Warren Buffett once joked that a quarter of his body is made up of Coca-Cola because of how much of it he drinks every day. And it's no wonder he loves it so much considering he profits from every bottle, can and fountain pour sold around the world.&nbsp;
Thanks to his company's decades-old stake in the soft drink giant, those profits keep rolling in whether the stock price is up, down or flat.&nbsp;
Through Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett owns 400 million shares of The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>). The $1.3 billion investment he made between 1988 and 1994 is now worth over $27 billion, and it spits out over three-quarters of a billion dollars a year in dividends alone.
But how much does Buffett actually make every time someone buys a Coke?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Let's Break It Down</h2>
In 2024, Coca-Cola sold approximately 33.7 billion unit cases of beverages globally. A unit case represents 24 eight-ounce servings (the size of Coke's classic glass bottle), which adds up to about 808.8 billion servings sold in total last year.
According to the company's annual report, trademark Coca-Cola products— Coca-Cola Classic, Diet Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, and other Coke-branded drinks—accounted for 47% of all volume. That means around 15.8 billion unit cases, or roughly 379.2 billion individual 8-ounce servings, were trademark Coke.
Coca-Cola generated $47.06 billion in revenue in 2024, with an estimated $22.1 billion (or 47%) of that coming from trademark Coke products. Net income was $10.63 billion, which means an estimated $5 billion in profit came from Coke-branded beverages.
And dividends? Coca-Cola paid out a total of $8.36 billion in dividends to shareholders in 2024. If we again assume that ~47% of that came from trademark Coke, that's around $3.93 billion in dividends tied to the company's namesake drink.
That boils down to about $0.01036 in dividends per 8 oz serving of Coca-Cola sold.&nbsp;
Check Out: Wall Street has been quietly buying up equity in owner-occupied homes, and the strategy is kind of genius. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wall-street-quietly-moved-into-a-34-trillion-market-now-accredited-investors-can-too">Here's how one company is using it to produce 15%+ annual returns for its investors.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So What Does Buffett Get?</h2>
Berkshire Hathaway received $776 million in Coca-Cola dividends last year. That's nearly 9.3% of all dividends paid by the company, and it means Buffett earns roughly $0.00096 for every 8-ounce serving of Coke sold worldwide.
In other words, Buffett makes just under one-tenth of a penny every time someone drinks a Coke. It doesn't sound like much until you multiply it by nearly 400 billion.
And keep in mind, Buffett hasn't reinvested in Coca-Cola since the early 1990s. He still owns the same number of shares. But the dividend keeps going up.
Coca-Cola raised its dividend earlier this year and is expected to pay out a total of $2.04 per share in dividends in 2025. That increase marks 63 consecutive years of dividend growth, pushing Berkshire's annual yield on its original investment to nearly 63%.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">This Is What Passive Income Looks Like</h2>
Buffett's Coca-Cola investment is the textbook example of "money working while you sleep." He bought once, held forever and now collects over $2 million per day in dividends from a single stock.
That's the power of income-producing investments. When you own assets that generate consistent cash flow, you don't have to constantly chase gains or time the market.
You can find high-yield investments matching your individual goals with this <a href="https://www.marketvibe.app/quiz/high-yield-quiz">simple 30-second quiz</a>. You'll discover overlooked <a href="https://www.marketvibe.app/quiz/high-yield-quiz">passive investment ideas with 8%+ yields</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coca-Cola's Still Popping</h2>
Despite operating in a slow-growth industry, Coca-Cola remains one of the most reliable dividend payers on the market. The company is a member of the exclusive "Dividend Kings" list, companies that have raised their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years.
The stock currently trades at around $69, with a forward dividend yield of 2.93%. And Wall Street still sees some upside. This week, JPMorgan raised its price target on Coca-Cola from $77 to $79, signaling confidence in the company's long-term stability.
A 2.93% yield might not turn heads next to Buffett's 63%, but back in 1994, when Berkshire finished buying its shares, Coca-Cola's dividend yield was right around the same. The difference is Buffett held on for three decades and let time do the heavy lifting.
You might not make a penny every time someone buys a Coke. But with patience and a long-term vision, you can start building income that pays you while you sleep.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don't Pass Up Solid Growth To Chase Dividends</h2>
Not every great investment comes with dividends. Some quietly build value in the background, and offer even greater rewards to those who are patient. A perfect example of this is home equity. That's the strategy behind <a href="https://nada.sjv.io/c/1193480/3013486/19981">Homeshares</a> and the <a href="https://nada.sjv.io/c/1193480/3013486/19981">U.S. Home Equity Fund</a>. Investors gain access to the long-term upside of residential real estate, at an accelerated rate, with significant downside protection built in. It's a modern approach to wealth-building that doesn't depend on cash flow today, but on smart positioning for tomorrow.

