Description: COKE Coca-Cola Consolidated

Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc. operates as a manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of nonalcoholic beverages in the United States, organized primarily through its Nonalcoholic Beverages segment, with a smaller All Other segment. Founded in 1902 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, the company was previously known as Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and adopted its current name in January 2019.

Its product range covers sparkling beverages, energy products, bottled water, ready-to-drink coffee and tea, enhanced water, juices, and sports drinks. Beyond Coca-Cola brands, the company manufactures and distributes other labels including Dr Pepper and Monster Energy, and it supplies beverages to other Coca-Cola bottlers in the franchise system.

The company distributes directly to grocery stores, mass merchandise stores, club stores, convenience stores, drug stores, restaurants, schools, amusement parks, recreational facilities, and vending machine outlets, and it supplies post-mix fountain syrup products that retailers dispense and mix at the point of sale. As a member of the Consumer Staples sector and the Soft Drinks & Non-alcoholic Beverages sub-industry, the business operates within a defensive, demand-stable category whose volumes tend to be less sensitive to economic cycles than discretionary goods.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Coca-Cola bottling volume and pricing drive core revenue
  • Aluminum and HFCS input costs squeeze gross margins
  • Monster and Dr Pepper distribution expands product mix
