Description: KO The Coca-Cola February 25, 2026

The Coca-Cola Company (KO) is a global beverage leader that manufactures, markets and sells a broad portfolio of non-alcoholic drinks-including sparkling soft drinks, water, sports, coffee, tea, juice, dairy-alternatives and plant-based beverages-through a network of independent bottlers, distributors and retailers. Its brands span iconic names such as Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, Sprite, Fanta, Powerade, Dasani, Smartwater, Minute Made, Costa Coffee, BODYARMOR and the recent Topo Chico acquisition, covering virtually every consumer segment from carbonated sodas to premium ready-to-drink coffee.

Key recent metrics highlight the company’s resilience: FY 2025 revenue reached $10.6 billion, up 4 % YoY, driven by a 5 % growth in emerging-market volumes; diluted EPS was $0.71 with a 3.2 % dividend yield, and net-debt-to-EBITDA stood at 2.1×, reflecting a solid balance sheet. Sector-wide, the soft-drink industry is being reshaped by a sustained shift toward low- and no-sugar formulations, rising demand for premium RTD coffee, and input-cost pressures from commodity inflation-trends that Coca-Cola is capitalising on through product innovation and strategic price-adjustments.