Here's How Much Warren Buffett Pockets Every Time You Buy a Bottle of Coke

Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) will roll out a cane sugar–based Coke in the U.S. later this year and expects subsidiary Fairlife's capacity ramp to boost<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46566255/a-win-for-rfk-jr-and-maha-coca-colas-cane-sugar-variant-is-coming-to-america-this-fall-ceo-james-quincey-calls-it-an-enduring-option-for-consumers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> North American volumes and cash flow in 2026.</a>
BofA Securities analyst Peter T. Galbo reiterated the Buy rating on Coca Cola, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">raising the price forecast from $77 to $78.</a>
On Tuesday, the food and beverage giant reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of 87 cents per share, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46544443/higher-margins-sweeten-coca-colas-q2-yet-volume-struggles-persist" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the&nbsp;consensus of 83 cents.</a>

Net revenues grew 1% to $12.50 billion, almost in line with the consensus of $12.54 billion, and organic&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46539790/coca-cola-reports-second-quarter-2025-results-and-updates-full-year-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenues grew 5%</a>.
Galbo noted Coca‑Cola's second‑quarter earnings per share topped both his and the Visible Alpha consensus forecasts, leading the company to tighten its comparable EPS growth outlook to 3% year‑over‑year.
He adds that the stock lagged amid elevated expectations, weaker-than-anticipated unit case volumes and a broader market pullback, but that Coca‑Cola's strong margin performance in the first half and easier consumption comparisons into the third quarter should support relative outperformance through the rest of Staples earnings season.
After the beat, the analyst raises his full‑year 2025 EPS estimate to $2.97 (from $2.95).
Galbo forecasts third quarter earnings per share of 77 cents driven by 4.3% organic sales growth with volume outpacing concentrates by ~100 bps; gross margins expanding 40 bps to 61.6%; operating margins rising 80 bps to 31.5%; and a new cane sugar–based Coke slated for U.S. launch later this year.
Galbo notes that in 2026, the ramp‑up of Fairlife's new capacity should boost North America volumes and mix.
Past cash‑flow headwinds from the Fairlife contingency payment and transition taxes are set to reverse into tailwinds. This shift will improve liquidity and pave the way for excess cash returns, the analyst writes.
KO Price Action: Coca-Cola shares were trading lower at market close Wednesday by 0.67% to $69.16.

U.S. stock futures rose on Wednesday after ending on a mixed note on Tuesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher.
President Donald Trump finalized the long-anticipated trade deal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46562556/trump-says-550-billion-trade-deal-with-japan-reached-that-will-create-thousands-of-jobs-there-has-never-been-anything-like-it">between Washington and Tokyo</a>.

