Transcript signals

Bull points

  • Net sales increased 8.1% in the quarter, led by strong gains in U.S. refreshment beverages and international, probably offset by a decline in U.S. coffee, as expected.
  • U.S. refreshment beverages net sales grew 11.9%, with volume mix contributing 7.2 points. Net price realization added another 4.7 points, reflecting inflation-driven price increases taken early in the year.
  • We have robust innovation and commercial plans in place for the balance of 2026 and expect another strong year for the segment.

Bear points

  • Gross margin contracted 220 basis points, as elevated cost pressures were only partly offset by net price realization and productivity savings.
  • Q1 operating income declined 1.9%, including the below-the-line impact of lapping last year's two-cent gain on the sale of our Vida Cocoa Steak EPS decreased 7.1% to 39 cents.
  • Net sales declined 2.3%, with volume mix driving an 8.2 percentage point decline.
