In Coca Cola Co's own words

“Our results this quarter demonstrate our system’s sustained momentum, giving us confidence in our updated full year guidance”

— Henrique Braun, CEO of The Coca-Cola Company · SEC filing

From the company's earnings release filed with the SEC on 2026-10-27 (Form 8-K).

What would change the picture for KO

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

• The Oct. 27, 2026 earnings report is 0 days away. Coca Cola Co beat estimates in 3 of the last 4 quarters. The average surprise was +1.0%. A miss would break that pattern.
• There has been no open-market purchase by an insider at Coca Cola Co in 90 days. Form 4 filings would show one within two business days of the trade.
• Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 4.06 to 4.0 over three months. The scale runs from 5 for strong buy to 1 for strong sell. A run of downgrades after earnings usually shows up here first.
• Price levels: a close above $95.34 would be a new 52-week high. That is 2.8% above the latest close of $92.7. A close below $66.2 would be a new 52-week low, 28.6% below it.
• Growth: revenue rose 1.9% year over year in the quarter ending Dec 2025. The trend is steady. At a P/E of 29.2, a slowdown would matter more than at a lower multiple.
• New shares: dilution risk is low now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

How KO compares with its peers

Over the past month KO ranks 2 of 3 in this group at +5.6%. The best was KDP at +10.3%. The weakest was PEP at +5.3%.

KO's P/E of 29.2 is in line with the peers' median of 28.9.

KO history: what happened after similar moves

Since 2023, KO rose 5.6% or more in a month 14 times (separate episodes, not counting the current one). Three months later it was higher in 9 of 13 cases; the median change was +2.8%.

Past moves don't predict the next one; they show how volatile the stock has been.

Key terms on this page

P/E ratio

Price divided by the last 12 months of earnings per share. A P/E of 20 means investors pay $20 for each $1 of yearly profit. It is only defined when the company is profitable.

Price-to-sales

Market value divided by the last 12 months of revenue. Useful for companies with little or no profit, but it ignores margins.

Form 4

The SEC form a company's officers, directors and 10% owners must file within two business days of buying or selling its stock.

Open-market trade

A purchase or sale on the exchange at the market price, paid with the insider's own money (code P or S on Form 4), as opposed to option exercises, grants or gifts.

Form 13F

A quarterly SEC report listing the U.S. stock holdings of every investment manager with more than $100 million. It is due 45 days after each quarter ends, so it shows positions with a delay.

Dilution

When a company issues new shares, each existing share owns a smaller piece of the company. Common sources: stock offerings, convertible debt and large stock-based pay.

Form 8-K

The SEC form for material events between quarterly reports: earnings releases, deals, executive changes, stock offerings and similar news.
