Key Takeaways CCEP's Southeast Asia revenues climbed 9% in first-half 2026, outpacing company-wide growth of 6.1%.Philippines' EBIT margin nears 10%, while Indonesia's sparkling volumes return to growth.CCEP's new Philippines facility is set to begin production in 2027, supporting regional capacity and demand. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (CCEP - Free Report) is getting a larger share of its growth from Southeast Asia, giving the company an additional expansion lever outside its mature European markets. First-half 2026 results showed faster regional revenue growth, better execution in the Philippines and Indonesia, and continued investment in production capacity.
The opportunity is meaningful, but the region still has to prove it can scale enough to offset slower growth and tougher comparisons elsewhere. CCEP’s execution, route-to-market improvements and planned capacity additions will be central to that test.

CCEP’s Southeast Asia Revenue Gains SpeedSoutheast Asia delivered solid mid-single-digit volume growth in the first half of 2026, while revenues increased 9% on an FX-neutral basis. That pace exceeded the company’s overall comparable FX-neutral revenue growth of 6.1% and highlights the region’s growing importance within CCEP’s geographic mix.
Management has described Southeast Asia as the company’s fastest-growing market area. The combination of population growth, category development and improving commercial execution gives CCEP room to expand beyond its established European base, where affordability pressure and tougher comparisons can limit growth.
CCEP Builds Momentum in the PhilippinesThe Philippines remains an important part of the Southeast Asia story. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar posted double-digit growth in the first half, while Wilkins water benefited from additional listings. Those gains show CCEP broadening demand across both sparkling and hydration categories.
Profitability is also improving. The Philippines’ EBIT margin is approaching CCEP’s 10% target, indicating that the business is making progress not only on revenues but also on operating economics. Better margins would make the market a more meaningful contributor to group profit as volumes scale.
CCEP’s Indonesia Reset Supports RecoveryIndonesia is showing signs of recovery after a weaker 2025 comparison. CCEP said sparkling volumes returned to growth in the first half, supported by products such as Coke Zero Vanilla and Sprite Nipis Mint, while Powerade was also introduced into the market.
A revamped route-to-market model is helping CCEP strengthen execution and improve category participation with distribution partners. That matters because the growth case in Indonesia depends on more than product launches. Wider availability, better outlet execution and stronger distribution can determine whether innovation translates into sustained volume gains.
How CCEP Compares With Bottling PeersThe Southeast Asia push also matters when CCEP is viewed against other Coca-Cola system bottlers. Coca-Cola HBC AG (CCHGY - Free Report) reported 9.6% organic revenue growth and 7.5% volume growth in the first half of 2026, with its Emerging segment posting 12% organic revenue growth. That performance shows how faster-growing geographies can lift the growth profile of a diversified bottler.
Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B. de C.V. (KOF - Free Report) , the world’s largest Coca-Cola franchise bottler by sales volume, reported 1.2% volume growth and 6% comparable revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026. Its scale across Latin America illustrates the value of building dense distribution and broad category participation in developing beverage markets. For CCEP, the Philippines and Indonesia offer a similar strategic opportunity, though the businesses are at different stages and operate in different regions.
CCEP Adds Capacity for Future Regional DemandCCEP is also investing ahead of expected demand. Construction of a new Philippines facility remains on track for production to begin in 2027, adding capacity to support long-term growth. The project sits alongside broader investment in coolers, technology and supply-chain capabilities.
Additional capacity should give CCEP more flexibility as consumption rises and the company expands its portfolio across zero sugar, water, sports and other faster-growing categories. If distribution and profitability continue improving, Southeast Asia could become a progressively larger part of CCEP’s growth algorithm rather than remain a smaller regional contributor.
CCEP’s Ratings Keep Execution Risk in FocusSoutheast Asia strengthens CCEP’s longer-term growth case, but the stock’s current ratings still call for caution. The business faces consumer affordability pressure, rising input and logistics costs and uneven performance across developed markets, while its valuation remains elevated relative to its own history.
CCEP currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). The stock has a Growth Score of B, but a Value Score of D, Momentum Score of C and VGM Score of C. The mix supports the view that Southeast Asia is a credible growth catalyst, but investors still need evidence that regional gains can become large enough and profitable enough to outweigh valuation, cost and mature-market risks.

