KO's high valuation raises eyebrows, while its focus on innovation and digital expansion, brand power and market momentum fuel its long-term investment appeal.
In 1Q25, Coca-Cola's revenue fell by 1.51% to $11.13 billion. However, operating efficiency improved tremendously. Operating margin expanded to 32.88% from 18.95% in the same period last year. Due to macroeconomic uncertainty and poor consumer sentiment, the Company is expected to see revenue headwinds from end demand destruction. It is important to note that KO has a highly insulated, localized business model. Moreover, the company is still poised to further expand margins.
Coca-Cola remains a resilient, diversified beverage giant with strong execution and organic growth, outperforming PepsiCo in recent years. Despite robust fundamentals and a healthy dividend, current valuation offers little margin of safety for new investments or portfolio additions. My DCF analysis suggests only an 8% annual return at present prices, with much success already priced in and limited upside potential.
