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 (average surprise +1.0%). A miss would break that pattern.
  • Insider buying: none on the open market in 90 days. A purchase by an executive or director would be the first in at least three months. It would show up on SEC Form 4 within two business days.
  • Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 4.06 to 4.0 over three months. That uses a scale where 5 is strong buy and 1 is 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, 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
