According to the survey released by Brand Finance (R) Walmart is the most valuable global brand with a brand value of 41.4 bill USD.  Coca Cola is the number 3 in the ranking and the best valued food brand in the list.

The study provides an opinion on the point-in-time value of the world’s leading brands. Each brand has been accorded a brand rating: a benchmark study of the strength, risk and future potential of a brand relative to its competitor set as well as a brand value: a summary measure of the financial strength of the brand.
