Coca-Cola on Tuesday raised its full-year outlook as global demand for its drinks rose in the second quarter.

For 2024, Coke now expects organic revenue growth of 9% to 10%, up from its prior forecast of 8% to 9%. The company also raised its outlook for comparable earnings growth to a range of 5% to 6% from a previous range of 4% to 5%.

Shares of the company rose about 1% in premarket trading.

Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG:

  • Earnings per share: 84 cents adjusted versus 81 cents expected
  • Revenue: $12.36 billion versus $11.76 billion expected

Coke reported second-quarter net income attributable to shareholders of $2.41 billion, or 56 cents per share, down from $2.55 billion, or 59 cents per share, a year earlier.

Excluding items, the beverage giant earned 84 cents per share.

Net sales rose 3% to $12.36 billion. Organic revenue, which strips out acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency, climbed 15% in the quarter.

Coke’s unit case volume rose 2% for the quarter, helped by its international markets. The metric strips out the impact of pricing and foreign currency to reflect demand.

But in North America, volume fell 1% for the quarter. Coke’s rival PepsiCo reported earlier this month that the U.S. consumer has weakened, hurting demand for its own drinks and snacks.
