# Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (CCEP) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Consumer Defensive / Beverages. Price $111.56, market value $49.0 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 21.5×** (5-yr avg 20.1×, 3-yr avg 20.8×). Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc trades at 21.5× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 20.1×. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 20.1×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.52**. A PEG of 0.52 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 2.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.1×.
- **Price / book: 5.3×**. The shares trade at 5.3× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.0%** (5-yr avg 7.6%). Free cash flow equals 5.0% of the market value, below its five-year average of 7.6%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 4.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 35.6%**. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc keeps 35.6% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 13.4%**. 13.4% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 9.5%**. 9.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 23.8%**. 23.8% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 12.2%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 12.2%.
- **Return on assets: 6.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces 6.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 2.3%** (3-yr 6.5%/yr, 5-yr 14.5%/yr). Revenue grew 2.3% over the last year, against 14.5% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 38.3%** (3-yr 9.0%/yr, 5-yr 31.3%/yr). Earnings per share rose 38.3%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): -3.2%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at -3.2% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 1.23**. Debt is 1.23 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Interest coverage: 9.1×**. Operating profit covers interest 9.1× over, a safe margin.
- **Current ratio: 0.80** (quick 0.80). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 2.70**. A Z-score of 2.70 is in the grey zone; not distressed, not clearly safe.
- **Piotroski F-score: 7/9**. 7 of 9 fundamental checks pass: strong and improving financials.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 2.16%** ($2.41 per share, trailing). Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc yields 2.16%, a modest yield more typical of a growth-oriented payer.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 5**. 5 straight years of increases.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 18.4%/yr** (1-yr 9.4%). The dividend has compounded at 18.4% a year over five years, doubling roughly every 4 years at that pace.
- **Shareholder yield: 2.2%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 2.2% of the market value a year.
