Keurig Dr Pepper reports Q3 adjusted EPS 54c, consensus 54c

Reports Q3 revenue $4.31B, consensus $4.16B. Commenting on the quarter, CEO Tim Cofer stated, “We are pleased with our third quarter results, which demonstrated robust growth in U.S. Refreshment Beverages and encouraging sequential progress in U.S. Coffee. Strong innovation and in-market execution drove market share gains across key categories, with sales momentum, along with disciplined actions to offset inflationary pressures, contributing to solid earnings and free cash flow growth. We are focused on sustaining our base business strength while also thoughtfully preparing for the transformation ahead as we first acquire and integrate JDE Peet’s and subsequently separate into two, advantaged pure-play companies.”
