Coca-Cola HBC beats revenue growth estimates, shares soar to record high
(Reuters) -Bottler Coca-Cola HBC AG reported first-quarter organic revenue growth above market expectations on Wednesday, supported by strong demand in its key emerging markets, sending shares to a record high. The company, which packages drinks such as Fanta, Sprite and Monster, reiterated its guidance for 2025 but cautioned that it expects the broader macroeconomic and geopolitical environment to be "challenging and unpredictable". "We see the business better able to navigate a more challenging environment versus history, given investments made over the past years around commercial capabilities and portfolio."
