Good morning. Beverage giant Coca-Cola contributed $85 billion to U.S. GDP in 2025, or roughly $10 million every hour. That’s according to an independent study commissioned by the company, which also found it supported nearly 1 million American jobs and spent about $37 billion with U.S. suppliers last year.
I spoke with Coca-Cola President and CFO John Murphy on Monday. He was in the Washington, D.C. office, meeting with constituents from around the country. Murphy said those conversations test the report’s value, as he’s hearing first-hand about local impact.
