Embotelladora Andina stock weighs strong Q3 growth and green bond

Embotelladora Andina reported stronger third-quarter operating results on October 28, 2026, according to The Globe and Mail. Consolidated sales volume reached 226.1 million unit cases, up 2.5% from a year earlier, while net sales increased 12% to CLP 896,609 million.

Profit growth despite cost pressure

Operating income rose 9.3% to CLP 100,490 million. Adjusted EBITDA advanced 12.1% to CLP 149,289 million, with margins slightly higher despite pressure from oil and PET resin costs.

Net income attributable to shareholders climbed 7.5% to CLP 61,482 million. For the first nine months of 2026, net sales grew 11.8% and adjusted EBITDA increased 16.9%, with Brazil recording 7.7% volume growth.

Digital rollout and green financing

Andina completed the regional rollout of SAP S/4HANA, a move intended to integrate processes and support digital, analytics and automation capabilities. The company also issued a locally rated AA+ green bond in August that matures in 2030 and is intended to fund eligible sustainability projects.

The results present investors with a combination of volume expansion, operating leverage and continued investment in infrastructure. Foreign-exchange movements remain relevant when comparing reported regional results, while higher packaging and energy costs remain operating considerations.
