Coca-Cola raised its full-year earnings forecast for the third consecutive quarter after reporting stronger-than-expected revenue and profits, despite sluggish demand in North America.

The beverage company now expects adjusted earnings per share to increase at least 11% in 2026, up from its previous forecast of 9% to 10%. It also projects organic revenue growth of at least 5%.

Third-quarter revenue rose 7% year over year to $13.4 billion, exceeding analysts’ expectations of $12.92 billion. Adjusted earnings reached 91 cents per share, beating the 88 cents forecast by analysts surveyed by LSEG. Net income increased to $4.01 billion from $3.7 billion a year earlier.

Global sales volumes grew 5% for a second consecutive quarter, supported by demand outside North America. Domestic volumes remained flat as inflation and economic uncertainty pressured consumers.

Coca-Cola reported stronger demand for its core soft drinks and water brands, while sports drinks declined and coffee and tea sales remained unchanged.
