The firm expects Coca-Cola to deliver a solid quarter with strong organic growth both domestically and internationally, particularly led by Latin America and EMEA regions, meeting consensus expectations.
RBC Capital notes that Coca-Cola’s organic fundamentals remain solid globally despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, positioning the company well to navigate through global volatility.
The beverage giant has appropriate levers at its disposal to deliver on yearly targets, including pricing strategies, revenue growth management, and cost-saving initiatives, according to the research firm.
