At around 13.5% below their recent high, offering steady dividends and backed by a resilient business, I think they're a solid option for a $5,000 investment today.  For me, it's a reminder that sometimes the best opportunities aren't the most exciting ones.","market":"us","thumbnail":null,"type":0,"news_type":0,"thumbnails":[],"rights":{"source":"motleyfoolau_stock","url":"https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/19/should-i-invest-5000-in-coles-shares-now/","rn_cache_url":null,"directOrigin":true},"property":[],"language":"en","translate_title":"","themeId":null,"theme_name":"","theme_type":"","isJumpTheme":false,"source_url":"https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/19/should-i-invest-5000-in-coles-shares-now/","is_publish_highlight":false,"source_rank":0,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_top_title":null,"news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"length":0,"strategy_id":0,"source":"motleyfoolau_stock","symbols":["BK7040","COL.AU","BK7082","BK7501"],"isVideo":false,"video":null,"gpt_icon":0},{"id":"2620285020","title":"Woolworths shares are storming ahead of Coles this year: Are the supermarket giants a buy, sell, or hold?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2620285020","media":"MotleyFool","labels":[],"top":-1,"itemType":null,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2620285020?lang=en_us&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2026-03-18 11:44","pubTimestamp":1773805458,"startTime":"0","endTime":"0","summary":"Supermarket giants Woolworths Group Ltd  and Coles Group Ltd  have had a rivalry spanning decades.
