Will Water Wash Away The Coca-Cola Company (KO)’s Potential?

On the whole, Coca-Cola shareholders can rest easy. Even with the rising demand in bottled water and declining demand in soda, Coca-Cola still sits on a diversified portfolio of products on which it can fall back, although it will need to fight harder to keep consumer interest. Moreover, Coca-Cola can leverage its distribution system to competitively price the more commoditized juice, tea, and water. In addition, parts of the world actually still await the introduction of the tasty soda the rest of the world currently knows and enjoys, serving as a catalyst for future growth in sparkling beverages. The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) will remain the beverage king for some time.
