Kweichow Moutai stock price: 600519 A-shares in focus after Year-of-Horse packaging fix

Shanghai, Jan 25, 2026, 05:05 CST — Market closed Kweichow Moutai Co., Ltd. Class A shares (600519.SS) slipped 0.23%, finishing at 1,337 yuan. Investors focused on the company’s handling of a packaging error involving its limited “Year of the Horse” bottle. (TradingView) The timing couldn’t be more awkward. Lunar New Year marks a peak selling season for premium baijiu — China’s high-proof grain spirit — and Moutai’s limited “zodiac” editions are eagerly monitored for clues on the brand’s pricing power. Zodiac editions don’t make up the bulk of sales, but they occupy a unique spot where gifting, collectors, and the

PepsiCo stock slips even as Coca-Cola rises; traders eye Feb. 3 earnings

New York, Jan 23, 2026, 15:24 EST — Regular session PepsiCo (PEP.O) shares edged down 0.2% to $144.05 on Friday, underperforming the broader consumer staples sector, which saw gains. The snack-and-soda giant is falling behind some of its bigger rivals. The market stumbled on uncertain footing. Intel’s forecast shook investor nerves, leaving U.S. stocks without a clear trend.

Coca-Cola stock price slips as tariff jitters linger; KO focus turns to Feb. 10 earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 21, 2026, 13:04 EST — Regular session Shares of The Coca-Cola Company (KO) slipped roughly 0.4% to near $71.50 on Wednesday, underperforming a slight uptick in U.S. equities. The pullback follows a day when Coke rose almost 2%, even as Wall Street posted its steepest one-day decline in three months amid renewed tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. “I’m not at the point yet” to call it a correction, said Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group.

Coca-Cola stock bucks tariff-driven selloff — here’s what KO investors watch next

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 21:32 (ET) — Market closed. Coca-Cola’s shares jumped 1.9% to $71.75 on Tuesday, bucking the broader market’s drop amid fresh tariff concerns. Volume topped recent averages, pushing the stock close to its 52-week high. (MarketWatch) This move stood out because it matched a well-worn pattern: investors dumping riskier bets and flocking to stable names. New tariff threats linked to a U.S.-Europe spat over Greenland sent markets sharply into “risk-off” territory — traders slashing riskier holdings — with staples catching the safe-haven demand. “It’s all coming together for a pretty significant risk-off day,” said Wasif Latif,

Coca-Cola stock price: KO stuck near $70 as tariff jitters hit futures and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 19, 2026, 14:28 (EST) — Market closed. Coca-Cola shares are holding steady with U.S. cash markets shut Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, while tariff concerns dragged global stocks down. George Lagarias, chief economist at Forvis Mazars, noted, “It’s highly likely that the White House will use the threat of tariffs consistently, even when deals have previously been agreed.” (Reuters) KO holders face tricky timing. The stock often acts as a safe haven when markets slide, yet its global reach leaves it vulnerable to currency shifts and softening consumer confidence. Coca-Cola (KO) ended the day at

New York, Jan 16, 2026, 13:40 EST — Regular session Shares of The Coca-Cola Company ticked up roughly 0.3% to $70.67 on Friday, edging up from Thursday’s close at $70.48. KO has been confined to a narrow range as investors weigh the implications of a leadership shakeup that sets a CEO handover for March in motion.

Coca-Cola stock inches up after Costa Coffee sale is shelved, leadership reshuffle detailed

New York, January 14, 2026, 14:29 ET — Regular session Coca-Cola shares edged up 0.4% to $71.51 in afternoon trading Wednesday, following news of leadership changes and a report that the company has put its Costa Coffee sale plans on hold. The Costa decision is significant because it leaves a troubled asset on Coca-Cola’s balance sheet just as investors demand that major consumer companies streamline their portfolios and tighten capital discipline. According to the Financial Times, bids for Costa didn’t meet Coca-Cola’s expectations, leading the company to halt the sale process for the moment. (Financial Times) This comes amid a
