Alternative ways to invest in Coca-Cola
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Coca-Cola), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Coca-Cola is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Coca-Cola under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Coca-Cola P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Coca-Cola's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 25x. In other words, Coca-Cola shares trade at around 25x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Coca-Cola's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS.US): 20.17
- PepsiCo (PEP.US): 26.72
- Nestlé S-A (NESN.SW): 22.22
- Fevertree Drinks (FEVR.LSE): 81.90
Coca-Cola's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.9336. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Coca-Cola's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Coca-Cola's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS.US): 2.23
- PepsiCo (PEP.US): 2.78
- Nestlé S-A (NESN.SW): 2.34
Coca-Cola's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $14.4 billion (£11.6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Coca-Cola's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS.US): USD$1.6 billion
- PepsiCo (PEP.US): USD$16.4 billion
- Nestlé S-A (NESN.SW): CHFCHF18.2 billion
- Fevertree Drinks (FEVR.LSE): £28.8 million
