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.”

“No, no… no, we’re not going there. That’s just, doesn’t have it. It’s down 10% for the year, and that actually makes sense. It does not have, a technical term that I like to use periodically that I learned at Goldman Sachs, the mojo. It doesn’t have it.”
