumer base, he added.
"Population growth and rising EM incomes help drive sustainable volume and pricing gains," Lavery further wrote.
The franchised bottling system that allows Coca-Cola to focus on brand building and strong marketing "is the key driver of KO's long-term growth algorithm and its best-in-class global brands," the analyst said.
KO Price Action: Shares of Coca-Cola had risen by 0.61% to $61.18 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

While investors can bet on the entire Dow Jones Industrial Average through ETFs like the Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>), investors can also pick individual stocks from the 30 components of the index. Through Dec. 27, the ETF is up 13.4% year-to-date.

Here are the highest-yielding Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks to start 2025, with the dividend yield and stock performance in 2024 listed below.

Component Changes Impact Yields: It's worth noting that dividend investors will have to look elsewhere to chase some of the higher-yielding stocks they have become accustomed to.
Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>), which yields 10.40% and Dow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>), which yields 6.99% have been replaced and removed from the index.
New 2024 Dow Jones Industrial Average components don't come with high dividend yields. Sherwin-Williams Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHW#NYSE">SHW</a>) has a dividend yield of 0.80%, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has a dividend yield of 0.03% and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) does not pay a dividend.
This means that the yield on ETFs that track the Dow Jones Industrial Average will be lower, with the goal of potentially stronger returns by replacing the underperforming stocks with stocks that have performed better over the past five years.
The latest 30 Dow Jones Industrial Average components see 28 stocks paying out dividends with Amazon and Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) the exceptions.
The average dividend yield of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is around 2%.

From nostalgic throwbacks to luxury innovations, these collaborations didn't just make headlines—they redefined what it means to work together in the modern market.
Here are five standout collaborations that made waves this year:
Heinz and Absolut Vodka
Kraft Heinz Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) joined forces with Absolut Vodka to launch a vodka tomato pasta sauce.

Macallan and Bentley Motors

2024's Wildest Brand Marriages: From Tesla's Mezcal To Life-Size Polly Pocket

Warren Buffett, renowned for his &#8220;buy-and-hold&#8221; investment philosophy, rarely sells stocks, making his decision to divest significant stakes a noteworthy event. 
Known as the &#8220;Sage of Omaha,&#8221; Buffett prefers to hold positions indefinitely, only selling when he believes a company's competitive advantage has eroded.
His approach to investing is built on patience and confidence in a business's long-term fundamentals.
"We're more reluctant to sell them than most people," Buffett <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aH5ss-uLEc">explained</a> during Berkshire Hathaway's 2009 annual meeting.
"If we made the right decision going in, we like to ride that a very long time, and we've owned some stocks for decades. But if the competitive advantage disappears, if we really lose faith in the management, if we were wrong in the original analysis — and that happens — we sell," Buffett added. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42638957/warren-buffetts-timeless-advice-if-youre-gonna-do-dumb-things-because-your-stock-goes-down-you-shouldnt-own-a-stock-at-all">Warren Buffett's Timeless Advice For Investing $10,000: &#8216;If You're Gonna Do Dumb Things Because Your Your Stock Goes Down, You Shouldn&#8217;t Own A Stock At All&#8217;</a>
Buffett's strategy was evident in his historic investment in newspapers during the 1970s. Back then, he viewed publications like the Omaha World-Herald and Buffalo News as indomitable franchises. 
However, the industry faced severe challenges in the early 2000s, as digital platforms eroded advertising revenues. Recognizing these structural changes, Buffett eventually sold his portfolio of around 30 newspapers in early 2020, signaling his belief that their competitive edge had vanished.
This rare shift in Buffett's portfolio management reflects his disciplined approach to identifying and responding to fundamental changes in industries. 
His actions underscore the importance of evaluating long-term competitive advantages, even for businesses previously considered untouchable.

Stock Split

How Warren Buffett Decides When To Sell a Stock: 'If the Competitive Advantage Disappears...We Sell'

Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) might be known for refreshing beverages, but its stock action is far from bubbly. The iconic beverage maker's share price has slipped into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/death-cross">a Death Cross</a> – a technical signal where the 50-day moving average falls below the 200-day moving average – reinforcing a strongly bearish outlook.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent122024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="493" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20070328/Screenshot-2024-12-20-at-5.04.58-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-701539" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20070328/Screenshot-2024-12-20-at-5.04.58-PM.png 630w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20070328/Screenshot-2024-12-20-at-5.04.58-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></a></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KO Stock In Bearish Zone</h2>
KO stock, at $62.20, is trading below key moving averages, signaling further bearish momentum:
<ul>
<li>Eight-day SMA: $62.88</li>
<li>20-day SMA: $63.21</li>
<li>50-day SMA: $64.84</li>
<li>200-day SMA: $64.95</li>
</ul>
This alignment places KO stock in a firmly bearish zone, with each level presenting a bearish signal, as the stock price trails all major averages. 
Selling pressure is evident, leaving KO stock vulnerable to further declines. Over the past year, the stock has gained 8.40%, but recent trends are souring with a 1.72% dip in the last five trading days.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coca-Cola&#8217;s M&amp;A Move: Billson's Beverages Acquisition</h2>
While the charts deliver sour news, Coca-Cola is making moves to sweeten its portfolio. The company inked a <a href="https://drinksdigest.com/2024/12/20/coca-cola-company-acquires-aussie-rtd-brand-billsons/">deal</a> to acquire the ready-to-drink (RTD) spirits business of Australia's Billson's Beverages. This marks Coca-Cola's first foray into Australia's alcoholic beverage market, adding products like Vodka with Tangle and Vodka with Grape Burst to its lineup.
Matthias Blume, Coca-Cola's vice president of marketing for ASEAN and the South Pacific, highlighted the strategic importance of the acquisition. "This acquisition allows us to expand in the dynamic and growing alcoholic RTD category in Australia, aligning with our vision to provide a beverage for every occasion."
While the deal may invigorate Coca-Cola's brand in Australia, it does little to address the stock's current bearish momentum, as traders remain focused on near-term technical challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Outlook</h2>
For now, Coca-Cola's fizz on the Australian acquisition front isn't enough to offset its bearish technical trajectory. With the Death Cross looming and selling pressure evident, KO investors may need to brace for more downside ahead.

The Coca-Cola Company Announced It Has Names Henrique Braun As COO, Effective January 1, 2025

Coca-Cola's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.72% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 33.66 million shares sold short, which is 0.79% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.19 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/">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 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://pro.benzinga.com/">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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Restaurant giant McDonald's Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>) could be in the sights of future Department of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F.

The news of RFK Jr.'s potential new role sent vaccine stocks lower given the former presidential candidate's anti-vax stance over the years. Food and beverage companies could also be on watch with Kennedy saying he would target food additives.
A recent podcast interview featuring Kennedy on "The Joe Polish Show" could put McDonald's and some of Trump's favorite foods at risk, as <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/15/us-news/how-rfk-jr-would-change-mcdonalds-and-trumps-diet/">reported </a>by the New York Post.
"The stuff he eats is really, like, bad," Kennedy told Polish in a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO0qzGdIziY">episode</a>, while speaking of Trump's diet.
Kennedy described some of the food served aboard Trump's Trump Force One plane as &#8220;just poison.&#8221;
The comments came after an image of Trump, Kennedy, Elon Musk, and others eating McDonald's on Trump's plane went viral on social media.

Some on social media speculated about Kennedy&#8217;s expression, describing it as one of surprise or discomfort. The recent comments from Kennedy could illustrate why he looked like he did with a McDonald&#8217;s meal sitting in front of him on the plane.

</ul>
What's Next: Kennedy says he wants to "Make America Healthy Again" and is is looking to change the fast food sector. The potential future cabinet member has stopped short of calling for a ban on fast food but wants to change the way food is made.
McDonald's fans, including Trump, can breathe a sigh of relief that Kennedy recognizes fast food as "part of American culture," but they might not like potential changes.
Kennedy wants to ban seed oils, including canola, soybean, and hydrogenated soybean oil, which are used to cook McDonald's famous French fries.  
Instead of using seed oils, Kennedy said McDonald's should return to cooking fries in beef fat tallow, something it once did. The cooking method is used by some gourmet burger restaurants and often results in the fries having a "darker color and a meatier taste," according to the NY Post report.
"You body needs that, it makes you healthy," Kennedy previously said of the beef fat tallow cooking method.
Kennedy could also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42039365/whats-going-on-with-pepsi-stock">target food dyes</a>, which could include taking on Diet Coke, the popular beverage owned by The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>). Trump is a known fan of Diet Coke.
"We have the worst health outcomes because of chronic disease, and we've got to figure out what's causing it and eliminate it. It's not rocket science," Kennedy told Dr. Phil McGraw in August. "We're mass poisoning an entire generation of kids. These kids are obese, it's not because they suddenly got lazy."
Trump once <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/video-trump-tells-mcdonalds-employee-knows-menu-better-2023-2">told </a>employees at a McDonald's restaurant that he might know the menu better than they do. The president-elect, a well-known admirer of the cuisine, reportedly often asks White House staff to recreate dishes inspired by the restaurant.
Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/23/06/32906325/trump-promised-food-for-everyone-at-a-miami-cuban-restaurant-diners-didnt-cash-in-and-the-former">also famously served</a> fast food to NCAA College Football champions visiting the White House when government employees were part of a government shutdown.
While Trump and Kennedy are now linked after previously running against each other in the 2024 presidential election, the removal or change in the recipe of some of Trump's favorite foods and beverages could be a storyline to watch.
MCD Price Action: McDonald's stock trades at $291.50 Monday, versus a 52-week trading range of $243.53 to $317.90. McDonald's stock is down 1.6% year-to-date in 2024 and down 7.7% over the last month.
