Ok, here is one i'd like to open for discussion....
Pepsi Vs Coke. (the grand ole debate) but not about flavor! hah
Looking at their current info, they are nearly the same price, dividend is +0.35% in Pepsi's favor.
Total return:
Pep: 3.6%/34.3%/12.6%
KO: 12.4%/87.7%/73.3%
So, going out to the 5yr mark, looks like Coke is the clear total growth winner... but, looking at the 10 yr mark (which, i dont see Schwab has that graph):
Since 1999:
Pep: 87%
KO: 28.7%
The 10 yr charts between the two show that Coke had a very rough patch from 2000 to 2010 when they finally "broke" above their 1999 price.
That seems to me, that PEP, while doesnt have the current growth KO has over the past 5 years, they seem to be much more stable, and more "heading in the right direction".
Whats the census say?
