Over the past five years, Coca-Cola's stock rose 84.09%, driven by its focus on beverages like Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, which grew 16% in volume.

The key to Pepsi's turnaround lies in stabilizing its North American snack segment, while Coca-Cola aims to maintain pricing power and volume growth in zero-sugar products.
