Coca-Cola EP bought back shares and disclosed Invesco's stake

what happened

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners said in an RNS filing under Transactions in Own Shares that between 12 and 16 October 2026 it bought 138,046 ordinary shares on US trading venues and 49,900 shares on London venues. The shares were purchased from Goldman Sachs and its affiliates, and the repurchased shares will be cancelled.

The purchases are part of a buyback programme announced on 17 February 2026, under which the company expects to repurchase up to EUR 1 billion of shares in total. Volume weighted average prices over the period ranged from 104.58 to 111.51 US dollars on US venues and from 78.96 to 83.16 pounds in London.

A separate RNS notice under Holding(s) in Company reported that Invesco Ltd. crossed a voting threshold on 13 October 2026. Its total voting rights stood at 5.330964%, or 23,444,035 votes, compared with 5.035539% in the previous notification.

why it matters

For the market these are routine corporate disclosures without surprises. Buybacks reduce the number of shares in circulation, while the change in Invesco's stake reflects the asset manager's position changes rather than a decision by the company itself. Investors often track such filings to follow major holders and the pace of the buyback.
