Coca-Cola (KO) Shares Approach Record Highs Amid Market Volatility

Despite a turbulent week for equities, Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) shares have demonstrated resilience, edging closer to their all-time peak. Over the past week:​

• The S&P 500 Index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) declined by approximately 3%.
• PepsiCo (PEP) shares fell by over 1%.
• Coca-Cola (KO) shares rose by around 2.4%
  

Factors Supporting KO’s Outperformance

Coca-Cola’s relative strength may be attributed to its domestic production of beverage concentrates in Atlanta, USA. In contrast, PepsiCo’s similar operations are based in Ireland, potentially exposing it to recent tariff policies implemented by the Trump administration. These tariffs have disrupted traditional investment strategies and impacted market dynamics.

Additionally, media reports suggest that Diet Coke is a preferred beverage of the current U.S. President, possibly influencing public perception and investor sentiment.​

Technical Outlook for KO Shares

In 2025, KO shares have been trading within an ascending channel. Currently, the price is approaching key resistance levels:​

• The upper boundary of the ascending channel.
• The $73 mark, a level near historical highs where bulls have previously struggled to maintain momentum.​

The upcoming quarterly earnings report, scheduled for 29 April, could serve as a catalyst for further price movement. Analysts forecast earnings growth of 8.4% and revenue growth of 4% per annum, with a projected return on equity of 42.7% over the next three years.
