On CAPS, 89% of the 272 members who have rated Coca-Cola Enterprises believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include TMFDeej, who is ranked in the top 1% of our community, and euroazn.

Almost a year ago, TMFDeej highlighted Coca-Cola Enterprises as a refreshing situation:

Despite Europe's economic problems, the area's per-capita soft drink consumption is much lower than the United States'. As a result, [Coca-Cola Enterprises] has more room to grow now that it only operates in Europe. ... We are now able to get the crown jewel of [Coca-Cola Enterprises], with higher margins, better ROIC, and better growth.

Currently, Coca-Cola Enterprises even sports a cheapish forward P/E of 11.7. That represents a slight discount to listed competitors Kraft (12.4) and PepsiCo (13.1).

CAPS member euroazn expands on the outperform argument:

Everyone talks about [The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO)], but what about Coca-Cola Enterprises? The bottling operation is just as important as is the concentrate/advertising arm of Coca-Cola. ... [F]or the next 5 years there is not too much risk of expenditures getting out of hand. Revenue should increase as Coca-Cola volume keeps on increasing. Fundamentals are good and the stock is relatively cheap. Good buy.
