Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

A confirmed large-scale switch to Coca-Cola from PepsiCo would shift KO's beverage revenue mix in a high-volume, global restaurant network. Similar component moves in the past (e.g., large supplier switches in fast-food chains) have led to multi-quarter improvements in revenue visibility and margins, contingent on contract scope and execution.
