2 Soaring Stocks to Hold for the Next 7 Years
Coca-Cola and Costco may look like obvious picks, but a closer look reveals why both could still have plenty of room to grow over the next seven years.
Overview
If you are looking for soaring consumer stocks you can actually hold, forget about, and think about in seven years, it helps to start with names that already look too obvious and then ask what most people are missing. Two that fit that mold for me right now are The Coca‑Cola Company (NYSE: KO) and Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST). Both companies and their stocks are already widely followed, but there are still some lesser-known angles that make them worth watching and help explain why investors remain interested.

This shows that the business is not stuck in neutral.
