Coca-Cola is a global beverage company that manufactures and markets concentrates, syrups, and finished products of soft drinks, waters, juices, and other non-alcoholic beverages through an extensive bottling system. Coca-Cola maintains a solid moat with a 42.05% ROE and a 34.87% operating margin, although its valuation (P/E 26.37, EV/EBITDA 24.00) already discounts these strengths.
