Coke (KO) did better than expected in the last quarter. And, international sales saved the company’s bacon. Earnings moved up to $1.26 billion for the Q from $1.11 billion the year before.
International volume rose 9% while case sales in North America were by 3%. Europe was especially strong with unit sales rising 11%. Drink all that Coke may make them jittery.
