PEP's international momentum, led by strong beverage sales, localization and supply chain investments, fuels optimism despite U.S. softness and FX headwinds.
Coca-Cola earns a BUY rating due to superior profitability, growth sustainability, and business model efficiency compared to PepsiCo, which is rated HOLD. KO's focused beverage model, higher net margins, and efficient cost structure give it a clear edge over PEP's diversified, capital-intensive operations. Both companies have manageable debt and similar solvency, but KO outperforms PEP in EPS growth and stability, reinforcing its investment appeal.
There's a predicament when it comes to investing because the best companies to buy aren't always the ones that investors are buying. Sometimes, emotions get the better of Wall Street, and stocks are bid up to levels that are hard to justify.
