Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AKO-B

11/05/2026: AKO-B (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Embotelladora Andina S.A. is a prominent South American beverage company that serves as a key bottler for The Coca-Cola Company in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. The firm benefits from an established distribution network and strong brand loyalty, which have historically supported stable margins and steady dividend payments. Its growth strategy is currently focused on diversifying into the alcoholic beverage and functional drink segments to reach more consumers. However, investors should monitor significant risks related to regional macroeconomic volatility, foreign currency fluctuations, and intense local competition. The stock is a potential fit for income-oriented value investors seeking exposure to the South American consumer market.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AKO-B receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AKO-B 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-B'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-B'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 2.6% (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-B 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-B has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
