Why Keurig Dr Pepper is more than a pandemic

Keurig Dr Pepper is no ordinary pandemic game.

The company’s coffee business jolted when office workers started working from home, forming habits that persist even after employees return to their cubicles. Keurig Dr Pepper also stands to gain from the return of demand to other parts of its business. And because of some changes in ownership of the shares, it is now the largest company eligible to join the S&P 500, which may further increase the stock valuation.

“Coffee is one of the categories that will benefit from the pandemic in the short, medium and long term,” said Caleb Bryant, associate director of Mintel’s food and beverage division.
