Dara Mohsenian has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Coca-Cola’s potential for sustained growth. One of the primary reasons is Coca-Cola’s strong pricing power, which has been bolstered by effective marketing, innovation, and solid execution. This pricing strength is expected to drive higher long-term organic sales growth compared to its peers, particularly in emerging markets where Coca-Cola has a significant presence. Additionally, the company’s historical volume growth and strategic focus on balancing volume and pricing across different geographies further support this positive outlook.
Dara Mohsenian also points to the promising expansion opportunities for Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand as a significant contributor to future growth. With new production capacities expected to come online by the end of 2025, Fairlife is poised to introduce more innovation and a broader range of products, which could add substantial value to Coca-Cola’s overall growth. Furthermore, the evolving relationship with Monster Beverage Corporation is seen as another potential area of opportunity, enhancing Coca-Cola’s position in the global energy drink market. These factors collectively underpin the Buy rating, suggesting a favorable long-term growth trajectory for Coca-Cola.
