KDP Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Keurig Dr Pepper has demonstrated a positive sales growth trajectory in the US coffee market, with measured retail sales increasing by 2.1% in the fourth quarter of 2025 year-to-date, building upon a robust 2.4% growth in the third quarter of the same year. The company's performance in the ready-to-drink beverage segment has also been strong, with a reported retail sales growth of 3.1%, contributing to overall positive momentum. Additionally, projections suggest that Keurig Dr Pepper is poised to align its revenue and earnings growth with consensus estimates for 2026, indicating stability and sustained financial performance in the coming year.
Bears say
Keurig Dr Pepper's financial outlook is negatively impacted by high pro-forma leverage projected at approximately 5.2x at the end of 2026, which is only expected to modestly decrease to about 4.3x by the end of 2027 despite a nearly 9% free cash flow yield. Additionally, brewer shipments, which represent around 20% of segment sales, experienced a significant decline of approximately 25% in the third quarter of 2025, indicating ongoing pressure on this segment. Furthermore, the company has revised its earnings per share estimates downward for both 2025 and 2026, as well as reduced its international organic sales growth forecast from 12.5% to 4.0%, with Mexico's sales facing challenges due to soft consumer sentiment and adverse weather conditions.
