Jim Cramer Says Coca-Cola Consolidated is Good but He Prefers Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. (NASDAQ:COKE) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer weighed in on. A viewer called in to ask if Cramer had a change of heart about the company, and he replied:

“Well, see here’s the problem: Coca-Cola Consolidated, yeah, it’s a bottler, it’s good, but you know what? I like to buy Coca-Cola. I think James Quincey, his stock is actually coming down. It’s now selling at a market multiple. Quincey’s a really great CEO. It’s one of the few consumer packaged goods stocks that work. That’s my pick.”
