Weaker than expected results at Coca-Cola

The world's largest soft drinks manufacturer reported weaker than expected quarterly results, due to the weaker performance of the North American market.

The Coca-Cola in the first quarter of 2010 reported 1.61 billion USD results, compared to the 1.35 billion USD of the last year. The Profits reached 80 cents per share.
The majority of analysts expected 75 cents per share results, and 7.72 billion in sales revenues. Coca-Cola had a turnover of 7.53 billion USD between January and March – reports Világgazdaság Online, after Reuters.
