Valuing The Coca-Cola Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of The Coca-Cola Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
The Coca-Cola Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, The Coca-Cola Company shares trade at around 26x recent earnings.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into The Coca-Cola Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

The Coca-Cola Company's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
