Coca-Cola raises 2026 forecast as Zero Sugar sales jump 16%
The drinks maker now expects higher revenue and profit this year, helped by favourable exchange rates and growing demand for sugar-free variants.
Coca-Cola raised its revenue and profit expectations for 2026 after stronger third-quarter results. Revenue reached $13.4bn (€11.9bn), 7% more than a year earlier. Net profit rose 8% to $4bn.
The company sold 5% more drinks in total. Consumers more often passed over high-calorie soft drinks: sales of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar jumped 16%. Coca-Cola said favourable exchange rates also helped its more upbeat outlook for the full year.
