Coca-Cola Stock's October Comeback: 52-Week Low To Recovery
Portfolio Pulse from Henry Khederian
Coca-Cola Co (KO) shares have recovered by 7.8% from their lowest point in October, reaching $56.49. The volatility in the stock was possibly due to comments from Walmart (WMT) suggesting weight-loss drugs are impacting food sales and the potential impact of rising yields on dividend stocks. In Q3 FY23, Coca-Cola achieved year-on-year sales growth of 8%, surpassing analyst estimates. However, potential interest rate increases could raise Coca-Cola's cost of capital and reduce the current value of the company's future cash flows, potentially leading to a drop in its stock price.
