Jul 29, 2026, 9:39 AM ET, Summary Coca-Cola Femsa delivered solid Q2 results, with revenues up 4.7% and net income surging 16.9%. KOF offset flat Mexican sales with record volumes in Colombia, Guatemala, and Brazil, benefiting from favorable LatAm macro trends. Premiumization and strong energy drink growth, especially Monster in Brazil, provide upside beyond traditional soda volumes. At just over 15x forward earnings and a ~4% dividend yield, KOF remains an attractive growth and income story.

Summary California Water Service Group is a dependable dividend grower, now marking 58 consecutive annual increases.

Rising interest rates and a worsening yield spread versus treasuries make California Water Service less attractive as a bond proxy at current prices. I downgrade shares to a hold, preferring a lower entry point near $40 and a 3% yield given current macro conditions.

Management expects revenue growth to resume in H2 2026, reiterating long-term high single-digit revenue CAGR and highlighting improved contract activity. The company's timely share buyback program should boost shareholder returns.
