Coca-Cola's stock is near its 52-week high after strong earnings and strategic moves under new CEO Henrique Braun, including expanding Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and leveraging the FIFA World Cup. The company reported 5% global volume growth in Q2 2026, with revenue and net income rising, and raised its full-year free cash flow and EPS growth guidance.
