Catenaa, Tuesday, September 15, 2026- Coca-Cola announced plans Tuesday to invest $10 billion in US infrastructure between 2026 and 2030, covering new and expanded facilities across the country.
That $10 billion commitment spans the full Coca-Cola system, meaning it includes spending by bottling partners and is not limited to the parent company’s own capital budget, according to Reuters.
In July, the company forecast its own capital expenditure at approximately $2.2 billion for the fiscal year.
Projects covered by the broader $10 billion commitment include previously announced work in Rancho Cucamonga, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Indianapolis, Indiana; Birmingham, Alabama; Coopersville, Michigan; St. Cloud, Minnesota; Orlando, Florida; and Webster, New York, the company said.
The announcement accompanied an independently commissioned study measuring the Coca-Cola system’s 2025 economic contributions in the United States.
The study found the system contributed $85 billion to US gross domestic product, roughly $10 million in economic activity per hour, and supported nearly 1 million jobs, the company said.
Rounding out the economic picture, the system directed roughly $37 billion toward American suppliers and channeled $177 million into community initiatives via The Coca-Cola Foundation and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation.
“This assessment reinforces what we see every day: the Coca-Cola system is deeply rooted in America and continues to deliver meaningful value for the people and communities we serve,” John Murphy, president and chief financial officer of The Coca-Cola Company, said in a statement.
The company said its production network spans more than 70 facilities and hundreds of distribution centers across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, with the system’s economic contributions exceeding $1 billion in 25 states. The study was conducted by Steward Redqueen.
The investment announcement comes as Coca-Cola has been posting strong financial results. The company beat Wall Street expectations in the second quarter and raised its full-year profit guidance, reporting adjusted earnings of 97 cents per share on net revenues of $13.38 billion, a 7% increase year over year.
For full-year 2026, Coca-Cola raised its comparable earnings-per-share growth target to a range of 9% to 10% and nudged its organic revenue growth projection to around 5%.
