Coca-Cola (KO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Coca-Cola is experiencing a notable +7.5% growth in US measured retail sales, supported by improved operating margins projected to reach approximately 32% by FY26. The company's strategic restructuring and innovative resource allocation are expected to enhance market share gains and capitalize on opportunities in emerging markets, driving long-term top-line growth of 5-6%. Additionally, Coca-Cola's sustained pricing power, robust historical volume growth, and significant advances in revenue growth management provide a strong foundation for continued financial momentum through 2025, despite potential currency fluctuations.
Bears say
Coca-Cola is experiencing significant international headwinds, particularly in markets such as China, the Middle East, and parts of Africa, which has led to a decrease in expected earnings per share (EPS) for 2025 and 2026, moving from $3.00 to $2.94 and $3.23 to $3.16, respectively. Furthermore, the company anticipates a currency headwind impacting the topline by 3-4%, which, combined with challenges among lower-income consumers in the U.S., could suppress overall demand. Additionally, the revised expectations for modest growth in EPS, alongside increased interest expenses, suggest ongoing financial pressures that contribute to a negative outlook for Coca-Cola's stock.
