Coca-Cola EuroPacific Partners is a tasty play on Coke

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (NASDAQ:CCEP) reported what CEO Damian Gammell described as a “good start to the year” in its Q1 2026 trading update, citing positive mix, solid underlying volume growth and continued market share gains across key beverage categories.

While Q1 is typically the company’s smallest quarter, management said performance was “broadly in line with expectations” and reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance for 3% to 4% revenue growth, around 7% operating profit growth and comparable free cash flow of at least €1.7 billion, which CFO Ed Walker noted is “half two-weighted as usual.”

Revenue, volumes and mix: Europe and APS

Gammell said revenue continued to benefit from “positive mix drivers” seen last year, supported by factors including additional cooler placements and the growth of Monster. He also pointed to “solid comparable volume growth beyond the benefit of a slightly earlier Easter.”

On a comparable basis, CCEP said Europe volumes grew 1.4%, “primarily driven by growth in Germany and GB,” with particular strength in the at-home channel, which the company said typically sees more Easter-related spending and larger packs. In the Australia Pacific & Southeast Asia (APS) segment, comparable volumes rose 1.9%, driven by the Philippines, double-digit growth in the Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea, and improvement in Indonesia, where sparkling beverages benefited from a “solid Ramadan festive period,” according to Gammell.

Walker provided additional detail on Europe’s pricing and mix dynamics. He said the company was “pleased” with Q1’s “overall revenue growth of 9.8% in total,” noting the largest portion was from volume with “the extra days at just over 8%.” He said Europe continued to see “very positive brand mix… fueled by energy,” while package mix was positive but offset by Easter-related shifts toward multi-serve, at-home occasions that typically carry lower revenue per case. Walker also cited a “slight headwind from country mix,” with Great Britain and Germany growing faster but having “slightly lower revenue per case versus the other markets in Europe.”

In APS, Gammell said revenue per case faced a headwind from the Suntory alcohol exit, which he said had “just over 3% impact on APS revenues and 1% at a group level.”

Innovation and commercial execution highlighted across brands

Management repeatedly emphasized product innovation, packaging and marketing as key drivers of category growth and share gains. Gammell said Q1 innovations were “largely focused around the Coca-Cola trademark,” adding that “bolder moves on Coke are the name of the game.” He highlighted distribution of Coca-Cola Cherry Float in Great Britain supporting a broader Cherry rollout, and said “The Devil Wears Prada 2 campaign” was supporting improvements in Diet Coke.

Gammell also cited a strong start for a new 500 ml “super can” in Great Britain and the relaunch of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Zero Caffeine with “black and gold packaging,” supported by a partnership with the “007 First Light” video game. In ready-to-drink alcohol (ARTD), he noted additions including “BACARDÍ Spiced & Coca-Cola” and “Absolut Vodka & Sprite Pineapple.”

Monster was again a central growth driver. Gammell said Monster volumes were up “by 20% or more,” supported by new launches and core variant growth such as Ultra White. He called out multiple launches including “Rehab,” a tea-based still lineup, and “Viking Berry,” which he said was the “strongest energy release to date” in Great Britain and had already outperformed prior year launches.

The company also pointed to gains in away-from-home execution and equipment placements. Gammell said Q1 saw “great customer wins in QSR,” including Chili’s in the Philippines and Great Britain holiday park operator Parkdean. He also said the company added “around 40,000 more Coke and Monster coolers” so far this year, with plans to add up to 1,000 in Co-op convenience stores in Great Britain.

Demand and inflation: “Not as severe as 2022,” management says

Analysts pressed management on inflation and volatility, including comparisons to 2022. Gammell said he did not see the current situation as comparable, while Walker said the company had “learned a lot” from 2022 and described a three-part approach: supply security, cost mitigation and demand management.

Walker said the company has worked to ensure “multiple sources of supply for key commodities and materials,” adding that “as we sit here today, we’re in great shape and no material risks from a supply perspective.” On costs, he said CCEP has “a very extensive hedging program” and is “over 85% hedged now for the remainder of the year.” He added that since 2022 CCEP has also worked directly with suppliers to hedge their exposure or reduce risk within their supply chains.

On demand, Walker said inflation pressures are a broader food-and-drink challenge rather than company-specific, but added: “As we sit here today, we don’t think it will be as severe as 2022.” He also pointed to revenue growth management tools and the company’s broad portfolio as levers to pull if conditions change.

