Stock Super Buys for the Big Game: Under Armour Inc (UA), The Coca-Cola Company (KO)

Pepsi’s major competition, Coca-Cola, has seen revenue rise from $31 billion to $46 billion between 2008 and 2011. The EPS for Coke has gone from $1.30 to $1.87.  Both Pepsi and Coke have P/E’s in the 19 range.

Beer Commercials, Football, and Horses

Most Americans will be gathered around the television not to see a game-winning field goal, but to watch a herd of Clydesdales boot a football, or do something else dreamed up in the fertile minds of the ad agency responsible for Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (NYSE:BUD) marketing.

Anheuser-Busch, by the way, is now an international conglomerate, called Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (NYSE:BUD), that sells about 200 different types of beer.  Those brands of beer are some of the most valuable types of brewskies in the world, and that’s the main reason for it’s smooth flow of revenue and earnings.  In 2008, the company was producing about $23.5 billion in revenue. That figure jumped to $36.7 billion a year later. It took a slight dip in 2010, but the latest figures (2011) show the company has regained revenue strength, posting over $39 billion in revenue.

EPS rates are also nice and frothy.  The EPS rate has climbed from $2.47 a share in 2008 to $4.24 in 2011.  With a P/E of 20, the stock does not look too expensive at its current valuation in the $90 range.

Now go back and enjoy the commercials…I mean the big game.
