Coca Cola`s (KO) Global volume rose 1% during Q4, they told us in their reports yesterday. They have a solid growth for its Powerade brand in North America. Beverages are still doing it well. Coca Cola is still a dominant consumer beverage company, trades at a forward PE of 15,4 and offers a dividend yield of close to 3%.
Market cap of $167B with revenues of $48B and a gross margin in excess of 60%. Net income of $9B. They have a massive distribution network and are able to distribute products globally to any corner of the world.
Zynga (ZNGA) was trading at $14,39 in March 2, 2012. It jumped +5,75% yesterday, now trading at $5,15. Zynga said they will cut their workforce by 15%. On top of that, they are buying NaturalMotion for $527 million. Is this the year Zynga makes a comeback?
Remember in 2012 when the company bought OMGPOP. The rival game maker slowly died and Zynga shut it down only one year after buying it. Will the latest purchase of NaturalMotion share the same fate?
There ain`t no doubt that 2013 was the year for Tesla (TSLA) and Elon Musk. They had a massive stock growth, media coverage, and everybody was talking about the «new» car. Elon Musk is often compared to Steve Jobs due to his innovation.
The Model S is an incredible success with their technology, safety, luxury and EV. When you look at the stock price for Tesla compared to the company’s true value, I belive 2014 will be something different from 2013.
Don`t get me wrong. I like the car and I am bullish in the long run, but sometimes in the long term bullish trend channel, we will see some corrections. The price of the stock has outpaced the progress that the company has made.
