Coca-Cola HBC LON: CCH executives used an investor event in Cairo to outline the company's progress in Egypt since acquiring the local Coca-Cola bottling franchise in 2022, presenting the market as a major growth platform despite inflation, currency devaluation and geopolitical disruption.
The London- and Athens-listed bottler saw 27% volume growth for its energy-drink category, and coffee volumes increased 39% in its out-of-home channel.
Coca-Cola HBC (CCHGY) remains a "Buy", supported by robust volume growth and pricing. CCHGY's existing exposure to emerging markets and the pending Coca-Cola Beverages Africa acquisition underpin a long runway for volume and earnings growth. Despite its P/E ratio re-rating to over 18x, CCHGY trades at a discount to its pre-2021 multiple, while improving profitability also merits a higher valuation.
Coca-Cola HBC (CCHBF) remains a strategic partner of KO, delivering robust 2025 results with 8% revenue and 10% operating profit growth. CCH's strong free cash flow is tempered by aggressive capex focused on expansion, notably outpacing depreciation and amortization. The upcoming €2.4B acquisition of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa is expected to be EPS accretive, with synergy benefits materializing post-2026.
