Coca-Cola<\/a> on Tuesday reported<\/a> mixed quarterly results, although demand for its drinks in North America and Latin America is beginning to show signs of improvement.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to 2026, the company is projecting organic revenue growth of 4% to 5% and comparable earnings per share growth of 7% to 8% for the full year.<\/p>\n

Shares of Coca-Cola fell roughly 3% in premarket trading. <\/p>\n

Here’s what the company reported for the period ended Dec. 31 compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG:<\/p>\n

Adjusted earnings per share: 58 cents vs. 56 cents expectedAdjusted revenue: $11.82 billion vs. $12.03 billion expected <\/p>\n

The beverage giant reported fourth-quarter net income attributable to shareholders of $2.27 billion, or 53 cents per share, up from $2.2 billion, or 51 cents per share, a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Excluding transaction gains and other one-time items, Coke earned 58 cents per share.<\/p>\n

Net sales\u00a0rose\u00a02% to $11.82 billion. Organic revenue, which strips out acquisitions, divestitures and currency, increased 5% in the quarter.<\/p>\n

Unit case volume rose 1% in the quarter, marking the second straight quarter of growth for the company. The metric excludes the impact of pricing and foreign currency to reflect demand. <\/p>\n

Like rival PepsiCo<\/a>, Coke has seen demand for its drinks fall as budget-conscious shoppers try to save more on their grocery bills and dine out less frequently. Coke’s overall volume for 2025 was unchanged from the prior year. <\/p>\n

But there have been some bright spots, like Smartwater and Fairlife, showing that consumers are still willing to pay more for premium drinks. <\/p>\n

And two key markets for Coke are starting to show signs of improvement. Coke’s volume in North America increased 1%, while it rose 2% in Latin America. <\/p>\n

Worldwide, Coke’s water, sports, coffee and tea division outperformed the rest of its portfolio, signaling consumers’ willingness to spend on drinks they perceive as healthier options. The segment saw volume grow 3%, thanks to higher demand for brands like Smartwater and Bodyarmor. <\/p>\n

The company’s sparkling soft drinks business reported flat volume. Its namesake soda saw volume rise 1% in the quarter, while Coke Zero Sugar reported that its volume climbed 13%.<\/p>\n

Coke’s juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverages division reported that volume fell 3%. Higher demand for Fairlife was offset by the sale of Coke’s finished product operations in Nigeria to one of its bottlers.<\/p>\n

Shares of Coca-Cola have risen roughly 22% over the last year as of Monday’s close, raising its market value up to about $335 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cases of Coca-Cola brand soda are stacked at a Costco Wholesale store on November 13, 2025 in Simi…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[448,10906,116,28,122,5244,11588,8084,2538,112,2901,4322,5682],"class_list":{"0":"post-460204","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-breaking-news-business","9":"tag-breaking-news-earnings","10":"tag-breaking-news-markets","11":"tag-business","12":"tag-business-news","13":"tag-coca-cola-co","14":"tag-dividends","15":"tag-earnings","16":"tag-food-and-drink","17":"tag-markets","18":"tag-pepsico-inc","19":"tag-restaurants","20":"tag-retail-industry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
