Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Coca-Cola delivered a strong Q1 2026 with comparable EPS of $0.86, up 18% year-over-year, as organic revenue grew 10% with global volume momentum of 3% unit case growth across all segments. Comparable EPS guidance was raised from 7-8% to 8-9% growth on the $3.00 base, reflecting the strong start to the year. Innovation pipeline drove consumer recruitment, and balanced top-line growth came from both pricing and volume. Middle East conflict disrupted Eurasia volumes, and FIFA World Cup and digital activation were scaling. APAC margin compression from inventory phasing was a temporary headwind.
