Jim Cramer on Coca-Cola Consolidated: “I Would Hold On to It”

Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ:COKE) is one of the 16 stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. A caller asked about COKE, and in response, Cramer said:

“You know… It doesn’t have the yield that people want. I think it’s a really good company. It is very intriguing to me because the distribution is a really good business. I would hold on to it just because I think the distribution business, not because it’s necessarily good right now, but I do know that long term, it’s been a good one…”
