KO Earnings: Dark Pool Rotation vs. BuybacksCoca Cola has been in a major buyback mode for its stock in an attempt to move the price up. The buybacks have faced heavier than normal Dark Pool rotation (large lot selling) against the automated buyback orders. Recently the buybacks have increased, creating some interesting anomalies in the large lot indicators as well as in price patterns. Retail traders, who trade this stock heavily, are often fooled by buyback candlestick patterns. Institutional holdings has declined, which is unusual during a buyback mode.

Coca Cola: Could re-franchising boost Q4?By Andria Pichidi - February 14, 2019
The Coca-Cola Company is one of the top global key players in the beverage industry based and established in the USA since 1886. The firm is in charge of the manufacturing (by franchisees), retailing and marketing of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups.
The billion-dollar beverage giant ranked by Forbes as the World’s 3rd Largest Public Company for 2018 in the beverage industry after Anheuser-Busch InBev and PepsiCo, reports its quarterly earnings later today prior to the open of the New York trading session.
The shares have been in high demand following the December low at $45.64, closing yesterday at $49.67, just a breath below the 6-year peak area at $50.00-$50.77 area (9-week high and 6-year high). The rally from December 26 represents a gain of some 9%, while Coca Cola shares were marked as one of the best performing Dow stocks over the last year with a nearly 19.5% increase since 2018’s low price at $41.52.
Regarding today’s earnings report release for Q4 2018, the consensus recommendation is “buy”, according to a poll of analyst by Reuters, with 13 out of 24 analysts having a Buy recommendation for the stock (the rest a Hold recommendation) with a median target of around $51.50 and mean target at $52.02 as given by Thomson Reuters Eikon. (2018).
Coca Cola (NYSE:KO) is expected to have $0.49 in Earnings Per Share for Q4 according to Reuters which represents a nearly 25% since the reported EPS a year ago. The ZacksInvestment on the other hand suggests an EPS at $0.43, which represents a nearly 10% since the reported EPS a year ago. Meanwhile, QTR Revenue is expected to be released at $7.03 billion, which will end the fiscal year with $31.91 billion, based on Forbes forecasts.
The Coca Cola earning report for Q4 is expected to present growth for the company, as despite the world’s health concerns over soda consumption the last few years, the company is likely to continue benefiting from the introduction of a renovated Coke Zero into Coca Cola Zero Sugar during Q3 2017. The company faced an impressive increase of its revenue, due to the spike in sales of Zero Sugar.
Meanwhile, the deleverage is ready to innovate new flavors effective by February 25. As he company reported, they will offer Orange Vanilla Coke and Orange Vanilla Coke Zero Sugar in the US market. After over a decade, the company is offering a new flavor under its trademark Coca-Cola brand. Nevertheless, another factor that could positively affect the company’s earnings could be the large-scale re-franchising of the company’s bottling business, coupled with lower tax expense for the year, as Forbes stated.
Technically, the current Coke price action has posted a reversal of more than 76.4 % of the losses seen since November 2018. The price declined in 2018 due to consumer health concerns that reduced demand and a surge in production but also due to the $40 million reinvestment of cost savings in Australia.
This rebound from $45.20 lows in December, has turned the medium term outlook to a positive one. The stock is trading in the upper Bollinger Band pattern (weekly and daily) holding a floor above the 23.6% set since 2012 drift, for a 5th month in a row.
Immediate Resistance holds at the round $50.00 level, while a break of it, along with the increasingly improving Momentum indicators, suggests that there is plenty of underlying demand to protect the asset and to boost it to a 6-year high at $50.77.
In the daily chart, RSI has flattened at 60 area, while MACD lines have crossed higher indicating an increasing positive momentum in the near future. Immediate Support for the asset is set at $49.45 (last week’s peak). Next Support holds at $48.80, the 61.8% Fib. level.

