Coca-Cola (KO) reported earnings yesterday and the market promptly punished the stock for a 4% decrease in North American sales.
However, profits and international sales both rose due to a weak dollar and growth overseas. Watch for Coke to come down and test its 50-day moving average at around $52, but a trade that gets ready for it to bounce of that level would be prudent.
Coca-Cola's balance sheet is still very strong and it looks to be an overreaction to what was overall a positive earnings report.