Key Takeaways CCEP's first-half revenues rose 6.1%, while operating profit climbed 8.1%, supported by productivity gains.CCEP targets Euro 1.7 billion in 2026 free cash flow, supporting investments in capacity and distribution.CCEP trades at 21.3X forward P/E, above its five-year median of 16.7X, raising entry risks amid higher costs.
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (CCEP - Free Report) combines improving operating growth with a valuation that already sits near the top of its historical range. Faster-growing beverage categories, better productivity and healthy cash generation support the business case.
The trade-off is price. Consumer affordability remains a concern, revenue per unit case is advancing only modestly and higher cost inflation is expected in the second half of 2026. That mix favors selectivity rather than chasing growth at any valuation.
CCEP’s Growth Portfolio Strengthens the Bull CaseCCEP is broadening beyond traditional sparkling drinks into zero sugar, energy, sports and hydration. In the first half of 2026, sports volumes rose 12%, energy increased 19% and zero-sugar volumes advanced about 10%. Product launches and new pack formats can widen consumption occasions and help recruit consumers.
Energy remains a particularly active category. Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST - Free Report) , whose brands are distributed by CCEP in several markets, reported a 21.6% increase in second-quarter 2026 net sales for its Monster Energy Drinks segment. That backdrop supports CCEP’s push into faster-growing beverage categories.
CCEP’s Profit Growth Outpaces RevenueComparable FX-neutral revenues increased 6.1% in the first half of 2026, while comparable operating profit rose 8.1%. Operating margin reached 13.8%, up about 30 basis points, as productivity, efficiency programs and tighter discretionary spending helped profits grow faster than revenues.
Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (KDP - Free Report) provides another beverage-industry example of growth supported by operating leverage. Its U.S. Refreshment Beverages net sales increased 10% in the second quarter of 2026, driven by 6.5% volume and mix growth and 3.5% net price realization.
CCEP’s Cash Flow Funds Continued InvestmentComparable free cash flow reached €435 million in the first half despite investment in coolers, production lines, technology and the new Manila facility. The company remains on track for at least €1.7 billion of comparable free cash flow for 2026.
That cash generation gives CCEP room to invest in capacity and distribution while maintaining its broader growth program. More than 80,000 coolers were added during the first half, and the Philippines facility remains scheduled to begin production in 2027, supporting future demand.
CCEP’s Premium Multiple Raises the Entry RiskValuation is the main counterweight to the improving operating picture. CCEP trades at 21.3X forward 12-month earnings, above the soft-drink sub-industry’s 20.1X and well above its own five-year median of 16.7X. The multiple is also close to its five-year high of 21.5X.
That premium leaves less room for execution setbacks. Revenue per unit case rose just 0.4% in the first half, while cost of sales per unit case is expected to increase about 1.5% for 2026. Affordability pressure could also limit CCEP’s ability to rely on pricing and mix to offset inflation.

CCEP’s Ratings Favor Patience Over Chasing GrowthCCEP’s fundamentals are improving, but the combination of a premium valuation and near-term estimate pressure argues against treating the growth story alone as a sufficient reason to buy at current levels. The business has multiple growth levers, yet the present valuation demands continued execution.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). CCEP has a Growth Score of B, but its Value Score of D, Momentum Score of C and VGM Score of C are less supportive. Because Zacks Style Scores are designed to complement the Zacks Rank, the current mix favors patience over a fresh entry despite the company’s improving operating profile.

Key Takeaways CCEP has rallied 13.9% in four weeks, nearing its 52-week high amid strong growth in key beverage categories.Sports, energy and zero-sugar volumes rose 12%, 19% and about 10%, respectively, in the first half of 2026.CCEP's 21.3X forward P/E exceeds the industry, while rising costs and affordability pressures pose risks. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (CCEP - Free Report) has gained 13.9% in the past four weeks, extending a rally that has put the stock near its 52-week high. The question is whether operating momentum can keep supporting the advance.
Faster-growing beverage categories, broader distribution and Southeast Asian expansion strengthen the growth case. Valuation, affordability pressures and rising costs make further gains more dependent on execution.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
CCEP’s Faster-Growth Categories Add MomentumCCEP is getting more growth from categories beyond traditional sparkling beverages. In the first half of 2026, sports volumes rose 12%, energy volumes increased 19% and zero-sugar volumes advanced about 10%. Innovation across Coke Zero, Powerade and new pack formats is widening the range of consumption occasions.
Monster grew at roughly twice the energy category rate, while Monster Ultra volumes climbed more than 50%. Monster Beverage Corporation (MNST - Free Report) also reported a 20.2% increase in second-quarter 2026 net sales, reinforcing the broader strength of the energy segment.
CCEP’s Distribution Push Supports Volume GrowthThe company added more than 80,000 coolers in the first half, lifting its cooler base about 5%. Greater cold availability can support immediate-consumption occasions, while wins with Domino’s in Australia, Parkdean Resorts and Papa Johns in Great Britain widen customer reach.
Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (KDP - Free Report) offers another example of beverage growth supported by volume and pricing. Its second-quarter 2026 U.S. Refreshment Beverages net sales rose 10%, with volume and mix up 6.5% and net price realization up 3.5%.
CCEP’s Southeast Asia Business Builds ScaleSoutheast Asia is becoming a larger part of CCEP’s growth story. First-half volumes in the region increased at a solid mid-single-digit rate, while revenues advanced 9% on an FX-neutral basis.
The Philippines maintained solid momentum, including double-digit Coca-Cola Zero Sugar growth, while Indonesia’s sparkling portfolio returned to growth. A new Philippines production facility remains scheduled to start operations in 2027, adding capacity for future demand and supporting the region’s longer-term scale.
CCEP’s Valuation Could Limit Further UpsideThe rally has made valuation less forgiving. CCEP trades at 21.3X forward 12-month earnings, above the soft-drink sub-industry’s 20.1X and well above its own five-year median of 16.7X.
The stock is also close to its five-year valuation high of 21.5X. That premium does not rule out additional gains, but it raises the operating bar as investors weigh stronger category growth against consumer affordability and cost pressures.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
CCEP’s Mixed Signals Temper the Rally CaseThe near-term setup is balanced by a solid operating backdrop and a demanding valuation. CCEP still expects 2026 comparable FX-neutral revenue growth of 3-4% and operating-profit growth of about 7%, but cost of sales per unit case is expected to rise about 1.5% for the year.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Its Growth Score of B supports the longer-term growth profile, while the Value Score of D, Momentum Score of C and VGM Score of C are less favorable. The combination suggests investors should weigh CCEP’s operating progress against valuation and near-term estimate-revision trends rather than assume the recent rally will continue at the same pace.

