Coca-Cola Is Better Than PepsiCo For Tariff-Related Uncertainty

  • Coca-Cola's stock has recovered from tariff impacts due to its domestic syrup production and flexible franchise model, making it a better buy. PepsiCo faces higher tariff exposure and operational complexity due to its reliance on imported concentrate and broader product mix, including snacks. Both companies are innovating with health-oriented products and smaller packaging to address shifting consumer preferences and economic pressures.
