2Q26 Review: Beat. Resilient Volumes in Mexico Volumes, South

America in the Spotlight

CITI'S TAKE Buy

Price (24 Jul 26 16:00) US$102.71 KOF delivered a solid 2Q26, beating consensus and coming broadly in line

Target price US$125.00 with CitiE. The key highlight was Mexico, with volumes growing +1.0%YoY
