Coca-Cola Europacific Partners: Rating Downgrade On High Valuation And Visible Headwinds
KO
Published: February 18, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Negative

I recommend a hold rating for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners stock due to ongoing volume decline in Western Europe and uncertainties in Indonesia, despite strong execution and growth in the Philippines. CCEP reported EUR 20.7 billion in revenue for FY24, with a 3.5% y/y growth, but volume weakness in Western Europe remains a concern. While CCEP has strong long-term potential, I prefer to wait for more clarity on volume recovery before turning bullish again.
