Shares of Coca-Cola are up more than 3% this morning after the company beat Wall Street's quarterly expectations and raised its full-year earnings outlook.
The beverage giant said its results were boosted by resilient demand, which was driven in part by its global World Cup campaign. As CNBC's Amelia Lucas notes, Coke continues to outperform rival PepsiCo in North America: The company reported 3% volume growth in the continent even as high gas prices pressure consumers' wallets.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman heads to Washington, D.C. this week to preview his company's forthcoming family of artificial intelligence models in meetings with White House officials, lawmakers and economists.
A source familiar with the plans said Altman will also take questions about cybersecurity — a hot topic following OpenAI's "unprecedented cyber incident" disclosed earlier this month — as well as OpenAI's position on open-weight models. As CNBC's Ashley Capoot and Kate Rooney report, his visit comes as Silicon Valley and Washington debate whether to restrict Chinese open-weight models.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is also slated to meet with lawmakers in the nation's capital this week to talk about open models and America's AI leadership.

The cyclospora outbreak has already left thousands of Americans sick. Consolidation in the food chain could be partly to blame.
As CNBC's Brandon Gomez reports, decades of mergers and acquisitions within farming, processing and distribution have made it more likely for a single contamination to grow into a national problem, according to experts. While consolidation alone may not directly lead to outbreaks like this one, food safety experts said it can intensify the impact when one does occur.
To be sure, some say that larger producers can be better because they often have higher-grade safety systems and a better ability to trace a product. But these companies also face broader recalls when a contamination is reported.
