Coca-Cola Consolidated reported USD 2.39 second-quarter earnings per share, up from USD 2.15 a year earlier, in results released on August 6, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. At Lang & Schwarz, the stock was at EUR 189.78 on October 20, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. CEST; Nasdaq trading was up 1.55 percent against USD 209.92 on October 19, 2026.
Revenue growth met margin pressure
The second-quarter revenue figure was USD 2.05 billion, an 11.00 percent increase from the same quarter of 2025. Net income reached USD 158.8 million, down 15.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, while net margin fell to 7.70 percent from 10.00 percent.
The combination gives investors two different signals. Sales expanded at a double-digit rate, but the lower margin means higher expenses absorbed part of that growth. Operating cash flow reached USD 215.4 million in the second quarter of 2026.
Stock stays below its yearly high
Nasdaq-listed COKE traded at USD 213.18 on October 20, 2026 at 12:31 p.m. EDT, compared with USD 209.92 at the October 19 close. The stock's 52-week range was USD 126.00 to USD 219.65, and the session range was USD 206.77 to USD 214.56, according to MarketBeat.
