Here’s what Wall Street analysts surveyed by LSEG are expecting the beverage giant to report:

  • Earnings per share: 78 cents expected
  • Revenue: $12.39 billion expected

In recent quarters, Coke has reported weaker demand in some key markets, like the U.S. and Latin America. Still, analysts are broadly more bullish on the company than its rival PepsiCoPepsi reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue, despite another three months of weaker volume for its snacks and drinks.

For the full year, Coke is expecting comparable earnings per share to rise 3% and organic revenue growth of 5% to 6%.

The beverage giant is also reportedly looking to sell Costa Coffee, the British coffee chain it acquired in 2019 for $4.9 billion. Last quarter, Coke CEO James Quincey said that the company’s investment in Costa hasn’t yielded the growth in its ready-to-drink coffee and at-home Express machines that Coke expected at the time of the acquisition.

Shares of Coke have risen nearly 10% this year, increasing its market value to about $295 billion.
