The share price has climbed back above where it stood before the disappointment in May. On May 7, Coca-Cola HBC dropped as much as 5.3% after Reuters said its Q1 organic revenue was up 11.6%, just short of the 11.8% consensus from the company. Easter bundles cut into revenue per case, according to the report. CFO Anastasis Stamoulis told Reuters the company had good hedges for energy, aluminium and sugar.
Now the re-rating sits on volumes. Organic volume grew 9.6% in Q1, while revenue per case was up 1.8%. That ratio tells the story—revenue gains now are coming more from higher case sales than from price or mix changes.
| Q1 2026 organic growth | Revenue | Volume | Revenue/case | Volume/revenue ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group | Up 11.6% | Volume rose 9.6% | Revenue per case up 1.8% | 83% |
| Established markets | 7.3% | 6.7% | 0.6% | 92% |
| Developing markets | Revenue up 10.3% | Volume increased 7.4% | Revenue per case climbed 2.7% | 72% |
| Emerging markets | Revenue gained 15.0% | Volume up 11.2% | Revenue per case grew 3.5% | 75% |
CEO Zoran Bogdanovic said the company saw “a good start to the year” and kept its 2026 outlook. Organic revenue growth is still expected in the 6% to 7% medium-term range. Organic EBIT growth is guided at 7% to 10%. CCH Group Website
Emerging markets are back in focus this week. Coca-Cola HBC has an Egypt Bitesize investor event set for July 7, with half-year results out on Aug. 5. The group pointed to Egypt after reporting in Q1 that Emerging markets led its three segments in organic revenue growth.
Coca-Cola HBC still has the Coca-Cola Beverages Africa deal on deck. The company said it’s on track to close in the second half of 2026, after raising bonds to fund the €1.4 billion cash part and clearing antitrust reviews in four of six regions. The agreement puts a $2.6 billion price on 75% of CCBA, valuing the full business at $3.4 billion.
The analyst average price target still lags the rally. On Investing.com, 15 analysts have a 12-month target of 4,812.4p—about 7% under Friday’s close. Most still rate it a buy. MarketBeat’s six-analyst average comes in at 4,980.4p, also under the current trading level.
