A Motley Fool contributor argues Coca-Cola and Costco could suit a seven-year holding period, citing Coca-Cola’s 5% global case-volume growth and 7% revenue rise in Q2 2026, and Costco’s 10.6% sales growth in June 2026.
Coca-Cola also reported 9% operating-income growth in Q2 and raised its full-year guidance. In July, it launched a visual identity system across more than 200 markets and said it was committing about $10 billion to U.S. production and distribution infrastructure through 2030.
Costco management says the company invests roughly $6.5 billion a year in warehouse openings and remodels. Its regular dividend was recently raised to $1.47 per share, and it has also used special dividends. The article notes Costco was not among the 10 stocks Stock Advisor analysts said they considered their best buys now.