Coca Cola #KO american stock buy opportunities at demand levelsCoca Cola #KO american stock weekly and monthly demand levels in control. This is an update to a previous analysis done last December 1st 2018 where we were planning to buy Coca Cola stock at weekly and monthly demand levels located at around $46.
Stock price has retraced to these imbalances and playing out for now. We do not take into consideration any stock earnings or fundamentals, we do not need fundamental analysis in order to make a trading decision based on supply and demand imbalances.
If you still want to take into consideration fundamentals, you can do it of course, it's just another layer of complexity and variable that must be added to your trading plan. Last four earning releases were negative on Coca Cola stock, that didn't stop monthly and weekly demand zones to gain control and start playing out. These earnings releases and fundamentals help price move and retrace to supply and demand imbalances where we should be planning to take our trades, but only if these levels score high. We just want high probability setups.
If you are interested in trading options using supply and demand, this was a good spot to buy long term long calls or other option strategies that you might be using. It's all about location, location, location. We have strong levels of demand, going long buying long calls or similar strategies is the way to go on Coca Cola #KO american stock.
KO - Coke going for the knockoutI see a long to the 786 range coming up there's confluent ideals showing that we go to this range. I am not sure if this happens by the 25th or if we'd need to go into next week. Right now there's tons of strength in the move but the indicators are topping out some in the 1hr and lower frames. A stop at the 618-65 range first before pulling back a little then shooting for the 786 is a high probability.
Coca-Cola looking for...Coca-Cola looking for 200 ma rejection or even lower? >56% chances to go lower.

