MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Friday, September 12, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these CocaCola pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

CocaCola
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Coke:

The current stock price is around $70, which is close to its 50-day moving average, indicating potential stability in the stock's performance.
Coke recently reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.87, surpassing analyst expectations, which reflects strong financial health and operational efficiency.
The company has a solid net margin of approximately 25.89%, suggesting effective cost management and profitability.
Coke has announced a quarterly dividend of $0.51, translating to an annualized dividend of $2.04, providing a steady income stream for investors.
Analysts have a consensus target price of around $76.93, indicating potential upside for investors based on current market evaluations.

CocaCola
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Coke for these reasons:

The company's revenue for the latest quarter was slightly below analyst estimates, which may raise concerns about future growth potential.
Coke's dividend payout ratio is approximately 72.34%, which indicates that a significant portion of earnings is being distributed as dividends, potentially limiting reinvestment in growth opportunities.
Recent price target adjustments by analysts show a downward trend, with some targets being lowered, which could signal a lack of confidence in short-term performance.
While the company has a strong return on equity of 44.91%, it may also indicate that the company is heavily reliant on debt to finance its operations, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment.
Market competition in the beverage industry is intensifying, which could impact Coke's market share and pricing power in the future.
