Investing $10,000 in Monster Beverage Stock 10 Years Ago Paid Off More Than Investing the Same Amount in Coca-Cola. Here's the Better Buy for the Next Decade.
Monster Beverage handily beat Coca-Cola over the past decade, but this trend could change in the next 10 years.
Overview
Over the past decade, an investment in Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), with dividends reinvested, has generated total returns of 179.3%. That might sound impressive on the surface, but consider how an investment in Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST) made a decade ago generated even greater gains, with total returns of 258.9%.
In other words, while $10,000 invested in Coca-Cola in 2016 is now worth $27,930, $10,000 invested in Monster is now worth $35,890, or 28.5% more than the Coca-Cola position.
Details
That said, while Monster generated stronger returns from 2016 to 2026 than Coca-Cola, that may not be the case over the next decade.
