Track KO free→Coca-Cola grows organic revenue about 4% to 5% yearly. Profit per share rises 8% to 9%. Free cash flow hits about $12.2 billion in 2026. The company keeps winning with strong brand and partnerships.
Tax case risks cash flow and financial health. Brand deal issues could hurt revenue growth. Executive departures may disrupt operations.
The price is about 32% above our fair value near $63. Analysts expect only 1% revenue growth, below management's 4% to 5% target. Our fair value is 28% below the Street median, which is optimistic.
