While visiting family in Europe last year I would say that Coca Cola far outweighs any other cola product or brand anywhere in Italy/Spain/Portugal and France. Like you if KO drops a bit in share price I'd be willing to pick it up at a discount.<br />-RichAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15066375500846820271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920573624021743728.post-76329956255113341002015-06-22T12:06:55.775-07:002015-06-22T12:06:55.775-07:00Agreed Keith,

I would like to see Coca-Cola make a few acquisitions as well keurig and Monster would be huge and add to their moat of already great companies. But until that price drops the purchase just doesn't make sense.Patrick Hamlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585960290302622040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920573624021743728.post-9193424649454851112015-06-22T11:43:27.443-07:002015-06-22T11:43:27.443-07:00Thanks for the review of the top three beverage ma...Thanks for the review of the top three beverage makers. I fully agree with you that while KO might be an awesome Buffett stock and it is in my portfolio currently, it does look a little too expensive based on earnings. I'd like to see this one go well below $40 before considering a buy.DivHuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02437642929198374070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920573624021743728.post-13211436736982960722015-06-22T10:51:01.838-07:002015-06-22T10:51:01.838-07:00I need to make some changes to this article as the...I need to make some changes to this article as the payouts conflict with a few other sources I have checked! Bad data seems to be all over the web these days, That being said I believe the payout is still near the 80% mark which is very high every for a company such as KO. From a short search on this KO makes much of its money internationally while PEP makes most of its profits from within the US. Approx 80% of KO's profits are international while PEP is only around 40%. Also it can be noted the DPS only has 10% of its profit internationally. I much perfer the KO company to both the others based on their share in Monster energy and the Keurig brand, but I will need a pullback before I initiate a position there.<br /><br />Thanks for the View!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />PatPatrick Hamlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585960290302622040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920573624021743728.post-78631462168335345992015-06-22T10:34:15.412-07:002015-06-22T10:34:15.412-07:00Very nice review - taking into account market comp...Very nice review - taking into account market competitors isn't often seen but this shows that perhaps KO is over extended with a 94% payout ratio. Would you happen to know what their respective Canadian/U.S. market share looks like Coca Cola vs Pepsi vs Snapple ?<br />-RichAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15066375500846820271noreply@blogger.com
