    Profit at Mexico's Femsa jumps almost six-fold in 4th quarter

    Mexican bottler and retailer Fomento Economico Mexicano reported an almost six-fold jump in fourth-quarter net profit on Wednesday, driven by more shopping at its vast Oxxo convenience store chain and growth in its fuel division. The conglomerate known as Femsa posted a 10.6 billion pesos ($539 million) net profit, compared with 1.8 billion pesos in the fourth quarter of 2017. Femsa said the results benefited from a favorable comparison with the previous fourth quarter, when earnings sank due to a change in the reporting of results for Femsa's Coca-Cola bottling unit in struggling Venezuela.

    Coca-Cola Stock Primed For a Quiet Comeback As Soda Gets Its Fizz Back

    Although the soft-drink giant Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) earned an unfortunate reputation as a boring investment, it now makes an attractive case. With multiple twists and turns in the economic and geopolitical landscape, KO stock provides a measure of stability. Conservative investors have long relied on its consistent dividends.Source: Leo Hidalgo via Flickr (Modified)The issue, though, was that the KO stock price went range bound for several years. But in 2018, the shares finally made good on their upside potential. After hitting bottom around mid-May, the beverage-maker gained nearly 17%. Coca-Cola stock ended the year up almost 7%, becoming one of the few names that weathered last October's market fallout.Much of the enthusiasm centered on the company's rebranding efforts. As millennials and later Generation Z emerged onto the scene, their health-centric behaviors dramatically changed the beverage market. Coca-Cola stock suffered while young consumers avoided carbonated, sugary drinks. To counter this trend, the company offered its own healthy alternatives, while face-lifting and spicing-up its traditional soft-drink portfolio.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsUnlike earlier efforts, management finally generated momentum. Despite several fundamental headwinds -- such as unfavorable currency fluctuations and the U.S.-China trade war -- Coca-Cola generated surprising growth. Was Q4 the Growth Story's End?It was a similar story for its most recent fourth-quarter 2018 earnings report. The company met its target for earnings per share at 43 cents, while its revenue haul of $7.06 billion beat the $7.03 billion consensus estimate. This time, though, the KO stock price took a beating following the report. * 10 Blue-Chip Stocks to Lead the Market Wall Street didn't care for the fact that management downgraded expectations for the full year 2019. Against a forecast calling for EPS of $2.22, Coca-Cola's brass expects to "range from 1% below or above $2.08."On paper, Q4 spelled the end of the growth story. Does it also spell the end of Coca-Cola stock? Soda isn't Dead and Neither is Coca-Cola StockI don't blame anyone from running away from KO stock. If you pay attention to industry news, you'll find a consistent theme: young consumers don't drink soda.Critically last year, I noted worrisome trend: both Coca-Cola and its principal rival PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) appeal to an older crowd. I wrote:The main challenge is shifting consumer tastes, especially among the younger demographic. Indeed, Coca-Cola and Pepsi have both unintentionally catered to a surprisingly old demographic. According to a 2016 Adweek report, Coke was most popular among people aged 35-to-44 years. The largest consumer base for Pepsi featured the plus-65 crowd.Sales stats indicate that Coca-Cola have moved the needle on demographics, especially with their slim, colorful Diet Coke packaging, That definitely helps in transitioning consumers back towards carbonated drinks.Another important point is that premonitions about soft drinks may have been premature. A year ago, Food & Wine reported that Slice soda -- a nineties phenomenon -- is making a comeback. Another blast from the past, Jolt Cola, has also returned to retail shelves.While it's too early to say whether these product resurrections will succeed, their return bodes positively for Coca-Cola stock. Logically, we can deduce that their respective backers see a viable opportunity. After all, Jolt Cola runs the tagline, "All the sugar and twice the caffeine."That's enough to make millennials run to their safe spaces! Yet here they are.Moreover, I don't think prospective buyers should assume that Slice and Jolt are isolated cases. Just recently, Coca-Cola announced that an orange-vanilla variant to their flagship brand. Yes, they'll leverage their massive financial resources to market the hell out of it.But they're doing it for a reason: consumers still love soda, and that's net positive for KO stock. KO Stock is an Underappreciated China OpportunityIf the soda market's potential resurgence wasn't convincing enough, KO stock also has a viable, under-the-radar opportunity in China. Primarily, Coca-Cola can leverage its world-renown branding, something very few companies can boast. * 9 High-Growth Stocks to Buy Now for Monster Returns Of course, branding alone won't guarantee success in China. Fast-food icon McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) has recently suffered frustrating spells in the world's second-biggest economy. Additionally, McDonald's and other American fast-food joints have found difficulty competing against local offerings.This is where Coca-Cola's much-criticized buyout of British coffee-shop chain Costa Coffee will likely benefit KO stock longer-term. Sure, management paid a hefty premium on Costa relative to what Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) earns. However, Starbucks isn't for sale.More importantly, both Starbucks and Costa compete aggressively in China. This makes sense considering that upwardly mobile Chinese millennials have embraced a coffee culture. But again, Starbucks isn't on the market. So the only way to effectively compete in the growing Chinese coffee market was through the Costa buyout; hence, the rich premium.Broadly speaking, the bears are overreacting to the immediate soundbites, which naturally hurt the Coca-Cola stock price. But if you take a step back, you'll see positive undercurrents. It just requires some patience for this narrative to play out.As of this writing, Josh Enomoto did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

