Coca-Cola Q2 Revenue Up 7%, Raises Guidance on World Cup Boost and Coke Zero Zero Launch
KO sits 35% above its 52-week low of $65.354 on elevated volume (2.0× avg).
Summary
Coca-Cola posted Q2 revenue of ~$13.4B, up 7%, with adjusted EPS of $0.97, beating consensus. Unit case volumes rose 5%, driven by a global World Cup campaign that reached 180+ markets and 20M+ retail outlets, lifting Powerade volume 8% and Coke 5%. The company raised its full-year organic revenue growth guidance to ~5% and EPS growth to 9–10%. A new Coke Zero Zero variant—zero calories, sugar, and caffeine—is rolling out to attract value-conscious consumers, with U.S. volumes already rising. This follows the Q2 earnings release yesterday and adds color on the marketing push and product innovation behind the beat. The raised guidance and strong volume trends suggest momentum, though the ongoing fairlife ransomware disruption and India market share loss remain headwinds.