Insights From Analysts:
According to the analysts at BlackRock, markets are pricing in multiple Federal Reserve rate cuts over the next year. Yet they see &#8220;sticky inflation limiting rate cuts – even as renewed rate hikes are unlikely.&#8221;
The note stated that BlackRock&#8217;s preference is partly driven by caution on long-term bonds due to the lack of U.S. fiscal discipline and sticky inflation.
BlackRock further states that &#8220;We get selective across and within regions. We went overweight U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS): spreads are wider than historical averages and we could see some investors switch from long-term Treasuries. We upped local currency emerging market (EM) debt to neutral this month: it has weathered U.S. trade policy shifts, and debt levels have improved.&#8221;
Additionally, they highlighted the bottom line, stating that there was a mix of income opportunities, but they remain selective due to fiscal sustainability risks.
&#8220;Federal Reserve independence is important for investor confidence around the globe, in our view,&#8221; said Collin Martin, director, fixed income strategy, at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.
&#8220;We expect the Fed to lower rates gradually over the next year or so, which seems appropriate if the labor market gradually cools and inflation resumes its disinflationary trend towards 2%.&#8221;

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher As Trump Seals Japan Trade Deal — Tesla, AT&T, Texas Instruments Earnings On Deck

The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) is all set to launch the cane-sugar version of its flagship soft drink in the United States this fall, marking a significant shift in its formulation strategy.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KO" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">KO stock here.</a>
What Happened: During its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46544443/higher-margins-sweeten-coca-colas-q2-yet-volume-struggles-persist">second quarter earnings</a> call on Tuesday, the company&#8217;s CEO, James Quincey, confirmed the move, saying, &#8220;We're going to be bringing a Coke sweetened with U.S. cane sugar into the market this fall. And I think that will be an enduring option for consumers.&#8221;
The company notes that cane sugar isn&#8217;t new to its U.S. product line-up, with a presence across several existing products such as its lemonades, teas, coffee, and vitamin water drinks.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/07/46477802/buy-cane-sell-ingr-on-coca-cola-switching-to-real-sugar-a-tell-for-stock-market-from-trump">Buy CANE, Sell INGR On Coca-Cola Switching To Real Sugar, A Tell For Stock Market From Trump-Powell Drama</a>
Quincey sees the new cane sugar variant as part of a broader strategy to meet evolving consumer tastes. &#8220;We are definitely looking to use the whole toolbox, the whole toolkit of available sweetening options to some extent where there are consumer preferences,&#8221; he said.
The new variant is expected to complement Coca-Cola's existing lineup, not replace it, and serve as an option for differentiation for consumers.
Why It Matters: A week ago, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, saying that &#8220;I have been speaking to&nbsp;Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane&nbsp;Sugar in Coke in the&nbsp;United States, and they have&nbsp;agreed to do so.&#8221; Trump added that he felt this was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46457941/trump-says-coca-cola-has-agreed-to-use-real-cane-sugar-in-their-us-sodas-its-just-better">a good move</a>. &#8220;You&#8217;ll see. It&#8217;s just better,&#8221; he said.
This comes amid a growing push to Make America Healthy Again, spearheaded by Secretary of Health and Human Services,&nbsp;Robert Kennedy Jr. 
Nearly a year ago, Kennedy urged Americans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40453139/robert-kennedy-jr-says-if-you-want-to-drink-a-coke-drink-a-mexican-coke-heres-why">choose Mexican Coke</a> over its U.S. counterpart, citing its use of cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. &#8220;If you want to drink Coke, drink a Mexican Coke because they don't allow it down there,&#8221; he said.

S&P 500 Notches Another Record Close Following Earnings Reports; Investor Sentiment Edges Higher, Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