On October 21, 2026, we conducted a DCF analysis for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PLC CCEP, which has shown strong price performance with a year-to-date increase of 26.4% and a one-year gain of 28.3%. However, our valuation models indicate a consensus that the stock is overvalued.
DCF Earnings-based intrinsic value of $71.33 vs current price of $113.41 (margin of safety: -59.0%) DCF FCF-based intrinsic value of $87.60 vs current price (modestly overvalued with -29.5% margin of safety) GF Score™ of 84/100, indicating a reliable assessment of the company's financial health What Is CCEP Worth? DCF Earnings-Based Model In our DCF earnings-based model, we utilized a two-stage approach. The first stage reflects a growth phase where earnings per share (EPS) is projected to grow at 8.4% annually for the first ten years, followed by a terminal phase with a growth rate of 4% for the subsequent ten years. The discount rate applied is 12%, which combines the risk-free rate and equity risk premium.
Parameter Value Current EPS (TTM, excl. non-recurring) $5.36 10-Year Growth Rate 8.4% 10-Year Treasury Rate 5.12% Discount Rate (ceil(Treasury) + 6%) 12% Terminal Growth Rate 4% The calculation summary for the two-stage model is as follows:
Stage Description Value Growth Stage (Years 1-10) EPS growing at 8.4%, discounted at 12% $45.01 Terminal Stage (Years 11-20) 4% terminal growth, discounted at 12% $26.32 Intrinsic Value Growth + Terminal $71.33 With the current price at $113.41, the intrinsic value of $71.33 indicates that CCEP is significantly overvalued, with a margin of safety of -59.0%. It is important to note that GuruFocus utilizes EPS without non-recurring items, as research shows that stock prices correlate more closely with earnings than free cash flow. For further analysis, visit the CCEP DCF Calculator.
What Does the Free Cash Flow DCF Say? The free cash flow (FCF)-based intrinsic value for CCEP is calculated at $87.60. When compared to the earnings-based valuation, both models agree on the overvaluation of the stock, with the FCF model indicating a modestly overvalued status and a margin of safety of -29.5%.
How Does GF Value™ Compare to the DCF Models? The GF Value™ for CCEP stands at $97.12, offering a third perspective on the company's valuation. This proprietary measure is derived from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. All three models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—align in their assessment that CCEP is overvalued. For more details, check the GF Value™.
What Does CCEP's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ evaluates a company's financial strength, profitability, growth potential, valuation, and momentum. CCEP's score of 84/100 suggests a solid financial standing, although its predictability rank of 0/5 stars indicates that the DCF model may be less reliable for this stock. The following table summarizes the key metrics:
Metric Rating GF Score™ 84/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 8/10 Growth 7/10 Valuation 6/10 Momentum 8/10 With a predictability rank of 0/5 stars, the DCF model's reliability for CCEP is diminished. For more insights, visit the CCEP stock page.
Key Assumptions and Limitations It is essential to note that DCF models are highly sensitive to the assumptions made regarding growth rates and discount rates. Additionally, stocks with low predictability ratings, such as CCEP's 0/5 stars, tend to yield less reliable DCF estimates. The terminal growth rate of 4% is a simplifying assumption that may not fully capture future market dynamics.
What This Means for Investors In summary, all three valuation models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—indicate that Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PLC is overvalued at its current price of $113.41. The consensus among these models suggests caution for potential investors. Furthermore, the guru ownership signal shows that five gurus currently hold the stock, with three adding and three trimming their positions in recent quarters, which adds an additional layer of scrutiny to the stock's valuation. Insider activity has not been present in the past 12 months. For a deeper dive into the analysis, check out the CCEP DCF Calculator.

