Description: KO The Coca-Cola December 01, 2025

The Coca-Cola Company (KO) is a global beverage manufacturer that 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 franchised bottling network of independent partners, distributors, and retailers.

In fiscal 2023 the company generated approximately $46 billion in revenue with an operating margin near 28 %, driven largely by premium-priced brands such as Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Smartwater, and the recent acquisition of BODYARMOR. The “value-added” segment (e.g., coffee, dairy-based and plant-based drinks) now contributes roughly 15 % of total sales, reflecting a strategic shift toward higher-margin, health-focused categories.

Key economic and sector drivers include: (1) commodity price volatility (sugar, aluminum, and packaging) that can erode margins; (2) evolving consumer preferences toward low-/zero-sugar and functional beverages, which is reshaping product mix; and (3) macro-level demand elasticity in emerging markets, where per-capita consumption is still expanding.
