The Coca-Cola Co., one of the world's largest beverage makers, sells its wares in more than 200 countries. The company makes more than 80% of its operating income overseas.
That diversity should help offset weakness in U.S. buying. Plus, last year's acquisition of Glacéau and its profitable VitaminWater brand gave the company a valuable beachhead in the noncarbonated health-drink market.
