Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AKO-B

10/06/2026: AKO-B (1-star) is a SELL. SELL for 3 days. Simulated Profits (-1.21%). Updated daily EoD!

Embotelladora Andina S.A. is a major Latin American bottler and distributor for The Coca-Cola Company, serving critical markets in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. The company benefits from a long-term, entrenched relationship with Coca-Cola and a highly efficient distribution network that provides a strong competitive position. Its main growth opportunity lies in portfolio diversification into functional and low-sugar beverages alongside digital operational improvements. However, investors face risks related to regional currency volatility, inflationary pressures on input costs, and shifting consumer health preferences. The stock generally suits investors seeking steady income through dividends and long-term exposure to the South American consumer market, provided they are comfortable with regional macro risks.

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, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AKO-B has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+9.2%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 5.2%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-1.9%), 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 $174.3B (5.2% 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 +165.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-1.9%, slightly negative) and earnings growth (+9.2%, moderate) hold 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, $135 of operating income, and $52 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.