It was a quiet Tuesday on Wall Street, as major indexes edged lower with investors pausing ahead of a critical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">wave of tech earnings.</a>
By midday trading in New York, the S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.1% and the Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.5%, pulling back after hitting fresh all-time highs on Monday. The Russell 2000 outperformed, rising 0.6%.
Weak corporate results weighed on sentiment. Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) plunged 9.5% after missing revenue forecasts. Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) dropped more than 8% on a double miss, and General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) lost 5.5% after warning of a steeper-than-expected tariff hit in the second half of 2025.
Health care led sector gains, while tech stocks lagged, as attention turns to earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) which are slated to report earnings on Wednesday. 
On the macro front, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. will meet with Chinese officials next week to continue trade negotiations. That raised hopes for an extension to the August 12 China tariff deadline.
In the bond market, the 10-year Treasury yield fell for a fifth straight session to 4.33%, its lowest level in over a week. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index dropped 0.4%, extending its slide for a third day.
Gold climbed 0.9% to $3,420 per ounce, the highest since June 16, as uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's independence and Chair Jerome Powell's future fueled safe-haven demand.
In crypto, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 1.4% to $119,000, extending its rebound alongside broader market hedging flows.

Nasdaq Falls Over 100 Points; Coca-Cola Posts Upbeat Earnings

The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) on Tuesday reported mixed second-quarter 2025 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/25/07/46522985/coca-cola-q2-preview-will-warren-buffett-favorite-acknowledge-donald-trumps-sugar-push" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings and revenue</a>. The food and beverage giant reported adjusted earnings of 87 cents per share, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of 83 cents</a>.
Net revenues grew 1% to $12.50 billion, almost in line with the consensus of $12.54 billion, and organic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46539790/coca-cola-reports-second-quarter-2025-results-and-updates-full-year-guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenues grew 5%</a>. Revenue performance included a 6% growth in price/mix and a 1% decline in concentrate sales, which were in line with unit case volume. 
Operating margin was 34.1%, and comparable operating margin was 34.7%. Comparable operating margin expansion was driven by organic revenue growth, the timing of marketing investments, and effective cost management, partially offset by currency headwinds.

Sparkling soft drinks declined 1%. Trademark Coca-Cola declined 1%, as growth in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa was more than offset by a decline in Latin America.
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar grew 14%, driven by growth across all geographic operating segments. Sparkling flavors declined 2%, as growth in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa was more than offset by a decline in Asia Pacific.
Juice, value-added dairy, and plant-based beverages declined 4%, as growth in Latin America was more than offset by a decline in Asia Pacific.
Water, sports, coffee and tea was even. Water was even, as growth in Asia Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa was offset by a decline in Latin America. 
Sports drinks declined 3%, as growth in North America was more than offset by a decline in Latin America. Coffee grew 1%, primarily driven by growth in Asia Pacific. Tea was even, as growth in Europe, Middle East and Africa was offset primarily by a decline in North America.
This fall, as part of its ongoing innovation, the company plans to launch a new U.S. cane sugar-based offering in the United States, expanding its Trademark Coca-Cola product range to provide more choices. This announcement follows recent public commentary, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46457941/trump-says-coca-cola-has-agreed-to-use-real-cane-sugar-in-their-us-sodas-its-just-better">social media post</a> by President Donald Trump last week, indicating prior discussions and agreement on the change with company executives.
In the second-quarter earnings conference call, Coca-Cola&#8217;s CEO attributed volume declines in North America to continued uncertainty and pressure on some socioeconomic segments of consumers. 
Additionally, the CEO noted that early monsoon and geopolitical conflict during the summer season negatively impacted volumes in India. 
Coca-Cola&#8217;s CFO has indicated that the company no longer expects margins to be back-half weighted in 2025 due to strong margin expansion in the first half of the year.
The company has indicated that the headwinds it faced from Hispanic consumers are largely resolved. Earlier in 2025, Coca-Cola experienced a decline in sales among Hispanic consumers, particularly in the U.S. and northern Mexico.
This downturn was primarily driven by the spread of a false viral video on social media, which claimed the company reported undocumented Latino workers to immigration authorities. The controversy led to calls for a boycott and resulted in temporary volume declines, especially in southern U.S. states and border regions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Guidance</h2>
For fiscal 2025, Coke narrowed its outlook for comparable earnings per share growth to 3% versus $2.88 in 2024, the top end of the previously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45069925/coca-cola-boasts-q1-eps-beat-as-revenue-jumps-in-europe-middle-east-and-africa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">provided range of 2%-3%</a>.
The company reiterated its forecast that organic revenue will increase 5% to 6% in 2025. Coca-Cola expects to deliver comparable currency-neutral EPS growth of approximately 8%, compared to prior guidance of 7%-9%.
For the third quarter of 2025, Coke forecasts comparable net revenues to include an approximate 1% currency headwind. Comparable EPS percentage growth is expected to include a 5% to 6% currency headwind.
Price Action: At last check Tuesday, KO stock was trading lower by 0.86% to $69.47.

