The Coca-Cola Company (KO), PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP): Should You Be Worried?

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. Let’s say that instead of the expected 30%, SodaStream grows at half that rate, 15%. In five years, it should be worth about $120, resulting in an overall return of 140%.

The bottom line

Since I bought the Genesis model from SodaStream, I haven’t bought a single Coca-Cola or Pepsi (excluding visits to restaurants). As a college student who loves to drink soda, this device is not only healthier for me, but it is cheaper too.

In addition, the stock price is immensely cheap right now, priced for little to no growth ahead. SodaStream isn’t just a good product to buy, but it’s also a great stock to own.

Finally, with the business idea looking strong and an already huge presence in Europe, SodaStream is set to heavily influence the future of the industry. The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) and PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP), you both should be worried about the up and coming SodaStream, and the long-term effects it could have on your business.
