COKE is setting up for a potential resolution: BUY at 64 with firm momentum on the 1D chart. Sentiment at 54 is diverging from the bullish bias, so confirmation still matters. $199.68 is the line bulls need to clear; $184.32 defines the risk if the attempt stalls. Momentum-driven buyers tend to show up only after $199.68 actually breaks, which means the setup can look identical for days before anything changes on the tape. That's the nature of breakout-watch conditions: the BUY read and firm momentum describe the pressure building, not the timing of when it releases.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into COKE?

CHEAP

At today's price, Coca-Cola Consolidated Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -20.0% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 8.06% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 28.6% a year, so the market is asking for 48.6 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis COKE looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Coca-Cola Consolidated Inc. is currently running 28.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against COKE's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 53rd percentile — close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 28.2%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

COKE is trading -10.4% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -24.7%, and the deepest was -40.1% in 2018. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +6.6% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 41st percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year COKE closed higher on 55% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 13 years of records, COKE finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +3.1% and an average of +2.8%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +11.4% on average, its weakest September at -1.3%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: COKE has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 111 of 3,267 sessions (3.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.2% and -16.8%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-10-07 and 2026-10-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against COKE's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