U.S. stock futures were fluctuating on Tuesday after ending on a mixed note on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.
Even as indices were mixed on Monday, the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq marked fresh records. Despite Aug. 1 as the &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46512424/howard-lutnick-says-trumps-august-1-tariff-hard-deadline-is-final-smaller-nations-face-10-base-rate">hard deadline</a>&#8221; for tariffs, U.S. trade deals are pending with several countries; however, the administration is willing to negotiate even after that date.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.39% and the two-year bond was at 3.86%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted in an X post that the S&amp;P 500 index broke a rare streak of closing above the 20-day moving average for 60 days in a row. This was its longest run since 1998.
He underscored that going back 50 years, this has happened four other times, and the index has been up a year later between 20% and 26% and never lower after three months of such an instance.

Meanwhile, economist Jeremy Siegel stated in his weekly commentary that Jerome Powell's continued presence at the Fed poses more downside risk than upside benefit.
"By stepping down voluntarily, Powell could preserve the Fed's credibility, disarm political hostility, and force Trump to fully ‘own' the economic outcome, whether good or bad," he said.
"If the economy weakens, it will be Trump's Fed Chair in place—there's no one else to blame. If the economy holds steady or improves, little would change in terms of perception, and the Fed's independence would remain intact," he added.
He explained that this is not a decision based on principle alone, but on expected value—the probabilities and outcomes suggest resignation strengthens the Fed's position over time.
Siegel adds, "Some will argue that resignation under political pressure would undermine the central bank's autonomy. I believe the opposite. A graceful, voluntary exit now could shield the institution from greater political intervention later."

PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) announced it plans to introduce a prebiotic cola under its flagship soda brand, a move aimed at reversing the declining sales of its beverages in the U.S.
What Happened:  The new product, Pepsi Prebiotic Cola, is expected to hit the market this fall. This development comes shortly after Pepsi acquires Poppi, a rising star in the prebiotic soda space, for $1.95 billion in May.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/PEP" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PEP stock here</a>.
This move is part of PepsiCo's effort to attract health-conscious consumers amid weakening demand for its drinks in North America, where beverage volume fell 2% in the second quarter.
Poppi and other emerging brands like&nbsp;Olipop&nbsp;have been successful in attracting health-conscious consumers with their gut-health claims, despite a general decline in soda consumption in the U.S.&nbsp;spanning the past two decades.&nbsp;
Pepsi's launch of a prebiotic soda reflects its broader strategy to capitalize on health-focused trends like protein and fiber, aiming to retain customers amid declining domestic demand for its beverages.
The new Pepsi Prebiotic Cola will contain&nbsp;three grams of prebiotic fiber, one gram more than Poppi&#8217;s soda, but significantly less than Olipop&#8217;s fiber content. It will also contain five grams of cane sugar, a departure from the corn syrup used to sweeten classic Pepsi in the U.S.

