PepsiCo Overcomes Lagging US Sales in a Strong Second Quarter
UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – PepsiCo raised its full-year 2025 adjusted earnings per share forecast to $8.04 while navigating tariff costs and shifting consumer preferences, driven by international growth and innovation.

- PepsiCo earned $2.12 per share adjusted for one-time items, beating analyst forecasts of $2.03, and CEO Ramon Laguarta said, "Our international business momentum continued."
- The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 earnings guidance and introduced new products like Drips by Pepsi exclusively at Regal Cinemas to stimulate growth amid market challenges.
