On this page we presented the COKE Historical PE Ratio information for Coca-Cola Consolidated' stock. The average COKE historical PE based on using the annualized quarterly earnings result at each measurement period (for the "E" in the PE calculation; and the closing price on earnings date as the "P") is 34.7. Meanwhile, using the trailing twelve month (TTM) quarterly earnings result as our method of calculation the "E" value at each measurement period, the average COKE historical PE based on this TTM earnings result method is 26.9. Note: any PE calculations involving negative earnings were discarded as not meaningful.

Let's now compare this COKE historical PE result, against the recent PE: when this page was posted on 4/18/2024, the most recent closing price for COKE had been 801.02, and the most recent quarterly earnings result, annualized, was 53.56. Meanwhile, the most recent TTM earnings summed to 65.58. From these numbers, we calculate the recent COKE PE on 4/18/2024 based on annualized quarterly EPS was 15.0. Based on COKE's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 56.8% lower than the historical average PE across our data set for Coca-Cola Consolidated. Looking at the recent COKE PE on 4/18/2024 based on TTM EPS, we calculate the ratio at 12.2. Based on COKE's history, that recent PE is low relative to the historical average, with the recent PE 54.6% lower than the average PE across our Coca-Cola Consolidated data set with TTM EPS used in the calculation at each period.

Another interesting COKE historical PE Ratio calculation we look at is to take the median earnings per share of the last four quarters for COKE, and then annualize the resulting value... with that annualized number then being used in the PE calculation. To walk through this math for COKE, we start with the past four EPS numbers and we first sort them from lowest to highest: 13.39, 16.23, 17.53, and 18.43. We then toss out the highest and lowest result, and then take the average of those two middle numbers — 16.23 and 17.53 — which gives us the median of 16.88. Basically the way to think about this 16.88 number is this: for the trailing four earnings reports, 16.88 marks the "middle ground" number where COKE has reported a value higher than 16.88 half the time, and has reported a value lower than 16.88 half the time. Annualizing that median value then gets us to 67.52/share, which we use as the denominator in our next PE calculation. With 801.02 as the numerator (as of 4/18/2024), the calculation is then 801.02 / 67.52 = 11.9 as the COKE PE ratio as of 4/18/2024, based on that annualized median value we calculated.