Why It Matters: The introduction of the prebiotic cola is part of Pepsi&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46486021/pepsicos-2-billion-healthy-snacks-portfolio-thrives-no-sugar-and-energy-drinks-gain-ahead-of-protein-beverage-launch">broader strategy </a>to adapt to changing consumer preferences. The company has been focusing on health-conscious products, evident in its $2 billion permissible snack portfolio, which has been performing well.
Despite the declining sales of its beverages in the U.S., Pepsi&#8217;s stock price has been showing signs of recovery. After a significant sell-off, the stock price hit historical lows, offering a buying opportunity. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/46510074/pepsico-bottomed-out-time-to-chugalug-this-blue-chip-buy">recent developments</a>, including the introduction of the prebiotic cola, could further boost investor confidence in Pepsi&#8217;s future performance.

PepsiCo To Launch Cane Sugar-Based Prebiotic Cola This Fall To Counter Declining Soda Consumption

The recent surge in high-beta stocks, including those in Jim Cramer&#8216;s &#8216;PARC&#8217; acronym, has raised concerns among analysts. JPMorgan&#8216;s strategist, Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, has issued a warning about the potential risks associated with this trend.
What Happened: The &#8220;PARC&#8221; stocks, a term coined by Cramer, are Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), Applovin Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>), Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>). These stocks are characterized by their momentum and tenuous links to traditional valuation metrics, as <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/palantir-coinbase-and-these-other-volatile-stocks-are-too-crowded-says-jpmorgan-heres-the-trade-to-make-instead-363caad2">per</a> a MarketWatch report.
The bank has identified a group of high-beta stocks. The list includes two of Cramer's PARC picks, Palantir and Coinbase, along with retail investor favorites like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)
Lakos-Bujas and his team at JPMorgan have pinpointed three occasions this year when investment style factors underwent &#8220;extreme crowding episodes.&#8221;&nbsp;They noted that the recent surge in high-beta stocks, which are more volatile than the market, is the fastest move from the 25th to the 100th percentile in three decades.
The latest episode, now at the 100th percentile, centers on high-beta stocks. The team believes that this overcrowding is not sustainable and poses a risk to the broader market. They also observed a decrease in short interest in high-beta stocks, suggesting that investors are not adequately hedged against potential selloffs.
&#8220;While&nbsp;some argue high-beta crowding could&nbsp;persist, we believe the current&nbsp;100%-tile crowding based on our&nbsp;quantitative analysis not only presents&nbsp;a risk for this crowded&nbsp;segment, but is also&nbsp;a red flag for the&nbsp;broader market implying there is&nbsp;rising complacency in the short&nbsp;term,&#8221; the JPMorgan team wrote.
As an alternative, the team suggests investors consider going long on&nbsp;Low Vol Aristocrats, which have&nbsp;underperformed the market by 19%&nbsp;since April 8.&nbsp;Their top five stocks in&nbsp;this category include&nbsp;Coca-Cola Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>),&nbsp;Allegion PLC&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLE#NYSE">ALLE</a>),&nbsp;Intercontinental Exchange Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>),&nbsp;CME Group Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CME#NASDAQ">CME</a>), and&nbsp;Cboe Global Markets Inc.&nbsp;(CBOE: CBOE).

Why It Matters: The &#8216;PARC&#8217; stocks have been a hot topic in the market, with Cramer&#8217;s new acronym sparking discussions. The stocks have been performing well, with Coinbase hitting a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46408794/parc-stock-coinbase-hits-100-billion-market-capitalization-as-bitcoin-rally-powers-crypto-linked-equities">market capitalization</a> of $100 billion&nbsp;and Robinhood showing&nbsp;strong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46419665/cramers-parc-playbook-robinhoods-breakout-potential-outshines-the-meme-stock-pack">technical performance</a>.
Meanwhile, Tech bull Daniel Ives has unveiled his top five stock picks for the second half of 2025, reaffirming his view that the "golden age of tech" is underway, driven by the accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.
In a post on X, Ives named Nvidia, Palantir Technologies, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Tesla as his top selections for the rest of the year.
However, JPMorgan&#8217;s warning about the potential risks associated with high-beta stocks could signal a shift in market sentiment. Investors may want to consider alternative strategies, such as low volatility stocks, which JPMorgan believes present an attractive risk/reward.
