Upturn Advisory & Investor View for CCEP

09/28/2026: CCEP (4-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners is a major, globally-focused bottling company that produces and distributes iconic beverage brands across Western Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The company’s primary strengths include its massive, efficient distribution infrastructure and a long-standing, strategic partnership with The Coca-Cola Company. The main growth opportunity lies in its successful expansion into the Asia-Pacific market and ongoing innovation in zero-sugar and alcoholic ready-to-drink products. Investors should monitor competitive pressures from peers like PepsiCo, along with execution risks related to acquisition integration and fluctuating commodity costs. The stock is a suitable candidate for income-oriented and defensive investors who value stable, established business operations.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
CCEP receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
CCEP has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+37.0%) and solid cash generation (FCF margin 10.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+2.3%), soft profitability (net margin 9.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
CCEP's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $2.2B (10.5% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is CCEP's strongest growth driver at +37.0% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (+2.3%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (-3.0%, slightly negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 37.2% and approximately 44.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 55.76% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 1.43%
Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc 1.37%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
CCEP generates approximately $356 of gross profit, $134 of operating income, and $105 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Moderate margins and solid cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is moderate.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.97%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
CCEP has a high-quality, large-cap, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
