Coca-Cola Positioned to Outperform Peers in Organic Sales Growth, Morgan Stanley Says

-- Coca-Cola (KO) is positioned to outperform peers in organic sales growth given its pricing power and solid volumes, Morgan Stanley said in a Wednesday note.

The company reported Q1 adjusted earnings Tuesday of $0.86 per share, up from $0.73 a year earlier, as revenue increased to $12.47 billion from $11.13 billion. For 2026, Coca-Cola expects organic revenue growth of 4% to 5% and comparable earnings growth of 8% to 9%.

Underlying organic sales growth in Q1 was 5% and Morgan Stanley said Coca-Cola could sustain this growth over the long term, well ahead of its peers. The investment firm noted Coke's structural pricing growth, the company's Fairlife business, and increasing volumes as drivers for organic sales growth.

Coca-Cola could also see catalysts from increasing Fairlife production capacity and "robust" pricing from rivals PepsiCo (PEP) and Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) the brokerage added.

Morgan Stanley raised its price target on Coca-Cola to $89 from $87, with an overweight rating.

瑞银表示，如果经济企稳，通用汽车2026年的业绩有望超过预期。

瑞银在周三发送的一份报告中指出，如果经济企稳，通用汽车(GM)有望超越其2026年的业绩预期，并且成本控制、电动汽车盈利能力、更优化的车型组合以及股票回购等因素有望推动其盈利在2027年进一步增长。报告称，投资者对大宗商品成本和需求风险的担忧忽略了通用汽车更强劲的执行力、灵活性和支出控制能力。瑞银表示，通用汽车的业绩展望略显保守，因为该公司并未在其业绩指引中纳入高利润皮卡和SUV可能进行的补货。瑞银指出，尽管美墨加协定(USMCA)贸易谈判并未纳入其业绩展望，但该谈判更有可能对通用汽车有利而非不利。瑞银维持对通用汽车的“买入”评级，并将目标价从105美元下调至102美元。Price: $76.08, Change: $-2.87, Percent Change: -3.63%
