#7 - Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO)
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) - Coca-Cola fits the model of a stock that moves upwards, albeit sometimes in fits and starts that is consistent with the beverage industry. Like virtually every player in this space, KO is turning the classic image of a soft drink company on its head. And with brands such as Dasani water, Zico coconut water, and Honest T tea in their portfolio, there's room for growth without relying on the fluctuations that can come from their iconic brand. Sales and earnings continue to grow and propel the stock forward. Over the past several years, the stock has had some sharp pullbacks, but in every case, it has led to the stock ascending to higher highs. The future continues to look bright as Warren Buffett's investment firm Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) recently announced it was maintaining a sizable stake in the manufacturer. There is also speculation that KO will be one of the first beverage makers to introduce CBD products that will tap into the growing cannabis market.
