The Coca-Cola Company: Increasing Inflation and Input Costs Adversely Impacting The Bottom-Line?

The Coca-Cola Company continued its strong momentum in the second quarter. The company’s resilient strategy as well as its consistent focus on leveraging its scale and growth mindset have contributed to solid year-to-date results. As a result, Coca-Cola has raised both its top and bottom-line guidance. The company experienced robust organic revenue growth and expanded margins in the second quarter while driving volume growth. This culminated in a 7% growth in comparable earnings per share, despite headwinds from bottler refranchising and currency fluctuations.
