Coca-Cola (KO)

TotalReturn:

'The total return on a portfolio of investments takes into account not only the capital appreciation on the portfolio, but also the income received on the portfolio. The income typically consists of interest, dividends, and securities lending fees. This contrasts with the price return, which takes into account only the capital gain on an investment.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (91.2%) in the period of the last 5 years, the total return, or performance of 28.2% of Coca-Cola is lower, thus worse.
• Compared with SPY (30.8%) in the period of the last 3 years, the total return, or increase in value of 10.8% is lower, thus worse.

CAGR:

'The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a useful measure of growth over multiple time periods. It can be thought of as the growth rate that gets you from the initial investment value to the ending investment value if you assume that the investment has been compounding over the time period.'

• The annual return (CAGR) over 5 years of Coca-Cola is 5.1%, which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (13.9%) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (9.4%) in the period of the last 3 years, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% is lower, thus worse.

Volatility:

'Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can either be measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. In the securities markets, volatility is often associated with big swings in either direction. For example, when the stock market rises and falls more than one percent over a sustained period of time, it is called a 'volatile' market.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (21%) in the period of the last 5 years, the 30 days standard deviation of 20.8% of Coca-Cola is lower, thus better.
• During the last 3 years, the volatility is 15.6%, which is lower, thus better than the value of 17.5% from the benchmark.

DownVol:

'The downside volatility is similar to the volatility, or standard deviation, but only takes losing/negative periods into account.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (15%) in the period of the last 5 years, the downside volatility of 15.1% of Coca-Cola is higher, thus worse.
• During the last 3 years, the downside risk is 11.3%, which is lower, thus better than the value of 12.3% from the benchmark.

Sharpe:

'The Sharpe ratio (also known as the Sharpe index, the Sharpe measure, and the reward-to-variability ratio) is a way to examine the performance of an investment by adjusting for its risk. The ratio measures the excess return (or risk premium) per unit of deviation in an investment asset or a trading strategy, typically referred to as risk, named after William F. Sharpe.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (0.54) in the period of the last 5 years, the risk / return profile (Sharpe) of 0.13 of Coca-Cola is smaller, thus worse.
• Looking at risk / return profile (Sharpe) in of 0.06 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively smaller, thus worse in comparison to SPY (0.4).

Sortino:

'The Sortino ratio, a variation of the Sharpe ratio only factors in the downside, or negative volatility, rather than the total volatility used in calculating the Sharpe ratio. The theory behind the Sortino variation is that upside volatility is a plus for the investment, and it, therefore, should not be included in the risk calculation. Therefore, the Sortino ratio takes upside volatility out of the equation and uses only the downside standard deviation in its calculation instead of the total standard deviation that is used in calculating the Sharpe ratio.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (0.76) in the period of the last 5 years, the excess return divided by the downside deviation of 0.17 of Coca-Cola is lower, thus worse.
• During the last 3 years, the downside risk / excess return profile is 0.09, which is lower, thus worse than the value of 0.56 from the benchmark.

Ulcer:

'The ulcer index is a stock market risk measure or technical analysis indicator devised by Peter Martin in 1987, and published by him and Byron McCann in their 1989 book The Investors Guide to Fidelity Funds. It's designed as a measure of volatility, but only volatility in the downward direction, i.e. the amount of drawdown or retracement occurring over a period. Other volatility measures like standard deviation treat up and down movement equally, but a trader doesn't mind upward movement, it's the downside that causes stress and stomach ulcers that the index's name suggests.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (9.33 ) in the period of the last 5 years, the Ulcer Ratio of 9.91 of Coca-Cola is larger, thus worse.
• Looking at Ulcer Index in of 6.61 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus better in comparison to SPY (8.89 ).

MaxDD:

'A maximum drawdown is the maximum loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum Drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period. It can be used both as a stand-alone measure or as an input into other metrics such as 'Return over Maximum Drawdown' and the Calmar Ratio. Maximum Drawdown is expressed in percentage terms.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (-33.7 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum reduction from previous high of -37 days of Coca-Cola is lower, thus worse.
• Looking at maximum drop from peak to valley in of -17.3 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus better in comparison to SPY (-22.4 days).

MaxDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Max Drawdown Duration is the worst (the maximum/longest) amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs) in days.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (488 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum days under water of 511 days of Coca-Cola is larger, thus worse.
• Looking at maximum time in days below previous high water mark in of 511 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (375 days).

AveDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'

• The average days below previous high over 5 years of Coca-Cola is 172 days, which is greater, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (122 days) in the same period.
• Looking at average days below previous high in of 192 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (114 days).
