More From Adam Fleck

The narrow-moat firm's shares now trade at a substantial discount to our fair value estimate, due in part to recent market share challenges in its craft beer and cider portfolios.

Productivity has been a primary driver of margin expansion at the wide-moat beverage-maker, and we expect it, along with continued pricing strength, to drive margin improvement for the next few years.

First-quarter revenue growth for the wide-moat beverage maker trailed our full-year estimates, but we expect growth to increase later in the year, writes Morningstar's Adam Fleck.

Coke’s third-quarter was marked by positive pricing trends, encouraging volume expansion and solid profitability, but its shares are fairly valued, writes Morningstar’s Adam Fleck.

The beverage behemoth continues to capitalize on its already-strong share position and sizable distribution network even as a strong dollar weighs on reported results, writes Morningstar analyst Adam Fleck.

Positive net pricing drove nearly the entirety of the firm's 5% second-quarter organic revenue growth year over year, while volume growth slowed to a halt.

Growth is likely to slow later in the year, but we believe continued productivity enhancements and growth opportunities should support high-single-digit earnings growth over the long run.

Brand image, North American still-beverage growth, and emerging-market carbonated-beverage growth support Coca-Cola's wide moat.
