More than 300 companies with market caps north of $1 billion didn't participate in January's rally, and some of those laggards will surprise you. Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), and O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY) are among the names trading lower this year. Celsius is a distributor of functional energy drinks -- fruit-flavored sparkling water that also packs a proprietary blend of ingredients that it claims help improve near-term metabolism rates.
Dividend investors should consider loading up on these stocks as this could be a good year for both of their businesses.
Coca-Cola (KO) closed at $61.32 in the latest trading session, marking a +1.12% move from the prior day.
