Coca-Cola's Financial Snapshot: Scale, Margins, and Steady Growth

A plain-English look at Coca-Cola's FY2025 revenue, profit margins, and market value, based solely on public filings and market data.

Few names carry the global recognition of Coca-Cola. From its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, the company has spent over a century building a beverage business that now reaches more than 200 countries and regions. Looking past the familiar red logo, the underlying numbers tell a story of a large, highly profitable, and steadily growing enterprise.

A Global Beverage Giant

Coca-Cola describes itself as the world's largest nonalcoholic beverage company, with a portfolio of 200 brands spanning carbonated soft drinks, water, sports drinks, energy drinks, juice, and coffee. It doesn't sell most of these products directly to consumers; instead, it works with bottlers and distribution partners who handle much of the finished-product delivery to retailers and food-service locations worldwide.

An International Footprint

Around 60% of the company's total revenue comes from outside the United States, with notable contributions from emerging markets in Latin America. That international reach is part of why the business has stayed resilient across different economic cycles in different regions.

Revenue and Profit at a Glance

In fiscal year 2025, Coca-Cola generated $47.9 billion in revenue and $13.1 billion in net income. Put simply, for every dollar that came in the door, roughly 27 cents made it to the bottom line as profit — a net margin of 27.4%. That is a notably high margin for a company operating at this scale.

What the Margins Reveal

The company's gross margin sits at 61.6%, meaning it retains a large share of revenue after covering the direct costs of producing its beverages before other expenses like marketing, administration, and distribution are factored in. Together, the gross and net margins point to a business with strong pricing power and an efficient cost structure.

Growth Over Time

Revenue grew 24% from FY2021 to FY2025, a multi-year climb that reflects both steady demand for the company's core products and its expansion into newer categories like coffee and energy drinks. Growth of this kind, sustained over several years, is a useful signal of consistent underlying demand rather than a single strong quarter.

Company Size and Balance Sheet

Coca-Cola reports total assets of $104.8 billion, a figure that reflects everything from cash and investments to property, equipment, and the value of its many brands. With approximately 65,900 employees, the company runs a lean workforce relative to its revenue base, consistent with a business model that relies heavily on bottling and distribution partners rather than direct manufacturing at every step.

Market Value and Trading Details

As a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker KO, Coca-Cola currently carries a market capitalization of $342.0 billion. Its recent share price stood at $81.29, and the stock has been trading near its 52-week high. The company's price-to-earnings ratio of 26.7 reflects how the market currently values its earnings relative to its share price.

Dividend Payments

Coca-Cola also pays a dividend, currently yielding about 2.61% annually. This means shareholders receive a portion of the company's profits as a regular cash payment, a practice common among established, cash-generating companies.

Where the Company Stands Today

Founded in 1892 and first listed on public markets with its IPO in September 1924, Coca-Cola has built a long operating history. That history, combined with today's revenue scale, profit margins, and market valuation, gives a picture of a mature, globally diversified beverage business.