Gammell acknowledged “increasingly uncertain” macro conditions, “particularly given the situation in the Middle East,” but said CCEP’s operating model is resilient. He said the company’s planning assumed “a temporary market disruption,” and that it was not currently seeing any “material impact on consumers,” though it is monitoring conditions closely.

Regional and channel commentary: Easter, Germany and France

On channel mix in Europe, Gammell said Q1’s at-home tilt was consistent with Easter, which he described as “a much more at-home occasion,” and said there was “nothing to read into in Q1” regarding away-from-home trends. He said improving spring weather in Northern Europe was “definitely giving away from home a boost” into April, and that the next couple of quarters are key for away-from-home in Europe.

Asked about Germany and France, Gammell said Germany benefited significantly from Easter and remains “quite a competitive market,” adding that CCEP needs to continue refining “price promo architecture” to sustain volume growth. On France, he said the market had faced “a lot of pricing inflation” driven by taxation but indicated the business had improved as the company cycled that disruption, calling out March performance as encouraging.

Gammell also addressed portfolio shifts, noting that sugar-free offerings are “continu[ing] to accelerate,” led by Coke Zero, while Diet Coke was benefiting from “more focus” and investment. For Coca-Cola Original Taste, he said performance was strong in single-serve and smaller pack formats, while “most of the volume weakness has been on large PET,” a trend he said has persisted for several quarters.

AI initiatives, capital investment and bottling ambitions

Management discussed ongoing investments in supply chain and digital capabilities, including a new “mega plant outside Manila” that Gammell said remains “on track to begin production at the start of 2027.” He also highlighted the launch of “Kira,” a natural language chat interface developed for the insights team to analyze data and support faster decision-making.

On artificial intelligence more broadly, Gammell said CCEP is seeing benefits in planning and forecasting accuracy, and has rolled out tools such as Copilot across the business. He said CCEP is also leveraging AI embedded in partner platforms including Salesforce and ServiceNow, and is using AI to improve promotional efficiency. He added that the company is working with customers using outlet-level sales information to support “share of shelf, cooler space, products on display” discussions, as well as analyzing promotional impacts on household penetration, frequency and loyalty.

In response to a question about potential new bottling markets following news about the Pepsi bottling agreement in Denmark and Finland changing hands in 2029, Gammell reiterated CCEP’s “broader ambition to become a bigger bottler in the Coke family.” He said performance remains key, and noted the company’s balance sheet and capital allocation framework retain the ability to do a transaction, while any expansion ultimately depends on discussions with The Coca-Cola Company.

CCEP also referenced shareholder returns, with Gammell pointing to a dividend declaration and an ongoing share buyback program. In closing remarks, he said the company was reaffirming guidance despite the uncertain backdrop and highlighted upcoming marketing initiatives, including FIFA World Cup activation and planned innovation across brands through the rest of the year and into 2027.

"Whilst the consumer environment remains challenging and the full impact of the situation in the Middle East is uncertain, we are resilient. We continue to actively manage pricing, promotions, discretionary spend and efficiencies alongside bringing excitement to customers and consumers, like the FIFA World Cup. We are also investing more than ever in growth, from technology and AI, to more coolers and our new plant in the Philippines.

"Today's dividend declaration, reaffirmation of our full year guidance for 2026 and ongoing share buybacks demonstrate the strength of our business and our ability to deliver continued shareholder value.

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks that could cause actual results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements are based upon various assumptions as well as CCEP's historical experience and present expectations or projections. As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. Factors that, in CCEP's view, could cause such actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of CCEP's 2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on 13 March 2026 and subsequent filings, including, but not limited to: changes in the marketplace; changes in relationships with large customers; adverse weather conditions; importation of other bottlers' products into our territories; deterioration of global and local economic and political conditions; increases in costs of raw materials; changes in interest rates or debt rating; deterioration in political unity within the European Union; defaults of or failures by counterparty financial institutions; changes in tax law in countries in which we operate; additional levies of taxes; waste and pollution, health concerns perceptions, and recycling matters related to packaging; global or regional catastrophic events; cyberattacks against us or our customers or suppliers; technology failures; initiatives to realise cost savings; calculating infrastructure investment; executing on our acquisition strategy; costs, limitations of supplies, and quality of raw materials; maintenance of brand image and product quality; managing workplace health, safety and security; water scarcity and regulations; climate change and legal and regulatory responses thereto; other legal, regulatory and compliance considerations; anti-corruption laws, regulations, and sanction programmes; legal claims against suppliers; litigation and legal proceedings against us; legal changes in our status; attracting, retaining and motivating employees; our relationship with TCCC and other franchisors; and differing views among our shareholders.