Spend enough time studying index inclusion rules, and investors will learn that one requirement for entry into the S&P 500 is that the company be based in the U.S. That's not the case with the Nasdaq-100 index, which allows foreign companies to be included.
Granted, the smattering of ex-U.S. companies in the Nasdaq-100 is small. Just 3% of the index's weight, but there are some interesting names among that group, including some for dividend investors. Enter Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP -0.47%).
This Coca-Cola bottling stock could become a dividend star over the long term.
For those who aren't familiar with this company, it's the world's largest independent bottler, by revenue, of Coca-Cola (KO -0.17%) products, and yes, the ties extend to the financial realm, as "big Coke" owns about 19% of this international bottling firm. Now, let's get into the fun part, including the dividend.
Coke ties and a solid dividend Coca-Cola is beloved by dividend investors due in large part to its status as a Dividend King, or one of the companies that has raised payouts for at least 50 consecutive years. The beverage giant's streak of dividend increases spans an impressive 64 years.
A lot of stocks, including Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, have a long way to go to get to that pantheon. But this international Coke bottler has an interesting story to tell. It's been paying dividends for a decade, and there are tangible signs of growth. With a dividend yield of about 2%, this is by no means a high-dividend stock, but its yield is more than quadruple that of the Nasdaq-100.
All right, so that's not saying much, because that index is notoriously low-yielding due to its large weight in growth stocks that pay paltry or no dividends. Still, there's a lot of long-term potential with the Coca-Cola Europacific Partners dividend. It's considered extremely safe, and the company's payout ratio is just 34%, implying there's room for growth and the dividend isn't a burden.

Those are among the reasons why long-term dividend investors may want to examine this stock, particularly since it is enduring a correction. It's down 10.5% from its 52-week high, but even with that pullback, it's up 12.2% year to date, or more than double the returns offered by the largest consumer staples exchange-traded fund (ETF). The bottler is also a dedicated buyer of its own shares, which lifts earnings per share (EPS) while decreasing the number of shares on which dividends must be paid.
Bet on the bottler Coca-Cola is one of the most venerable dividend stocks on the market, and it's appropriate for any number of investors, but bottlers are paramount to the company's success. Including Europacific Partners, the top-five Coke bottlers account for more than half of the soft drink behemoth's global volume.
With exposure to three continents, including footprints in mature regions such as Western Europe and some emerging markets, Europacific Partners is a vital cog in the broader Coca-Cola ecosystem.
Another reason to consider betting on the bottler is its debt-reduction efforts, which could support dividend growth. Net debt-to-earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is expected to decline to 2x next year, then to 1x in 2030.
On September 16, 2026, we conducted a DCF analysis for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PLC CCEP. The stock has shown a year-to-date increase of 14.7% and a one-year rise of 19.1%, despite a recent decline of 4.4% over the past month and 3.4% in the last week.
DCF Earnings-based intrinsic value: $81.35 vs current price: $102.94 (margin of safety: -26.5%) DCF FCF-based intrinsic value: $84.88 (second opinion) GF Score™: 85/100, indicating a reliable assessment of the DCF inputs What Is CCEP Worth? DCF Earnings-Based Model The DCF earnings-based model for CCEP employs a two-stage approach, allowing for an initial growth phase followed by a terminal phase. This model assumes a current EPS of $5.36, with a projected growth rate of 10.4% for the first ten years, after which the growth rate stabilizes at 4% for the subsequent ten years.
Parameter Value Current EPS (TTM, excl. non-recurring) $5.36 10-Year Growth Rate 10.4% 10-Year Treasury Rate 4.99% Discount Rate (ceil(Treasury) + 6%) 11% Terminal Growth Rate 4% The calculation summary for the two-stage model is as follows:
Stage Description Value Growth Stage (Years 1-10) EPS growing at 10.4%, discounted at 11% $48.02 Terminal Stage (Years 11-20) 4% terminal growth, discounted at 11% $33.33 Intrinsic Value Growth + Terminal $81.35 With the current price at $102.94, the stock appears modestly overvalued, presenting a margin of safety of -26.5%. It is important to note that GuruFocus utilizes EPS excluding non-recurring items, as research indicates that stock prices correlate more closely with earnings than with free cash flow. For further details, you can access the CCEP DCF Calculator.
What Does the Free Cash Flow DCF Say? The free cash flow (FCF)-based intrinsic value for CCEP is calculated at $84.88. This value aligns closely with the earnings-based intrinsic value of $81.35, reinforcing the conclusion that the stock is modestly overvalued, with a margin of safety of -21.3%.
How Does GF Value™ Compare to the DCF Models? The GF Value™ for CCEP stands at $99.87, providing a third perspective on valuation. This proprietary measure from GuruFocus is derived from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. All three models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—concur that CCEP is currently overvalued. For more information, visit the GF Value™ page.
What Does CCEP's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ evaluates a company's financial strength, profitability, growth potential, valuation, and momentum. CCEP has a GF Score™ of 85/100, indicating a strong overall performance. However, its predictability rank is notably low at 0/5 stars, suggesting that the DCF model may be less reliable for this stock.
Key Assumptions and Limitations It is essential to recognize that DCF models are highly sensitive to the assumptions made regarding growth rates and discount rates. Additionally, stocks with low predictability ratings, such as CCEP, tend to yield less reliable DCF estimates. The terminal growth rate of 4% is a simplifying assumption that may not reflect future market conditions.
What This Means for Investors In summary, all three valuation models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—indicate that CCEP is overvalued at its current price. The consensus suggests caution for potential investors, especially considering the mixed signals from guru ownership activity, where five gurus currently hold the stock, with three adding and three trimming their positions in recent quarters. This indicates a lack of strong conviction in the stock's future performance. For a deeper dive into the analysis, check out the CCEP DCF Calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions What is CCEP's intrinsic value based on DCF?

