Coca-Cola (ISIN US1912161007) has a fresh analyst target of USD 102.00 after Citigroup raised its forecast from USD 100.00 on October 14, 2026, according to MarketScreener. Coca-Cola stock gained 33.63 percent year to date as of October 20, 2026. At Lang & Schwarz, it was trading at EUR 82.93 on October 20, 2026 at 4:40 p.m. CEST, down 0.72 percent versus the Xetra close of October 19, 2026 at EUR 83.53.
Quarterly revenue sets the base
The latest reported quarter ended July 3, 2026. Coca-Cola posted USD 13.38 billion in revenue and USD 4.43 billion in net income attributable to common shareholders, while diluted earnings per share reached USD 1.03. The net profit margin was 33.00 percent for the quarter. The company's investor-relations page identifies these figures as its second-quarter 2026 results and lists the quarter end as July 3, 2026, The Coca-Cola Company.
Price position remains measurable
The NYSE quote was USD 93.17 on October 20, 2026 at 10:55 a.m. EDT. Coca-Cola's 52-week range was USD 67.27 to USD 94.10, placing the stock USD 0.93 below its high. The current valuation was USD 400.9 billion, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 28.00 and a dividend yield of 2.00 percent.
What does the target imply?
Citigroup's USD 102.00 target stood 9.48 percent above the USD 93.17 NYSE price on October 20, 2026. That spread gives the analyst action more weight than the modest daily decline in the German euro quotation, but it also leaves the target dependent on Coca-Cola's upcoming earnings update.
Valuation and dates

The company also lists its regular quarterly dividend release dated October 15, 2026, with payment scheduled for December 15, 2026. The quarterly report is the next scheduled operating checkpoint.
