Synthesis
Coca-Cola Consolidated Inc (COKE.O) is a beverage company operating within the Consumer Staples sector. The firm is headquartered in the United States and is primarily listed on the NASDAQ exchange. As specific segment and geographic data are not provided, the company is described at the industry level as a producer of beverages.
Coca-Cola Consolidated Inc exhibits a capital structure characterized by negative total equity of -739.7 million USD and high leverage, with long-term debt standing at 2.69 billion USD against cash and equivalents of 281.9 million USD. The debt-to-equity ratio is -3.63, reflecting the negative equity position, while the current liquidity position is assessed as medium risk. Operating cash flow of 931.9 million USD provides coverage for capital expenditures of 312.3 million USD, resulting in positive free cash flow generation despite the balance sheet leverage.
Profitability metrics show a return on assets of 13.27%, indicating efficient asset utilization, while the return on equity is -77.19% due to the negative equity base. The company generated net income of 570.6 million USD on revenue of 7.23 billion USD, yielding a net margin of approximately 7.9%. Without cohort median data for direct comparison, the positive operating income of 950.7 million USD suggests stable operational profitability within the beverage bottling industry.
Revenue concentration is significant, with disclosed relationships indicating that Walmart Inc. accounts for approximately 21% of total bottle/can sales volume and The Kroger Co. accounts for 15%. This high dependency on a few large retail customers creates concentration risk in the distribution channel. The company’s activity is focused on the Beverages industry within the Consumer Staples sector.
Growth trajectory analysis is limited by the absence of historical period data in the input. The latest normalized period shows revenue of 7.23 billion USD and gross profit of 2.87 billion USD. Without multi-year trend data, year-over-year growth rates cannot be calculated from the provided snapshot.
Risk factors include medium liquidity risk and unknown dilution risk, as basic and diluted share counts are missing from the data. Key flags indicate that net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, highlighting reliance on debt financing. The inability to assess dilution risk due to missing share count data limits the completeness of the equity risk profile.
Recent observations include ESG scoring with a total score of 10.38 and a grade of D, with the Social pillar scoring highest at 15.49 and the Environment pillar lowest at 3.33. The company maintains strong customer relationships with major retailers, as evidenced by the disclosed sales volume percentages for Walmart and Kroger. No specific filing, news, or transcript events were provided in the input data.
- Negative total equity of -739.7 million USD results in a negative debt-to-equity ratio of -3.63 and negative ROE of -77.19%.