Note Regarding the Presentation of Alternative Performance Measures

We use certain alternative performance measures (non-IFRS performance measures) to make financial, operating and planning decisions and to evaluate and report performance. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors and as such, where clearly identified, we have included certain alternative performance measures in this document to allow investors to better analyse our business performance and allow for greater comparability. To do so, we have excluded items affecting the comparability of period-over-period financial performance as described below. The alternative performance measures included herein should be read in conjunction with and do not replace the directly reconcilable IFRS measures.

For purposes of this document, the following terms are defined:

''As reported'' are results extracted from our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

"Comparable'' is defined as results excluding items impacting comparability, such as restructuring charges. Comparable volume is also adjusted for consumption days.

''Fx-neutral'' or "FXN" is defined as period results excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Foreign exchange impact is calculated by recasting current year results at prior year exchange rates.

''Capex'' or "Capital expenditures'' is defined as purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalised software, plus payments of principal on lease obligations, less proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment. Capex is used as a measure to ensure that cash spending on capital investment is in line with the Group's overall strategy for the use of cash.

''Comparable free cash flow'' is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures (as defined above) and net interest payments, adjusted for items that are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, nor have occurred within the prior two years. Comparable free cash flow is used as a measure of the Group's cash generation from operating activities, taking into account investments in property, plant and equipment, non-discretionary lease and net interest payments while excluding the effects of items that are unusual in nature to allow for better period over period comparability. Comparable free cash flow reflects an additional way of viewing our liquidity, which we believe is useful to our investors, and is not intended to represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

''Dividend payout ratio'' is defined as dividends as a proportion of comparable profit after tax.

Additionally, within this document, we provide certain forward-looking non-IFRS financial information, which management uses for planning and measuring performance. We are not able to reconcile forward-looking non-IFRS measures to reported measures without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact or exact timing of items that may impact comparability throughout year.

Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners has seen a fine tuning of its valuation picture, with the euro fair value estimate adjusting from about €90.09 to roughly €90.81 and Street price targets now clustering between €79 and €100, and around US$107 to US$118. These moves reflect analysts tweaking their views rather than shifting stance, weighing solid recent results against questions around consumer demand and the balance of risk and reward at current levels. As you read on, you will see how to keep track of this evolving narrative and what to watch in the next set of updates.

Analyst Price Targets don't always capture the full story. Head over to our Company Report to find new ways to value Coca-Cola Europacific Partners.

What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

UBS lifted its target to US$118 from US$103, highlighting expectations for 4% organic revenue growth in FY26 excluding the Suntory Spirits distribution loss, with support from volume trends in Europe and Asia Pacific and pricing that could help share gains in markets like Germany and France. Goldman Sachs raised its target to US$110 from US$98 after what it called healthy second half 2025 results, with lower SG&A helping offset softer topline and a fiscal 2026 outlook that the firm views as potentially conservative. Evercore ISI moved its target up to US$112 from US$95, pointing to solid Q4 results and what it describes as encouraging exit rates into 2025, which it links to execution and earnings resilience. Citi increased its target to €100 from €87, and Barclays to US$111 from US$101, both maintaining positive ratings that suggest they see room for further upside at recent valuation levels.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

BofA raised its target to US$107 from US$96 but kept a Neutral stance, flagging a still difficult consumer backdrop in Europe and describing CCEP shares as fairly valued after the post earnings move. A more recent Barclays update trimming its target by US$5 underlines that some analysts see a less favorable risk reward balance after the stock’s run, even with supportive fundamentals in the background.

Investor sentiment was majorly weighed down last week by escalating tensions over the U.S.-Iran conflict, which drove crude oil prices sharply higher and rekindled fears of a stagflationary environment.

Consumer discretionary, financials, and industrials bore the brunt of selling pressure, reflecting concerns over slowing growth and tighter financial conditions. Meanwhile, energy emerged as a relative outperformer, mainly due to the oil price surge, while defensive positioning gained traction across healthcare and select industrial plays.

Amid broader market noise, let us look at individual stocks that have momentum indicators pointing to an oversold territory. Here is a list of Nasdaq constituent companies that have low Relative Strength Index levels.