On August 26, 2026, we conducted a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PLC CCEP, a company that has shown a strong price performance with a year-to-date increase of 22.3% and a one-year increase of 25.7%. However, our analysis indicates that CCEP is significantly overvalued based on multiple valuation models. Here are the key takeaways:
DCF Earnings-based intrinsic value of $81.35 vs current price of $109.77 (margin of safety: -34.9%) DCF Free Cash Flow (FCF)-based intrinsic value of $84.88 (modestly overvalued with -29.3% margin of safety) GF Score™ of 85/100, indicating a high level of reliability in the DCF inputs used What Is CCEP Worth? DCF Earnings-Based Model Our DCF analysis employs a two-stage model to assess the intrinsic value of CCEP. The first stage reflects a growth phase over the next ten years, where we expect earnings per share (EPS) to grow at a rate of 10.4% annually. The second stage accounts for a terminal growth rate of 4% for the following ten years. Below are the assumptions used in our model:
Parameter Value Current EPS (TTM, excl. non-recurring) $4.95 10-Year Growth Rate 10.4% 10-Year Treasury Rate 4.64% Discount Rate (ceil(Treasury) + 6%) 11% Terminal Growth Rate 4% The following table summarizes the calculations for the two stages:
Stage Description Value Growth Stage (Years 1-10) EPS growing at 10.4%, discounted at 11% $48.02 Terminal Stage (Years 11-20) 4% terminal growth, discounted at 11% $33.33 Intrinsic Value Growth + Terminal $81.35 With the current price at $109.77, the intrinsic value of $81.35 indicates that CCEP is significantly overvalued, presenting a margin of safety of -34.9%. It is important to note that GuruFocus utilizes EPS excluding non-recurring items, as research shows that stock prices correlate more closely with earnings than with free cash flow. For further details, you can access the CCEP DCF Calculator.
What Does the Free Cash Flow DCF Say? In addition to the earnings-based model, we also evaluated CCEP using a free cash flow (FCF) DCF model, which yielded an intrinsic value of $84.88. This value aligns closely with the earnings-based intrinsic value, reinforcing the conclusion that CCEP is modestly overvalued, with a margin of safety of -29.3%.
How Does GF Value™ Compare to the DCF Models? The GF Value™ for CCEP stands at $102.19, providing a third perspective on the company's valuation. GF Value™ is a proprietary measure from GuruFocus that is derived from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. All three valuation models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—concur that CCEP is overvalued, further solidifying our assessment. For more information, visit the GF Value™ page.
What Does CCEP's GF Score™ Tell Us? The GF Score™ measures the overall quality of a stock based on various factors, including financial strength, profitability, growth, valuation, and momentum. CCEP has a GF Score™ of 85/100, indicating a strong performance in these areas. However, it is crucial to note that the predictability rank is 0/5 stars, suggesting that the DCF model may be less reliable for this stock.
Metric Rating GF Score™ 85/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 8/10 Growth 7/10 Valuation 7/10 Momentum 10/10 For more insights, visit the CCEP stock page.
Key Assumptions and Limitations It is important to recognize that DCF models are highly sensitive to the assumptions made regarding growth rates and discount rates. Stocks with low predictability ratings, such as CCEP's 0/5 stars, tend to produce less reliable DCF estimates. The terminal growth rate of 4% used in our calculations is a simplifying assumption that may not reflect future realities.
What This Means for Investors In summary, all three valuation models—DCF earnings, DCF FCF, and GF Value™—indicate that CCEP is overvalued. The consensus across these models suggests caution for potential investors. Additionally, the guru ownership signal shows that five gurus currently hold the stock, with three adding and three trimming their positions in recent quarters. This mixed activity may reflect uncertainty about CCEP's future performance. With no insider transactions reported in the past 12 months, investors should consider these factors carefully.

