COCA-COLA CONSOLIDATED, INC.
COCA-COLA CONSOLIDATED, INC. (COKE) has a dated report snapshot, but its current priced-in claim is temporarily suppressed because the live engine record is unavailable or has changed.
Coca-Cola Consolidated screens with negative book equity, which looks alarming until you see the cause: a large share buyback, including purchasing all 18.8 million shares held by a Coca-Cola Company subsidiary at $127 in November 2025, drove retained earnings into deficit. This is capital return, not distress. The operating business is solid and growing. First-quarter 2026 revenue rose 17% to $1.85 billion, EPS climbed to $1.68 from $1.19 (post a 10-for-1 split), and net income rose to $111.6