* Cintas Corporation (CTAS [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CTAS]), RSI - 27; 1-week: -7.7%
* Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CCEP]), RSI - 27; 1-week: -8.8%
* PACCAR (PCAR [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/PCAR]), RSI - 28; 1-week: -3.5%
* Copart (CPRT [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CPRT]), RSI - 28; 1-week: -3.6%
* NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/NXPI]), RSI - 29; 1-week: +0.27%
* The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/KHC]), RSI - 29; 1-week: -4.5%
* Ferrovial SE (FER [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/FER]), RSI - 29; 1-week: -2.5%
* O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ORLY]), RSI - 30; 1-week: -4.6%
* GE HealthCare Technologies (GEHC [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/GEHC]), RSI - 30; 1-week: -1.6%
* PepsiCo (PEP [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/PEP]), RSI - 30; 1-week: -6.2%
* Monster Beverage (MNST [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/MNST]), RSI - 31; 1-week: -4.4%

Traders often use RSI to spot trend reversals, entry/exit points, and overextended price moves. RSI above 70 indicates the stock may be overbought, while RSI below 30 indicates that the stock may be oversold.

Consumer staples stocks account for just 5.3% of the S&P 500, making it the seventh-largest sector weight in that index, but don't let that fool you. For what the sector lacks in glitz and glamour compared to, say, tech, it makes up for in familiarity. These companies make products consumers use every day, thereby creating brand loyalty.

Of course, investing isn't a popularity contest. Fortunately, household products and consumer packaged goods stocks offer credible reasons for investors to pay attention, including favorable volatility profiles, above-average dividend yields, and enviable track records of payout growth.

Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »These three consumer staples stocks are worth considering as buy-and-hold investments. Image source: Getty Images.

Those are attractive traits, but not all staple names possess them. It's a reminder that stocks in this sector don't move in lockstep. Nor do they all sport comparable valuations. Believe it or not, some marquee staple stocks are more expensive than Nvidia.

Good news: There are still plenty of staple names for buy-and-hold investors to evaluate. Let's take a look at three of them.

Unheralded stock with plenty of carbonation

Earlier this month, I highlighted Coca-Cola Consolidated (NASDAQ: COKE) as the "other Coca-Cola stock" to consider.

Keeping with the theme of evaluating unheralded soft drink equities, meet Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (NASDAQ: CCEP). This company is the international counterpart to Coca-Cola Consolidated, meaning it produces and ships Coca-Cola products to more than 600 million consumers in 31 markets. Like its domestic peer, the international bottler operates independent of Coca-Cola, but "big Coke" owns 19% of this company.

This company and potentially its shares benefit from rising demand for Coca-Cola products. Plus, it's a shareholder rewards story. It's showing signs of dependable dividend growth, and it's also a dedicated buyer of its own shares.

The doctor is in

Changes are afoot at Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) as the company nears the closure of its $18 billion acquisition of JDE Peet's. From there, it will split into two entities, focusing on global coffee and North American soft drinks.

That deal will lift Keurig's debt ratio, but the company had ample liquidity, including $1 billion in cash on hand, at the end of 2025. The Peet's transaction isn't small, but as the buyer digests it and separates its two core businesses, the expectation is that it will generate an average of $4.2 billion in annual free cash flow from 2027 through 2030.

Story Continues

Dividend growth may be slow or even stall while the doctor pares debt following the Peet's acquisition. Still, it's expected to reaccelerate once the beverage giant's debt ratio returns to normal levels.

Betting on a downtrodden staples stock

Investors who follow this sector know that Clorox (NYSE: CLX) has been a dud. Over the past five years, the stock is down 37.6%, while the S&P 500 Consumer Staples index is up 32%. That wide gap understandably makes investors leery about approaching this stock.

Clorox has some things going for it that could facilitate a rebound. The company is innovative, and its research and development efforts help it fend off competition from cheaper generic products. Plus, Clorox is a dividend stalwart, as its payout increase streak is approaching five decades, confirming it offers the dependability equity income investors crave.

Should you buy stock in Keurig Dr Pepper right now?

Before you buy stock in Keurig Dr Pepper, consider this:

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Keurig Dr Pepper wasn’t one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you’d have $508,607! Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you’d have $1,122,746!

Now, it’s worth noting Stock Advisor’s total average return is 933% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 188% for the S&P 500. Don't miss the latest top 10 list, available with Stock Advisor, and join an investing community built by individual investors for individual investors.