Investors with an interest in Beverages - Soft drinks stocks have likely encountered both Primo Brands (PRMB) and Coca-Cola European (CCEP). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (NASDAQ:CCEP) reported higher first-half revenue, operating profit and earnings per share, citing broad-based volume growth, market-share gains and continued momentum in zero-sugar, energy, sports and hydration beverages.
Chief Executive Officer Damian Gammell said the company delivered a “strong first half” as brand partnerships, customer relationships and in-market execution supported growth across its European and Australia-Pacific operations. Management reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance, while noting that the second half includes six fewer trading days than the first half.
Unless otherwise stated, the company presented figures on a comparable and foreign-exchange-neutral basis.
First-Half Revenue and Profit Growth CCEP reported first-half revenue of €10.7 billion, up 6.1%. Volume increased 5.6%, or 2.2% after adjusting for six additional consumption days in the first half. Growth occurred in both Europe and Australia-Pacific, and Gammell said June was the company’s largest volume month on record.
Revenue per case rose 0.4%, compared with nearly 4% growth in the prior-year period. Headline price increases, promotional optimization, energy-category growth and additional cooler placements helped revenue per case, but those factors were partly offset by increased sales of larger formats in Europe. The company also faced a revenue headwind from its Suntory alcohol exit in Australia-Pacific, which represented slightly more than 1% of total first-half revenue. Excluding alcohol, Australia-Pacific revenue rose 10%.
Operating profit was €1.5 billion, up 8.1%. Operating margin rose about 30 basis points to 13.8%. Cost of sales per unit case increased 0.6%, below the company’s full-year expectation of around 1.5%. Operating expenses represented 21.4% of revenue, improving about 40 basis points, aided by discretionary-spending savings and productivity gains. Diluted earnings per share rose 10.6% to €2.20. Free cash flow was €435 million, slightly above the prior-year period. The company said it has completed about €600 million of its planned €1 billion full-year share repurchase program. It continues to target comparable free cash flow of at least €1.7 billion for 2026.
Portfolio Growth Led by Zero Sugar and Energy Gammell said CCEP is expanding its portfolio in faster-growing categories while continuing to invest in core Coca-Cola brands. Zero-sugar volume increased 10% in the first half, supported by Coke Zero Sugar, Sprite, Fanta, sports drinks and energy offerings.
Sports and hydration volume rose 12%, with Aquarius performing strongly in Iberia and Powerade posting double-digit growth, supported by FIFA-related activation. Energy volume increased 19%, while Monster grew at roughly twice the category rate and gained 230 basis points of share, according to the company.
Management also highlighted growth in water, including smartwater in Great Britain and Wilkins in the Philippines. In Australia, Grinders became the top coffee-bean brand in retail, with sales exceeding AUD 100 million.
New product launches included Coca-Cola Cherry Float in Great Britain, Sprite Chill, Coke Zero Caffeine Free, new Fanta zero-sugar flavors, Sprite Nipis Mint and Coke Zero Vanilla in Indonesia, and Powerade’s introduction in Indonesia. Gammell said 500-milliliter “Supercans” had exceeded the company’s expectations, particularly among younger consumers.
Customer Wins, Coolers and FIFA Activation CCEP added more than 80,000 coolers during the year to date, a 5% increase, and more than 10% above the level in place when its accelerated cold-availability program began last year. Chief Financial Officer Ed Walker said well-placed coolers can generate returns within a couple of years, with connected equipment providing information on purchases, product assortment and sales rates.
The company cited customer wins including selected McDonald’s markets, Domino’s in Australia, Parkdean Resorts, Papa John’s and Leeds United in Great Britain, as well as Marriott International. The Marriott agreement covers more than 600 hotels in CCEP markets and is scheduled to begin rolling out in the second half.
Gammell said the company’s FIFA World Cup 2026 program was its largest activation effort to date. CCEP delivered more than 500,000 displays, activated more than 47,000 outlets among its top European home-market customers, distributed 163 million packs featuring Panini promotions, and produced more than 135 million team and player cans. More than 1.3 million FIFA items were awarded to shoppers through purchases of its products.
Southeast Asia and Outlook Management described Indonesia and the Philippines as an emerging Southeast Asia growth engine. In Indonesia, sparkling beverages continued to outgrow the overall category, helped by a revised go-to-market model, distribution-partner execution and product launches. Gammell said tea remains an area of weakness, though the company expects continued sparkling growth in the second half.
In the Philippines, a Coke Zero campaign supported double-digit volume growth, while Wilkins benefited from new listings. CCEP said construction of a new Philippines facility remains on track for production in 2027 and that local margins are approaching its 10% target.
During the question-and-answer session, executives said second-half trading had started well, with favorable weather in many markets and momentum continuing from June. However, they maintained guidance rather than raising it, citing five months remaining in the year, six fewer trading days in the second half, and uncertainty around costs related to the Middle East. Walker said the majority of those costs are expected to fall in the second half and are incorporated in existing guidance.
Looking ahead, Gammell said CCEP expects continued benefits from innovation, cooler placements, customer wins, pricing and revenue-growth management, as well as investments in technology and artificial intelligence. The company is using AI tools to analyze commercial and manufacturing data, support promotional pricing decisions and improve supply-chain productivity.

