Overview

  • Coca-Cola reported an adjusted second-quarter EPS of $0.87, beating estimates by four cents, while revenue rose 1 percent to $12.5 billion, just below analyst forecasts.
  • The company’s price/mix increased 6 percent, which compensated for a 1 percent year-on-year decline in concentrate sales volumes.
  • It narrowed its full-year EPS growth outlook to about 3 percent from a previous 2–3 percent range and affirmed organic revenue guidance of 5–6 percent.
  • Coca-Cola warned of short-term volatility tied to U.S. tariffs even as broader trade conflicts leave its core operations largely unaffected.
  • A new cane-sugar variant of its flagship Coca-Cola will debut in the U.S. this fall as part of an ongoing product innovation drive.
