Coca-Cola Europacific Partners reported H1 revenue of €10.72bn, up 4.4%, but growth slowed sharply from Q1's 6.7% as volume growth decelerated to 5.6% from 8.5%. Operating profit rose to €1.46bn and EPS to €2.17. The market focused on the slowdown, sending shares down 3.4%, despite management reaffirming full-year guidance of 3-4% revenue growth and ~7% operating profit growth. The Q2 deceleration raises questions about achieving even the low end of guidance. The company also confirmed its FY26 outlook.
