Coca-Cola (KO), the main rival to PepsiCo (PEP), closed higher by nearly 1.6% while the Dow received a beating. Shares of the beverage giant settled at $54.08. The market gave its approval to the company's latest earnings report.
I have Coke in my portfolio as a long-term holding, and I was pretty satisfied with the numbers. What I want from a quarterly report is an indication that the business continues to remain on a stable track to deliver quality future cash flows (I'm not expecting anything too exciting, for the most part). I believe investors essentially got that on Wednesday.
