Subject: Re: considering coat tailing OXY
I was just having a look at coca cola too and surprised to see that in 2010 it was $2.53 per share and for 2023 $2.47, also in ref to the nestle discussion on the falling knives where EPS hasn't grown much. KO share price in 2010 was in the low 30s compared to 70 now.

2010 was an exceptional year for Coca Cola. Up until 2010, KO never earned over $10B, but suddenly in 2010, it experienced over 60% earnings growth and earned $14.97B. After 2010, earnings settled down for a decade or so. The next time it reached $14B was in 2021, 2023, and 2024 (est).
