Coca-Cola (KO) Q3 2025 earnings

Coca-Cola reported quarterly earnings and revenue that topped expectations, but the beverage giant said that demand for its drinks is still soft but improving.

“After a slower start, we ended with improved performance during the quarter,” CFO John Murphy said on the company’s conference call on Tuesday.

Shares of Coke climbed more than 3% in morning trading.

Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street analysts surveyed by LSEG were expecting:

  • Earnings per share: 82 cents adjusted vs. 78 cents expected
  • Revenue: $12.41 billion adjusted vs. $12.39 billion expected

Coke reported third-quarter net income attributable to shareholders of $3.7 billion, or 86 cents per share, up from $2.85 billion, or 66 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding restructuring charges and other items, Coke earned 82 cents per share.

Net sales rose 5% to $12.46 billion. Coke’s organic revenue, which strips out acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency, increased 6%.

Shares climbed nearly 3% in premarket trading.

The company’s unit case volume rose 1%, a reversal from last quarter’s decline. The metric excludes the impact of pricing and foreign currency to reflect demand.

But volume in both Latin America and North America, two key markets, was flat for the quarter. Coke executives have said that low-income consumers in the U.S. have been buying fewer of its products. The company is now trying to target them with “affordable” options, like mini cans of its soda, which have a lower price tag but cost more per ounce.

“Despite ongoing differences in spending between income groups and slower traffic across channels, [North American] volume was flat and improved sequentially for the second consecutive quarter,” Coke Chief Operating Officer Henrique Braun said on the company’s conference call.

A similar dynamic is occurring in Europe, which also saw volume decline, according to executives. The broader Europe, Middle East and Africa division reported volume growth of 3%.

Worldwide, Coke saw the largest volume growth from its water, sports, coffee and tea segment. Its bottled water and sports drinks both saw volume increase 3%, while coffee and tea reported volume growth of 2%. The company’s sparkling soft drinks volume was flat for the quarter, while its juice, value-added dairy and plant-based beverage segment reported that volume shrank 3%.

The company reiterated its full-year forecast. Coke is expecting comparable earnings per share to rise 3% and organic revenue to increase 5% to 6%.

Looking ahead to 2026, Coke is projecting a slight tailwind to both its revenue and comparable earnings from currency fluctuations. The company will provide a full forecast for the upcoming year in its fourth-quarter earnings report.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
