As of Q4'25, KO's cash and short-term investments stood at $13.87B USD, reflecting a decline from the Q3'25 peak of $15.78B USD, while total debt was reported at $45.49B USD, down from $47.42B USD in the prior quarter. This latest data point indicates a slight improvement in the net debt position, with cash covering approximately 30% of debt obligations. Over the period from Q1'23 to Q4'25, cash and short-term investments exhibited volatility, starting at $14.30B USD, peaking at $18.99B USD in Q2'24, and ending lower amid fluctuations, suggesting inconsistent liquidity management. In contrast, debt trended upward overall from $42.40B USD to $45.49B USD, with notable increases to $49.45B USD in Q2'25 before a recent moderation, highlighting growing leverage that outpaced cash growth and may signal heightened financial risk for analysts monitoring KO's balance sheet stability.
