KDP Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Keurig Dr Pepper has demonstrated resilience in the market, with US Coffee retail sales growth of +2.4% in 3Q25TD, reflecting continuing consumer demand within the coffee segment. The company's strategic control over its production and distribution, along with its diverse portfolio, positions it well to achieve revenue and earnings growth in line with consensus estimates for 2026. Additionally, the sustained growth in US Ready-to-Drink Beverages (USRB), evidenced by a +3.1% increase in measured retail sales, further supports a positive outlook for the company's financial performance.
Bears say
Keurig Dr Pepper's financial outlook appears negative due to elevated pro-forma leverage estimates, projected to be approximately 5.2x by the end of 2026 and only modestly improving to 4.3x by the end of 2027, despite a forecasted free cash flow yield of around 9%. Additionally, a significant decline of about 25% in brewer shipments during 3Q25,—which comprise around 20% of segment sales—highlights persistent sales pressure, though there has been a slight sequential improvement in 4Q25. Furthermore, the company has revised its earnings per share projections downward, with estimates for 2025 and 2026 reduced from $2.06 to $2.01 and from $2.17 to $2.14, respectively, while organic sales growth in the International sector has been sharply lowered, revealing a decline in consumer sentiment particularly in Mexico, which represents half of its international sales.
