Read MoreHide Full Article
The upcoming report from Coca-Cola (KO - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $0.51 per share, indicating an increase of 4.1% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $10.69 billion, representing a decrease of 1.5% year over year.
