Coca-Cola Company (KO) Shares Trade Near All-Time High
Stock market charts indicate that from the start of last weeks trading through to its close:
The S&P 500 Index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) declined by approximately 3%;
Pepsico (PEP) shares dropped by more than 1%;
Coca-Cola Company (KO) shares rose by around 2.4%.
Why Arent Coca-Cola Shares Falling?
The relatively strong performance of Coca-Cola (KO) shares compared to the broader market and its main competitor may be attributed to the fact that Coca-Cola operates a concentrate production facility in Atlanta, USA. In contrast, Pepsicos equivalent production is based in Ireland. This gives Coca-Cola a potential advantage under the tariff policies pursued by the Trump administration.
Incidentally, according to media reports, Diet Coke is the favourite drink of the US President.

It is possible that the upcoming quarterly earnings report, scheduled for 29 April, could provide a positive catalyst for KOs share price.
