Coke&#8217;s organic revenue, which strips out acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency, increased 6%.<\/p>\n<p>Shares climbed nearly 3% in premarket trading.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s unit case volume rose 1%, a reversal from last quarter&#8217;s decline. The metric excludes the impact of pricing and foreign currency to reflect demand.<\/p>\n<p>But volume in both Latin America and North America, two key markets, was flat for the quarter. Coke executives have previously said that low-income consumers in the U.S. have been buying fewer of its products, although the company is trying to target them with affordable options.<\/p>\n<p>Worldwide, Coke saw the largest volume growth from its water, sports, coffee and tea segment. Its bottled water and sports drinks both saw volume increase 3%, while coffee and tea reported volume growth of 2%. The company&#8217;s sparkling soft drinks volume was flat for the quarter, while its juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverage segment reported that volume shrank 3%.<\/p>\n<p>The company reiterated its full-year forecast. Coke is expecting comparable earnings per share to rise 3% and organic revenue to increase 5% to 6%.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead to 2026, Coke is projecting a slight tailwind to both its revenue and comparable earnings from currency fluctuations. The company will provide a full forecast for the upcoming year in its fourth-quarter earnings report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sina Schuldt | Picture Alliance | Getty Images Coca-Cola reported quarterly earnings and revenue that topped expectations, but&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":321048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9167,47299,133,64,81,6797,6795,13656,2105,135,42175,988,11731,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-321047","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-breaking-news-business","9":"tag-breaking-news-earnings","10":"tag-breaking-news-markets","11":"tag-business","12":"tag-business-news","13":"tag-coca-cola-co","14":"tag-dividends","15":"tag-earnings","16":"tag-food-and-drink","17":"tag-markets","18":"tag-pepsico-inc","19":"tag-restaurants","20":"tag-retail-industry","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115411943717982931","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=321047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/321047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/321048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=321047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=321047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=321047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
