美国的茅台股票。现在正处于盘整期间等待突破。（july 20， 2020 ）
The Coca-Cola Company is an American multinational beverage corporation headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The Coca-Cola Company has interests in the manufacturing, retailing and marketing of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups. The company produces Coca-Cola, invented in 1886 by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton. In 1889 the formula and brand were sold for $2,300 to Asa Griggs Candler, who incorporated The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta in 1892.
The company—headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, but incorporated in Delaware—has operated a franchised distribution system since 1889: the Company largely produces syrup concentrate, which is then sold to various bottlers throughout the world who hold exclusive territories. The company owns its anchor bottler in North America, Coca-Cola Refreshments. The company’s stock is listed on the NYSE and is part of DJIA and the S&P 500 and S&P 100 indexes. The Coca-Cola Company is the world’s largest producer of plastic waste (frequently disposed of improperly by consumers), producing over 3 million tons of plastic packaging each year including 110 billion plastic bottles.
Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) remains a fizzy dividend stock. The company’s board of directors has declared a new quarterly common stock dividend of $0.41 per share. That amount matches the previous two payouts; prior to those, the company had paid $0.40 per share. The upcoming dividend is to be handed out on Oct. 1 to stockholders of record as of Sept. 15, and at current share prices, yields about 3.5%. (July 17, 2020 )
The was hardly an unexpected development: Coca-Cola is one of the steadiest and most reliable dividend payers among blue-chip stocks.
In fact, the mighty beverage company is a Dividend Aristocrat, one of the few S&P 500 companies that has raised its distribution at least once annually for a minimum of 25 years running. Actually, after having lifted its payout for 58 consecutive years, it qualifies for an even rarer title: Dividend King. Only 30 public companies with payout-raising streaks of 50 years or more can claim that distinction.
Still, Coca-Cola has not had it easy in recent years, due to the increasing health consciousness of consumers around the globe and the resulting trends toward healthier eating and drinking. The company has tried to adapt to that by pushing into beverages that are better for the body than its sugar-laden signature drink, but this hasn’t always been a winning strategy. Earlier this month, for example, it pulled the plug on its Odwalla juice brand.
Regardless, Coca-Cola remains one of the most powerful cash generators on the market, thanks to its persistently popular core soft drink products and its relatively modest capital expenditures. It should remain a widely held dividend stock.
Coca-Cola Earnings Preview: No Growth, No Problem
It is time for Coca-Cola (KO) to report the results of its second quarter 2020. The company will do so while its stock remains stuck in second gear. The recovery off the March 23 bottom lasted a mere two weeks, at which point shares traded at the same 20% below peak levels that it does today.
Regarding financial performance, analysts are betting on a revenue wipeout: 27% YOY decline to $7.26 billion. Adjusted EPS of $0.41, if achieved, would also point at sharp deterioration over 2019, in this case by nearly 35%.
A tough quarter ahead
These subdued analyst expectations, to put it mildly, suggest that Coca-Cola is about to report on what could be the worst quarter of its 100-year-old history as a public company. At the same time, the gloomy projections are aligned with CEO James Quincey’s early observations of the second period, shared back in April:
If we look at our April month-to-date trends we are seeing volumes down globally approximately 25% driven by the sharp declines in our away-from-home businesses. Fortunately based on the latest projections, we do expect the second quarter to be the most severely impacted.
I would note, however, that the first two weeks of the quarter may have been the most challenged within the period. As a reminder, Westerns economies began to reopen right around that time, and not all of them had the same problems ramping up as the US did. Coca-Cola could benefit from it relative to expectations, as about 70% of its sales take place outside its home continent.
What I find a bit easier to predict is that operating expenses will drop sharply as the company goes on defense. Coca-Cola has already anticipated that it would focus on some of its biggest brands in tough times and pause its big marketing campaigns. Both moves should be supportive of margins, which is the silver lining in an otherwise tough environment for the beverage giant.

业绩公布当天，股票增长2%，但随后下降。KO七月二十一号公布财报。应该和百事可乐一样优秀。所以，明天七月二十号应该在46元左右进入KO。在48-50期间获利了结。
报告显示，百事可乐（PEP.US）第二季度净营收159.45亿美元，较市场预期高4.8亿美元，去年同期为164.49亿美元，同比下降3%；归属于公司的净利润为16.46亿美元，去年同期20.35亿美元；摊薄后每股收益为1.18美元，较市场预期低0.05美元，去年同期为1.44美元。
该公司预期核心有效税率约为21%，向股东的现金回报总额约为75亿美元，包括股息55亿美元和股票回购20亿美元。此外，基于当前市场共识利率，百事可乐预计外汇折算的不利因素将对已公布的净营收和核心每股收益表现产生3个百分点的负面影响。
百事可乐表示，鉴于公共卫生事件对公司业务造成的持续不确定性，公司暂不提供2020财年的业绩指引。
