Coca-Cola Exceeds Revenue and Profit Expectations Despite Market Challenges
Coca-Cola’s latest financial results outpaced analyst forecasts, with revenue reaching $11.22 billion and earnings hitting 73 cents per share. The soda giant’s performance was buoyed by a 5% increase in global selling prices and a 2% rise in unit case volumes, demonstrating resilient consumer demand even as macroeconomic pressures mount.
While maintaining its full-year guidance for organic revenue and comparable profit, the company flagged potential headwinds from U.S. tariffs and shifting trade dynamics. Notably, a recent boycott among Hispanic consumers in North America contributed to a 3% volume decline in that key market—a reminder of the delicate balance between pricing power and brand loyalty.
