Overview
Analysts’ late‑July forecasts projected modest growth for Coca‑Cola’s quarter ending 30 June 2026, with EPS near $0.93 and revenue around $13.2 billion. The company then reported Q2 2026 results: net revenue $13.4 billion, organic growth 6 %, operating profit up 9 % and margin at 34.9 %. Adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.97, leading to an upgrade of full‑year EPS‑growth guidance to 9‑10 %.
Free cash flow over the preceding six months totaled $6.9 billion. Coca‑Cola announced its 64th consecutive dividend increase, maintaining a 2.4 % yield.
Coca‑Cola Consolidated, the bottling subsidiary, saw its market capitalization rise to $12.51 billion and its share price climb to about $188, posting EPS of $1.79 for the quarter. Institutional investors now hold roughly 48.2 % of the stock, and Weiss Ratings reaffirmed a “buy” rating. WNY Asset Management acquired 6,353 shares of the subsidiary, valued at approximately $1.22 million.
