Coca-Cola Announces Earnings

Published July 25, 2025

The Coca-Cola Company (KO) announced its second-quarter earnings report on Tuesday, July 22. Despite the company reporting strong revenue and earnings for the quarter, its shares fell by nearly 1% following the release.

Coca-Cola posted net revenue of $12.54 billion and, after excluding items, reported adjusted first quarter revenue of $12.62 billion. This was up from $12.31 billion in adjusted revenue reported at the same time last year and above Wall Street’s adjusted revenue expectation of $12.54 billion.

“Amid a shifting external landscape in the second quarter, the ability of our system to stay both focused and flexible enabled us to stay on course in the first half of the year,” said Coca-Cola CEO, James Quincey. “We continue to execute with a clear intent on our priorities and are confident in our trajectory to deliver on our updated 2025 guidance and longer-term objectives.”

Coca-Cola reported net income of $3.81 billion or $0.88 per adjusted share for the quarter. This was up from $2.41 billion or $0.56 per adjusted share in the same quarter last year.

The iconic Atlanta-based beverage company reported a decrease of 1% in its consolidated unit case volume for the second quarter attributable to declines in Mexico, India and Thailand that offset growth in Central Asia, Argentina and China. The performance of the Sparkling Soft Drinks segment, which includes the company’s Trademark Coca-Cola segment, also fell by 1% for the quarter. The company’s Water, Sports, Coffee and Tea segment stayed flat. The Coca-Cola Zero Sugar segment grew by 14% for the quarter. For fiscal 2025, the company reaffirmed its earlier guidance and expects to deliver organic revenue growth of 5% to 6%.

The Coca-Cola Company (KO) shares closed at $69.17, down 1% for the week.
