  • Grandet said the company is exiting the fiscal 2021 transition year "stronger."
  • The analyst added Coca-Cola is seeing strong emerging markets despite low vaccination rates and that its on-premise sales are recovering faster than expected.
  • Grandet thinks the company's portfolio rationalization should lead to a "more focused and agile organization" with gross margin benefits.
  • The analyst views Coca-Cola's valuation as "compelling" at current share levels and sees 12% annual earnings growth through FY23.
  • Price Action: KO shares are trading higher by 0.94% at $59.86 in premarket on the last check Tuesday.
