The key point for longer term investors is in the margin line. Trailing net profit margin has moved to...

Heineken stock closed at €79.40 going into this earnings release after a steady 90 day climb that left shares about 20% higher over that period. The real story today sits in profitability. Management put operating profit at a 14.6% margin with net profit up 10.2% and free operating cash flow near €1.4b. That is a powerful cash and margin combination for a brewer.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners came into this earnings day with a stock that had slipped over the past week and month, even after a solid 90 day run. The disconnect is that H1 did not read like a company under pressure. Revenue reached €10.7b and basic earnings per share came in at €2.17, with net income at €967m.
