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 reported second-quarter 2025 earnings on Thursday with $22.7 billion revenue and net income falling 59% to $1.3 billion amid sluggish North American sales.
  • In April, the company reduced its forecast for full-year earnings due to higher tariff expenses and softer consumer demand, but it confirmed this outlook again on Thursday despite the continued rise in tariff costs.
  • Revenue rose less than 1%, beating the $22.3 billion forecast, while North American snack sales fell 1% and beverage sales declined 2%, offset by gains in international markets.
  • PepsiCo reported a profit of $2.12 per share after adjusting for one-time items, surpassing the $2.03 per share predicted by analysts, which helped boost its shares by just under 2% in early trading on Thursday.
  • CEO Ramon Laguarta highlighted sustained international growth and plans to improve North American performance, projecting low-single-digit revenue growth and stable core EPS for fiscal 2025.