    4 Large-Cap Stocks in Trouble

    U.S. equities are taking a breather on Tuesday as President Trump heads to Hanoi for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jung-un. Also weighing on sentiment are reports Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen will testify before Congress about alleged crimes committed by Trump during his time in the White House.With Democrats in the House itching for more dirt, the risk is that acrimony and allegation will eclipse any chance of stimulus measures such as infrastructure spending becoming law. * 10 Blue-Chip Stocks to Lead the Market At the same time, stocks are looking a bit overbought here after nine weeks of strong gains. A number of popular issues are rolling over amid bouts of profit taking. Here are four large-cap stocks to watch:InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Kraft Heinz (KHC) Click to EnlargeShares of Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) have been slammed lower in recent days -- down nearly one-third from recent highs -- after missing earnings expectations, suffering a spate of analyst downgrades, receiving notice from the SEC that its accounting practices were under investigation and attracting the ire of Warren Buffett, who admitted he overpaid for KHC stock.The company will next report results on May 23 after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of 72 cents per share on revenues of $6.2 billion. When the company last reported on Feb. 21, earnings of 84 cents per share missed estimates by 10 cents on a 0.7% rise in revenues. Coca-Cola (KO) Click to EnlargeShares of Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), another Warren Buffett favorite, have been slammed below their 200-day moving average for a total decline of 10% from the double-top high near $50. That returns prices to the middle of a three-year consolidation range. Analysts at Citigroup recently lowered their target and downgraded their rating on KO stock. * 10 Monthly Dividend Stocks to Buy to Pay the Bills The company will next report results on May 16 before the bell. Analysts are looking for earnings of 47 cents per share on revenues of $7.9 billion. When the company last reported on Feb. 14, earnings of 43 cents per share matched expectations on a 5.5% drop in revenues. Tesla (TSLA) Click to EnlargeTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are being hit with more drama from CEO Elon Musk, who has been taken to task by the SEC for tweets this week touting a very ambitious full-year production target. Elon subsequently tried to walk back his enthusiasm, but regulators are requesting a judge hold him in contempt anyway.TSLA stock is drifting lower in response, heading toward another retest of the 200-week moving average down about 10% from current levels. The company will next report results on May 1 after the close. Analysts are looking for a loss of 30 cents per share on revenues of $7.3 billion. When the company last reported on Jan. 30, earnings of $1.93 missed estimates by 9 cents on a 119.8% rise in revenues. Campbell Soup (CPB) Click to EnlargeAfter a marketing push to tout that soup is a meal was unsuccessful, shares of Campbell Soup (NYSE:CPB) are on the slide again, heading for a retest of recent lows near the $32-a-share threshold. CPB stock is down by roughly one-half from its late 2016 highs as management struggles to turn its business around. * 7 IPOs to Get Excited for in 2019 The company will next report results on Feb. 27 before the bell. Analysts are looking for earnings of 70 cents per share on revenues of $2.7 billion. When the company last reported on Nov. 20, earnings of 79 cents per share beat estimates by 8 cents on a 24.7% rise in revenues.As of this writing, William Roth did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
