Coke's quarterly revenue as well as sales volumes fall, but still beats expectations


Coca-Cola reported higher-than-expected revenue in the third quarter as higher prices offset lower sales volumes.

Revenue fell 1% to $11.9 billion, but still beat Wall Street’s forecast of $11.6 billion, according to analysts polled by FactSet.

The Atlanta beverage giant raised prices 10% in the July-September period. Coke has raised prices every quarter since the end of 2020. But unit case volumes fell 1%.

Coke’s net income fell 8% to $2.8 billion. Adjusted for one-time items, the company earned 77 cents per share, which also beat analyst expectations of 75 cents.

Coke shares fell 2% in premarket trading Wednesday.
