Coca-Cola stays a Buy at $81.24 with strong Q1 growth and resilient cash flows amid cost pressures.

The Coca-Cola Company remains a Buy at $81.24 with a $92 target, supported by solid Q1 results showing 12% net revenue growth and balanced volume and price gains. Despite input cost pressures, the company expanded its operating margin and benefits from pricing power and defensive qualities in a high-rate environment. Growth in Asia-Pacific volumes offsets short-term margin pressures, with a long-term focus on expanding the consumer base rather than immediate profits. Risks include margin compression and input costs, but stable cash flows and dividend yield support its premium valuation.
