Embotelladora Andina SA (AKO-A) - Long-Term Debt to Equity

Embotelladora Andina possesses significant pricing power in Brazil and Chile due to its monopoly rights to sell Coca-Cola products and its robust logistics. The share price retrospective confirms this veteran bottler's status as a benchmark of quality in South America. The indicator stands at 0.88, although inflation and the rising cost of aluminum and sugar create certain financial challenges for profits.

This long-term debt-to-equity ratio measures the proportion of liabilities with a maturity exceeding one year relative to equity, allowing for an assessment of financial stability and the risks of excessive leverage. For Embotelladora Andina (AKO-A), an increase in this metric may indicate large-scale financing for the ecological modernization of plants and the transition to recycled materials, which requires long-term leverage to ensure sustainable development.
