Stock Analysis
• Fundamentally, Coca-Cola has done a fantastic job at improving metrics that are commonly
associated with business success.
• Between 2000-2018 the company has grown earnings-per-share from $0.74 to $2.00, which is
equivalent to a CAGR of 6.9%.
• Looking back even further, Coca-Cola’s EPS in 1985 was $5.51. However, due to a series of stock
splits, each shareholder of Coca-Cola stock in 1985 would effectively own 48 shares today. This
means that 1985’s EPS measured in today’s number of shares would be $0.11 (which is $5.51
divided by 48). Doing the math, Coca-Cola has compounded EPS at a CAGR of 10.2%, a very high
rate of earnings growth.
• This growth in the underlying business has translated to phenomenal returns for Coca-Cola’s
shareholders. Historically, the company has been a tremendous investment, delivering returns
well in excess of the S&P 500 Index.