Critica Ltd (ASX:CRI, OTC:VTMLF, FRA:VQI0) has achieved a further significant improvement in the processing flowsheet for its Jupiter Rare Earth Project in Western Australia, reducing sulphuric acid consumption by around 30% under optimised conditions.
The latest results mark the next stage of Critica’s hydrometallurgical optimisation program and demonstrate that acid consumption of approximately one tonne per tonne of feed can be achieved while maintaining strong rare earth recoveries.
Lower acid consumption has the potential to materially reduce downstream processing costs, strengthening the technical and economic foundations of Jupiter as Critica finalises a scoping study scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2026.
Building on earlier processing gains The hydrometallurgical results follow a series of improvements across the Jupiter processing flowsheet.
In April 2026, pilot optimisation work delivered magnet rare earth oxide recoveries of around 81%, while subsequent testing announced in May produced a roughly 14-times upgrade to a concentrate grading about 3% total rare earth oxide.
The beneficiation work also increased mass rejection, reducing the volume of material requiring more costly downstream hydrometallurgical treatment.
Critica has since turned its attention to optimising the acid bake circuit, where sulphuric acid represents a significant component of processing costs.
Independent work by ANSTO, GAVAQ and AMML confirmed that acid consumption of about one tonne per tonne of feed could be achieved under optimised operating conditions.
Systematic flowsheet optimisation Critica chief executive officer Jacob Deysel said the results reflected the company’s strategy of improving each stage of the Jupiter flowsheet while preserving rare earth recovery.
“Our approach has been to systematically optimise each stage of the Jupiter processing flowsheet and these latest results represent another important step in that programme,” Deysel said.
“Following the improvements already demonstrated in magnet rare earth recovery and concentrate grade, our downstream optimisation work is now demonstrating materially lower sulphuric acid consumption.
“This is particularly important given the significance of acid consumption to the hydrometallurgical processing cost.”
Deysel said Critica was focused on optimising the complete processing pathway rather than individual stages in isolation.
“Success comes from maintaining strong rare earth recoveries while systematically improving every stage of the processing flowsheet,” he said.
“Pleasingly, ANSTO, GAVAQ and AMML have independently confirmed that acid consumption of approximately one tonne of acid per tonne of feed can be achieved under optimised conditions.”
Scoping study due in third quarter Critica will incorporate the latest beneficiation and hydrometallurgical results into the Jupiter scoping study, which is expected to be released during the third quarter of 2026.
“With optimisation now demonstrated across beneficiation recovery, concentrate grade and downstream reagent consumption, we continue to strengthen the technical foundations of Jupiter as we finalise the Scoping Study for release in Q3 2026,” Deysel said.
Critica is an Australian critical minerals company advancing the Jupiter Rare Earth Project in Western Australia and the Mt Lindsay Tin-Tungsten Project in Tasmania.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners PLC (LSE:CCEP, NASDAQ:CCEP) was hit by profit-taking after the drinks bottler reported higher first-half profit and reaffirmed its full-year guidance.
The shares fell 4.3% to 7,710p, having hit an all-time high in the run-up to the interim results.
Revenue increased 4.4% to €10.7 billion in the six months to 3 July, or 6.1% on a comparable currency-neutral basis. Reported operating profit rose 6.9% to €1.5 billion, while diluted earnings per share climbed 9.1% to €2.17.
However, second-quarter revenue growth slowed to 2.5%, or 3.3% excluding currency movements. Revenue per unit case edged up just 0.1%, even as volumes grew 3.2% after adjusting for trading days.
In Europe, quarterly volumes increased 2.3%, supported by warmer weather in June and the company's FIFA World Cup marketing campaign. Asia-Pacific volumes rose 5%, driven by the Philippines and a recovery in Indonesia.
Chief executive Damian Gammell said the consumer environment remained challenging, while the full impact of the conflict in the Middle East was uncertain.
The group retained its guidance for currency-neutral revenue growth of between 3% and 4% in the 2026 financial year, alongside operating profit growth of around 7%.
It also continues to expect free cash flow of at least €1.7 billion. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners has completed €593 million of its planned €1 billion share buyback.

