Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is one of the most recognisable brands on the planet, selling over 1.9 billion drinks per day. As a blue chip stock and a dividend aristocrat with strong pricing power and global reach - it’s a defensive investment ideal for uncertain times.
However, shifting consumer preferences towards healthier options could impact long-term growth, requiring continued product innovation or acquisitions like with Coke’s past purchase of Innocent Drinks. Buying Coca-Cola shares could add some fizz to your portfolio, or things might go flat.
February 21, 2025: Coca-Cola Co. warned that policies that could lead to a less diverse global workforce pose a potential risk to its business going forward, according to Fortune.

All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Coca-Cola), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Coca-Cola is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
