Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and Rothschild are all Getting a Slice of Coca-Cola’s Game-Changing $5.1 Billion Deal for Costa Coffee

Coca-Cola on Friday announced a shock deal to buy the coffee chain Costa Coffee from its parent company Whitbread in a deal valued at just shy of $5.1 billion (£3.9 billion). 

The acquisition marks Coca-Cola’s first meaningful foray into the coffee market as it seeks to diversify in the face of a market-wide slowdown in sales for fizzy, sugary beverages. 

✅ Coca-Cola is buying UK-based coffee-giant Costa Coffee for $5.1 billion (£3.9 billion).  

✅ British investment bank Rothschild & Co is advising Coca-Cola on the deal.   

✅ Whitbread, the parent of Costa Coffee, has instructed Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Deutsche Bank to advise on the transaction.

The deal is expected to cause a major shakeup in the coffee space, and be seen as a direct challenge to the dominance of Starbucks in the US. Costa Coffee has more UK stores than Starbucks, and prior to the takeover was already expanding globally.
