Coca-Cola beats earnings estimates, raises guidance, but faces flat North American sales and IRS litigation.

Coca-Cola reported its sixth consecutive earnings beat with Q3 EPS of $0.91 and revenue of $13.38 billion, exceeding estimates. The company raised its full-year EPS growth guidance to at least 11% and free cash flow guidance to $13 billion, supporting a bullish price target of $106.22. However, flat North American volume, ongoing IRS litigation, and expected revenue drag from divestitures in 2027 pose risks. Analysts remain mostly positive, with Coca-Cola trading between competitors PepsiCo and Monster in valuation and margins.

Coca-Cola shares trade at USD 90.73 on Pluang as of Oct 28, 2026 19:21 WIB, down 0.49% for the day despite the earnings beat. The stock’s market cap stands at $392.22 billion, with a dividend yield of 2.33%, positioning it between PepsiCo and Monster Beverage in valuation and investor interest. Pluang order activity shows 82% buying interest in Coca-Cola, reflecting continued confidence among retail investors even as the company faces some volume and litigation challenges.
