The beverage giant Coca-Cola #totw1

An hour ago, Coca-Cola $KO published its quarterly figures and, in my opinion, significantly exceeded expectations. But what is behind this corporation anyway? Here are a few facts about the 265.909 billion € group (stock market value)!

1. In 2019, the beverage manufacturer sold beverages worth 37.27 billion USD and more than 1.9 billion beverages are sold by Coca-Cola every day. The dividend has increased annually for 60 years and the company has 79,000 employees.

2. a total of more than 230,000,000,000 beverage cans (not just Coke) are produced annually worldwide, with the largest consumers being the USA. Beverage cans have lost half their weight in recent years as wall thicknesses continue to thin. As a result, about 30% more beverages can be filled into one ton of tinplate today than 10 years ago. The production of a can for Coca-Cola thus costs around €0.08-0.09.

3. according to Coke, it would take a whole 10 years to try a different drink from Coca-Cola every day. The company's portfolio includes more than 3,800 different products. This makes Coca-Cola the world's largest supplier of non-alcoholic beverages

4 Did Coca-Cola invent Santa Claus? The company answers this question with a resounding "no." Coke didn't invent Santa Claus, but it did leave its mark on him. The illustrator Haddon Sundblom drew Santa Claus for a campaign and dressed him in the brand's colors.

Quiz question:

Quarterly figures

as usual at the moment, the mood before quarterly figures is often very pessimistic... At Mc Donalds it was somewhat different, due to the following: If people have less money, they save. This of course has an effect on "normal" goods, you can see this at Walmart: cheaper products with lower margins are bought. At Mc Donalds, however, this effect can be observed somewhat differently:

1️⃣. the group that can be seen on the stock exchange is more of a franchise group than a pure fast food giant, but it also profits directly from the fast food business. Only around 10% of the stores are managed directly by Mc Donalds

2️⃣. it is common, especially in the States, to eat out. One of the cheapest suppliers here is Mc. Donalds, so more is now consumed here

However, these "cost-cutting measures" mainly occur in the low to medium price range, people who already deliberately pay excessive prices in the normal case are usually less affected by inflation. m.M.n. you can currently see this effect at Hugo Boss, a recession is not really noticeable in the figures.

after the explanation but now to the real figures:

Adjusted earnings per share were expected at $2.46, the expectation was beaten by 3.6%, it was $2.55 per share.

In Q2 2021, however, adjusted earnings per share were 13.6% higher at $2.95. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the Group has to factor in the discontinuation of the business in Russia (i.e. a one-off loss of $1.2 billion); on the other hand, of course, costs have also increased.

On a positive note, however:

Like-for-like sales are growing by almost 10%. I can also report from my own experience:

Last week, thanks to my #berlin Last week, thanks to my trip, I passed several Mc Donald's branches and they were all packed...

The numbers break expectations and are accordingly bullish to read,

Europe🌍:

1. Lufthansa cancels more than 1,000 flights

Lufthansa German Airlines canceled more than 1,000 flights ahead of a one-day work stoppage by ground staff planned for Wednesday, just before families across Germany leave for summer vacation.

Strikes and staff shortages have already caused airlines, including Lufthansa, to cancel thousands of flights and caused hours-long queues at major airports, frustrating holidaymakers who wanted to travel after the COVID-19-related closures.

Quarterly figures:

McDonalds
$MCD

Despite a significant increase in sales in the second quarter, McDonald's has lost a lot of revenue decline due to high costs and the withdrawal from Russia. The Burger King rival reported Tuesday that profits fell 46% year over year to $1.2 billion. Unexpectedly, McDonald's increased like-for-like sales by 9.7%.

However, the group took special charges of $1.2 billion for abandoning its Russian business after the war in Ukraine. The giant fast-food chain is also still struggling with exorbitant expenses. Overall sales fell 3% to $5.7 billion. However, the stock initially responded with modest gains in premarket trading. In terms of global sales, McDonald's significantly beat forecasts.
