Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) Coca-Cola’s CEO, James Quincey, is confident of achieving the full-year guidance and delivering strong top-line growth in 2022. Evercore ISI analyst Robert Ottenstein stated, “We see a positive set-up for KO over the next 1-2 years as mobility recovers, commodity inflation (presumably) peaks, and recession-worried investors move into Staples.” On TipRanks, KO stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 13 Buy and five Hold recommendations. Record high inflation, continued supply concerns, rising interest rates, geopolitical conflict, and the pandemic in the background point to a slowdown in the economy.
