The stocks of The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) and PepsiCo. Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) are a source of debate between value and growth investors. In 2025, KO stock clearly holds the upper hand. The stock is up 14.5%, which is above the sector average. PEP stock is down 13.5% and trading near 52-week lows.
However, while momentum is on the side of Coke, Pepsi may be a more refreshing choice for investors.
