Coca-Cola HBC AG upgraded its full-year 2026 guidance after reporting a 9.6% increase in organic revenue and a 7.5% rise in organic volume for the first half. Comparable EBIT grew 15.2% organically to 760 million euros, with margins expanding 60 basis points to 12.2%, while comparable earnings per share rose 15.2% to 1.51 euros. The company now expects organic revenue growth around the top end of its 6% to 7% range and organic EBIT growth of 8% to 10% for the full year. Energy drinks volumes surged over 25%, contributing more than 10% of total volume, and sparkling drinks grew 6.4%, though premium spirits declined 1.5%. Free cash flow was 216 million euros, slightly lower year-on-year due to a planned increase in capital expenditure, which reached 6.1% of revenue.
