Abstract

Coca-Cola, founded in 1886, is the world’s largest beverage company, operating in over 200 countries with 160 brands and a robust distribution network. Despite its global prominence and diversified portfolio, the company faces challenges related to health-conscious consumer trends and intense industry competition, particularly from PepsiCo. This study evaluates Coca-Cola’s financial health and market positioning through a comprehensive analysis of its external and internal environments. A SWOT analysis highlights Coca-Cola’s strong brand presence and product innovation but also reveals risks associated with health concerns, environmental regulations, and resource constraints. Financial ratio analysis demonstrates Coca-Cola’s profitability, efficiency, and liquidity performance. The company’s return on equity remains above 30% but trails behind PepsiCo. Inventory turnover rates indicate stable operations but declining efficiency, while accounts receivable turnover outperforms industry standards, reflecting strong customer credit management. However, accounts payable turnover suggests potential cash flow challenges. Revenue projections for the next three years anticipate stable growth, contingent on strategic adaptation to evolving market dynamics. This research offers insights into Coca-Cola’s resilience and its ability to sustain global leadership amidst emerging threats and opportunities.
