Abstract
In the global beverage market, companies such as The Coca-Cola Co.(KO), PepsiCo, Inc.(PEP), Monster Beverage Corp.(MNST), and Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc.(KDP) are highly competitive with their own unique characteristics. The capital market is a platform for investors to engage in investment activities. Investors investing their funds anticipate returns either through dividends or capital gains. The profitability and liquidity ratio of dividend policy have significant effects. Financial performance has had a pivotal role in fulfilling the objective of maximizing the company's overall worth. The escalating worth of the company serves as a testament to the escalating welfare of shareholders, reflected in the profits garnered by investors, apart from dividends, through capital gains accruing from the ownership of shares. This article will analyze the characteristics, financial performance and strategic risks of these companies to provide investors with comprehensive information. MNST is the best performer in terms of short-term debt repayment capacity and liquidity, with strong solvency, low debt ratios and no long-term debt and interest expense. MNST has performed well in terms of profitability, with high profitability ratios and operating margins, showing strong earning potential. In addition, MNST has also performed well in terms of profitability of shareholders' equity. MNST has the highest market ratio, and the market has a certain optimistic attitude towards it. Overall, MNST is an attractive choice due to its high profitability, strong solvency and good market prospects.
