Latest source: 10-Q, reporting period ended 2026-07-03. Selected reported US-GAAP/USD comparisons. The period and basis of each measure are shown separately; year-to-date cash flow is not a quarterly figure. Missing comparisons are collection gaps, not evidence that a company has no revenue or earnings.
Comparable figures are not available in this snapshot. Inspect the filing; missing data is not zero.
Comparison caveat: Quarterly reporting uses the Friday nearest calendar quarter-end, so comparison periods differ in length; inspect the filing rather than assuming identical calendar quarters.

Supporting filing ↗The strongest caution
If difficult economic conditions persist, consumers may forgo purchases or shift to lower-priced products, including private-label brands, which could reduce profitability and hurt overall financial performance.
Caution evidence ↗An interesting business is not necessarily an attractive investment at today's price. Price, dilution, financing terms and a valuation range still need investigation.
Inspect the evidence behind both sides ↗4. Three questions worth investigating
Use these to guide your research, not as conclusions that have already been proved.
Could the BodyArmor trademark require further impairment?
Starting evidence: Fair value approximates carrying value, so a shortfall in near-term results or a higher discount rate would likely force an additional impairment charge.
Investigate next: Review later filings for BodyArmor operating results versus revised projections, discount rate changes, and any further impairment disclosure.
Read the supporting filing ↗How exposed is the business to trade and tariff changes?
Starting evidence: New, expanded or retaliatory tariffs and other restrictions on business activities could impact profitability.
Investigate next: Examine disclosures on input sourcing, tariff exposure, and how bottlers and customers are affected, plus any cost commentary in later reports.
Read the supporting filing ↗What is the lasting effect of the fairlife ransomware event?
Starting evidence: Management believes the incident has not had, and is not reasonably likely to have, a material impact on financial condition or results.
Investigate next: Check subsequent filings for production recovery, investigation findings, data-related obligations, and any revised assessment of the incident's impact.
