Itau BBA cuts Coca‑Cola Femsa rating to Market Perform and keeps $116 price target

Itau BBA downgraded Coca‑Cola Femsa (KOF) from Outperform to Market Perform, maintaining a $116 price target. The analyst cited valuation concerns despite a 10.9% revenue rise to MXN 79.7 billion in Q3 2026. The stock was trading around $117.05, with a P/E multiple of 18.9, the highest among regional bottlers. The firm also noted potential dividend yield of 6‑7% from excess cash in 2027, not yet reflected in its model.

The downgrade and unchanged target suggest limited upside, which could pressure the share price. Investors may reassess valuation expectations given the high P/E and the analyst’s caution.