Trade Idea on CokeCOKE is done well in October and November rally and pull back to the 20 EMA and a rally and a pull back to the higher low to the 20 EMA. This is a good bullish setup for about a $1 or approximate.
Trade Set up with an
Entry at $49.70,
Targets for $51.50 and up to $52.50 with a
Stop at $48.80.
This is a bullish trade set up and traders can either buy Long calls for January or February 2019, buy LEAP calls for January 2020, buy the stock.
Technical analysis was driven by Fibonacci to predict the targets and with a 3:1 risk reward
If KO continues trend, Nov 30 calls will 10xNov 30 calls at strike $51.50 are $0.10. If KO continues it's trend from October 26th to Nov 30, KO calls at strike $51 will reach $1 for an upside of 10x. Since KO is only 1% from the bottom of it's trend, one could sell at a 50% loss tomorrow if it breaks it's trend for a resulting Risk/Reward of 0.50/10. In my analysis, this play has a 20x greater reward than risk.
Are we at a top on Coca Cola?Short term have been trading this up as the patterns have been nice for small bullish moves. Now we're at the top of the weekly ascending channel/wedge/expanding diagonal & have had many waves of bearish divergence with no real breakout to the upside for over 6 years. This is the time to start looking for sell setups (one is presenting itself on the 15 min) That setup will be in the comments!
Structurally this can have a big downside. Will it happen? Who knows, if it happens... id like to be in the trade.
What are your opinions!?
Trade responsibly and thanks for looking!
COCA-COLA EUROPEAN-on watchlist - possible outcomes
#Ressistance reached#
watch for possible fall on support near
1.FIB.23 (near)
2.FIB.38 (hardly to happen)
3.FIB.05 (dont even think of it,they posted some pozitive news for future) :)
US stock market crash. The coca cola example.I was thinking of investing in a farm (purely theorical), and farms are probably undervalued since:
- They are not shiny new high tech stuff, they are muddy and have this "poor" feeling surrounding them (XD)
- You have bad years and good years (and people are too dumb to hedge)
This would probably be the second best investment, second only to stocks of ACTUALLY VALUABLE AND PROFITABLE companies that got massively panic sold, way below their "real value".
If 40$ shares of Coca-Cola give you 0.15$ divendends quarterly, so 0.6$ yearly, that is a ROI of 1.5%, pretty crap. Bonds will pay more and 100% safe (student loans are actually as safe and pay even more I think lol, poor little US students, you fell for it, enjoy debt for life).
Now, since the investment is really bad, people get rid of it, people that bought low also sell, which is normal, and it corrects.
But it overcorrects, dumb money that want to get rich quick sells. The stock is down to 20$ a piece. Dividends are 22 cents that year.
Your ROI will be at 0.22*4 : 20 = 4.4%. It's quite decent. And a good value investor knows it would go up.
But when it gets really crazy is in 2009. Dividends were 38 cents the past year, ok so at the start of the years earnings were not that good,
which might have meants lower dividends. Us charyters knew better as the chart in the weekly showed bullish divergence.
Dividends are displayed when the stock is at 21$. Still even less than past year would be good.
You buy at 20$ based on charting as well as common sense. It is a big company worldwide it won't disappear overnight.
Guess what your ROI is that year? 1.64/20 = 8.2%
This is better than the S&P or pretty much anything. And it was so easy to buy it there.
Of course what happened next?
And now, the dividends are at 39 cents... Yearly 1.52/46.6$ share = 3.34% ROI...
I think us bonds are at 2.5% now? Coca cola break even with bonds if shares get priced 60$. If bonds don't go higher.
Not very interesting on an investment perspective.
It seems logical to think buying pressure will go down and the bull market will tip over, but the charts will probably let us know that in advance.
Probably it will go up with divergence on the monthly chart or something, and crash in 2019. There always are very clear warnings, impossible to miss.
If you look at the 80's, 10 year treasury rates were crazy high, above 10%, BUT dividends were insane...
HHHHHEYY coca cola paying 10% every 3 months!!!! And people panicked in 1987 when the price goes down are you kidding me? Literally 0.28 cent dividend on shares priced 2.80 dollars.
Hey I don't mind buying at the top here...
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. THE ROI IN 1988 WAS 40%. AND DHJSDHJSDHJSDHJSDSD IT STAYED IN ACCUMULATION FOR 10 MONTHS.CSXKSD?CSD?CSDCKSDLJCKSDLJCSDLJCSDLJ
HAHA WARREN BUFFET IS GOOD YOU SAY? HE SUCKS ASS, PEOPLE ARE JUST UTTERLY RETARDED. HE GOT LUCKY.
40% YEARLY ROI ARE YOU SERIOUS?
And people still FOMO... Even a disabled cockroach, the low of the low, the filth, had TEN MONTHS to figure out he had free money there.
It is like god is giving every one little wheels on their wheelchairs, and they still struggle.
Hey now people probably learned. Do not expect to get so easy opportunities. If they present themselves thought...
Oh wait it was 30 cents every 3 months and share cost 2.20$ that is 55% yearly ROI.
No wonder Warren is always laughing when strugglers ask him how he got rich and think it is so hard.
A fking monkey can become a billionaire...
Coca Cola Breaks Out Of ResistanceCoca Cola has broken out of resistance which is what we have been waiting for and was mentioned in this post.
The 50 simple moving average helped push price up and through the resistance level.
The next few days/weeks will be important because we have to see whether price can stay above the resistance level.
We sometimes see fake breakouts where price breaks out then moves back below resistance.
What we want to see is price staying above resistance then using it as support and move further to the upside.
As the period of consolidation lasted for several months we may see a strong trend develop potentially giving traders easy profit.
It will be too early to jump into a trade just yet so we must be patient and wait for the next breakout for confirmation
of an uptrend.
Updates will follow when we see more movement.
Any comments or questions, do not hesitate to leave them below. Hit agree if you share our sentiments!

Can Coca Cola's Fizz see it Breakout!?Coca Cola is a household name and a company many investors may be interested in trading and it is potentially
on the verge of breaking out.
On the weekly chart we can see that price has bounced off the 50 simple moving average where it found support.
The sellers were unable to gain control and the buyers forced price to head even higher.
The 200 simple moving average on the daily chart (not shown) was also used as a support area.
Price trended well from 2016 to 2017 so if a breakout does occur then we may see a nice trend follow as it did in the past.
The consolidation area which price is currently held within has lasted for over 5 months so we shouldn't be too quick to enter a trade
if we do see a breakout. Let price confirm that it wants to stay out of the consolidation area and then look for trading opportunities.
As last week was bullish it will be interesting to see how the coming week will perform.

KO Coca-Cola Long Trip BottomLooks like a trip bottom forming on daily. Charts look good on the Weekly as well in my opinion. Good setup with a relatively tight stop.
Always base your trades on the possibility of it going wrong and adjust your risk accordingly. Never risk what you cannot afford to loose. Good luck everyone!
Tips are always welcome and will encourage us to release more setups. Thank you! : )
