Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc.
AI Valuation
AI-generated fair value estimate for this company.
Method: 10-year DCF on TTM unlevered FCF of $644.0M (stable, trending up from $528.4M in FY2023); FCF growth 5% years 1-5, 4% years 6-10; 8% discount rate reflecting a stable, franchise-protected bottling business; 3% terminal growth; net debt $2.45B (post the Nov 2025 ~$2.4B buyback of Coca-Cola Company's equity stake); 66.56M diluted shares.
Reasoning: Coca-Cola Consolidated has a durable, exclusive territorial bottling franchise with steadily improving free cash flow, so a straightforward modest-growth DCF off trailing FCF is appropriate; the higher post-buyback leverage was reflected directly in net debt rather than the discount rate, and the result lands close to the current market price.
