Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AKO-A

10/27/2026: AKO-A (1-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Embotelladora Andina S.A. is a prominent South American beverage bottler with a long-standing partnership with The Coca-Cola Company. The company maintains a leading position in its markets through an efficient distribution network and a diversified product portfolio that includes soft drinks, waters, and increasingly, alcoholic beverages. While its stable business model and history of dividends appeal to value-oriented and income-seeking investors, the company faces risks from regional economic volatility, currency fluctuations, and shifting regulatory attitudes toward sugar. Its future success relies on capitalizing on health-conscious trends and optimizing operational margins, making it a defensive yet sensitive play on Latin American market growth.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AKO-A receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by soft analyst coverage, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AKO-A has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+15.5%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+3.7%), soft profitability (net margin 8.0%), very low insider ownership of 0.00%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AKO-A's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $183.3B (5.5% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is AKO-A's strongest growth driver at +179.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+15.5%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+3.7%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 0.1% (soft) and 99.2% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (strong). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AKO-A generates approximately $391 of gross profit, $134 of operating income, and $55 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins and soft cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is solid.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 28.94%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AKO-A has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