Investors looking for stocks in the Beverages - Soft drinks sector might want to consider either Fomento Economico (FMX - Free Report) or Coca-Cola European (CCEP - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out.
The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The proven Zacks Rank emphasizes companies with positive estimate revision trends, and our Style Scores highlight stocks with specific traits.
Fomento Economico and Coca-Cola European are sporting Zacks Ranks of #1 (Strong Buy) and #4 (Sell), respectively, right now. This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that FMX is likely seeing its earnings outlook improve to a greater extent. But this is just one factor that value investors are interested in.
Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.
Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.
FMX currently has a forward P/E ratio of 20.84, while CCEP has a forward P/E of 21.21. We also note that FMX has a PEG ratio of 0.70. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. CCEP currently has a PEG ratio of 2.41.
Another notable valuation metric for FMX is its P/B ratio of 2.66. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, CCEP has a P/B of 5.16.
These are just a few of the metrics contributing to FMX's Value grade of B and CCEP's Value grade of D.
FMX sticks out from CCEP in both our Zacks Rank and Style Scores models, so value investors will likely feel that FMX is the better option right now.
Investors interested in stocks from the Beverages - Soft drinks sector have probably already heard of Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc (KDP) and Coca-Cola European (CCEP). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?

Consumer staples stocks account for just 5.3% of the S&P 500, making it the seventh-largest sector weight in that index, but don't let that fool you. For what the sector lacks in glitz and glamour compared to, say, tech, it makes up for in familiarity. These companies make products consumers use every day, thereby creating brand loyalty.
Of course, investing isn't a popularity contest. Fortunately, household products and consumer packaged goods stocks offer credible reasons for investors to pay attention, including favorable volatility profiles, above-average dividend yields, and enviable track records of payout growth.
These three consumer staples stocks are worth considering as buy-and-hold investments. Image source: Getty Images.
Those are attractive traits, but not all staple names possess them. It's a reminder that stocks in this sector don't move in lockstep. Nor do they all sport comparable valuations. Believe it or not, some marquee staple stocks are more expensive than Nvidia.
Good news: There are still plenty of staple names for buy-and-hold investors to evaluate. Let's take a look at three of them.
Unheralded stock with plenty of carbonation Earlier this month, I highlighted Coca-Cola Consolidated (COKE 0.09%) as the "other Coca-Cola stock" to consider.
Keeping with the theme of evaluating unheralded soft drink equities, meet Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP +0.75%). This company is the international counterpart to Coca-Cola Consolidated, meaning it produces and ships Coca-Cola products to more than 600 million consumers in 31 markets. Like its domestic peer, the international bottler operates independent of Coca-Cola, but "big Coke" owns 19% of this company.

This company and potentially its shares benefit from rising demand for Coca-Cola products. Plus, it's a shareholder rewards story. It's showing signs of dependable dividend growth, and it's also a dedicated buyer of its own shares.
The doctor is in Changes are afoot at Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP +0.44%) as the company nears the closure of its $18 billion acquisition of JDE Peet's. From there, it will split into two entities, focusing on global coffee and North American soft drinks.
That deal will lift Keurig's debt ratio, but the company had ample liquidity, including $1 billion in cash on hand, at the end of 2025. The Peet's transaction isn't small, but as the buyer digests it and separates its two core businesses, the expectation is that it will generate an average of $4.2 billion in annual free cash flow from 2027 through 2030.

Dividend growth may be slow or even stall while the doctor pares debt following the Peet's acquisition. Still, it's expected to reaccelerate once the beverage giant's debt ratio returns to normal levels.
Betting on a downtrodden staples stock Investors who follow this sector know that Clorox (CLX 0.82%) has been a dud. Over the past five years, the stock is down 37.6%, while the S&P 500 Consumer Staples index is up 32%. That wide gap understandably makes investors leery about approaching this stock.

Clorox has some things going for it that could facilitate a rebound. The company is innovative, and its research and development efforts help it fend off competition from cheaper generic products. Plus, Clorox is a dividend stalwart, as its payout increase streak is approaching five decades, confirming it offers the dependability equity income investors crave.
