本期内容:
Coca-Cola rediscovered some fizz. Its fourth-quarter profits rose by 60%, year-on-year, to $1.2 billion. A cost-cutting programme set out in 2014 seems to be paying off. It also shifted 1 3% more drink, but revenue 2 fell by 8%, to $10 billion; Coke, like many American companies that sell plenty abroad, was hurt by the strong dollar.
