PEPSI VS COCA-COLA
For me, these two stocks are on a high so far. However, when the time comes I would like to buy a few shares of either $KO+0.3% or $PEP+0.4%.
I've been looking at their financial statements and they look very similar and nice to me. I have to say that I like $PEP+0.4% better on some items and with the rise in share price, $PEP+0.4% is also doing better.

If I had to decide for myself, I would probably choose Pepsi. However, I haven't heard of anyone having Pepsi in their portfolio instead of $KO+0.3%.
I don't know if it's the name and reputation of Coca Cola, or if I've missed something fundamental.
I'd appreciate your opinion and your perspective on these two companies.
I would go for $PEP+0.4% they have a more diversified portfolio, there was a summary somewhere here on Bulios so be sure to check it out.
I am also leaning more towards $PEP+0.4% for now.
Otherwise, I'll definitely take a look.
I guess$KO+0.3% really only has an advantage in name.
I agree, the $KO+0.3% name is a real asset.
What is the one word the whole world knows? Yes, Coca-cola, Moat is clearly on the side of $KO+0.3% but personally I have to say that I also like $PEP+0.4% better in both stock and taste... :D
I agree, I look at it the same way.
On Bulios dividends we recently addressed this. With Pepsi, I like its diversification and products, but CocaCola has a strong edge in pricing power. Not an easy choice.
I must have missed that somehow, I'll be sure to track it down and check it out. But as you write, not an easy choice.
I guess it depends if you prefer drinks or food? PEP has 60% of its revenue outside of beverages.
Thank you for the new information, maybe it will help me in my decision :)
Both are good defensive options for the long term. I would have a hard time deciding which one to choose for my portfolio though.
This is exactly the situation I am in right now :) I have to say I can't choose.
I'll probably take the ETF, it would seem a bit safer https://www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00BWBXM385#overview
Yeah, thanks for the tip.
$KO+0.3% for me 24/7 👍
I have both :D I'm happy with both :)
This is also a possibility : )
