Coca-Cola Names Henrique Braun CEO as Revenue and Dividend Growth Continue Coca-Cola appointed long-time executive Henrique Braun as CEO, with former CEO James Quincey moving to chairman in a planned leadership transition supported by shareholders.
The company reported Q1 2026 organic revenue growth of about 10% with 3% volume growth, raised its EPS guidance, and declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.53, extending its 64-year dividend increase streak.
Management is guiding for 2026 organic revenue growth of 4% to 5% and comparable EPS growth in the mid- to high-single digits, while an IRS tax dispute and a US$960m BODYARMOR impairment remain key overhangs.
For you as an investor, the main story is continuity with a new CEO rather than a reset. Braun is stepping in after years inside the system, overseeing a portfolio of 32 billion-dollar brands and 2.2b daily servings, while leaning into marketing and AI tools to support execution. Shareholder backing at the recent meeting, including approval of executive pay and re-election of directors, suggests broad support for the current approach.
On the financial side, recent double-digit organic revenue growth in Q1 2026, ongoing guidance for mid-single-digit organic growth for the full year, and a 3.9% dividend increase for 2026 reinforce Coca-Cola’s positioning as an income-focused stock with a long dividend track record. At the same time, the IRS tax case and the BODYARMOR impairment highlight that cash flow and earnings are not risk-free. Insider share sales of about US$72m in the past three months and the planned divestiture of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa are additional factors worth watching if you are assessing capital allocation and management signals.

The Coca-Cola Company Reportedly Considers Sale of Costa Coffee The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), is working with investment bank Lazard to review options, including a potential sale, of British coffee chain Costa, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on August 24, 2025. Coca-Cola did not immediately respond to a request for a comment outside regular business hours. Costa, and Lazard did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The company has held initial talks with a small number of potential bidders for Costa, including private equity firms, Sky News first reported, citing unidentified sources. Indicative offers are expected in early autumn, but a sale is not definitive, Sky reported. Coca Cola acquired Costa Coffee in 2018 for over $5 billion, to strengthen its position in the global coffee market, competing with Starbucks (SBUX.O), and Nestle(NESN.S). A potential sale of Costa Coffee which operates in 50 countries, would add onto the wave of dealmaking in the packaged food space which has witnessed robust growth as companies seek scale to weather the impact of price inflation and consumers shopping for healthier options. In an earnings call last month, the Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey hinted at changes to Costa's operations, saying "Our investment in Costa is not where we wanted it to be from an investment hypothesis point of view." We're in the mode of reflecting on what we've learnt, thinking about how we might want to find new avenues to grow in the coffee category, while continuing to run the Costa business successfully".
