Coca-Cola Meets Q2 Expectations on $13.1 Billion in Revenue

Coca-Cola reported second-quarter results before Tuesday's open, posting earnings of 92 cents per share on revenue of $13.1 billion — in line with analyst expectations and representing roughly 4% top-line growth from a year earlier.

The quarter extended the beverage giant's run of steady year-over-year growth, though commentary around margin pressure drew attention on the 8:30 a.m. ET investor call. Cost inflation and currency effects remain the key watch items for the second half.

Coca-Cola's 64-year dividend increase streak has kept the stock a defensive favorite this year as investors rotate toward staples amid a volatile week headlined by the Federal Reserve's rate decision.
