PepsiCo, Inc.

About PepsiCo, Inc.

PepsiCo sells branded beverages and convenient foods, serving consumers with a portfolio spanning both categories. It makes money by selling those products across its beverage and food businesses; the supplied material also describes global reach and brand investment as central to its growth strategy. The evidence provided does not break out revenue or profit by segment, so the relative contributions of beverages and foods cannot be quantified here. PepsiCo reported FY2025 revenue of $93.9 billion and net income of $8.2 billion, compared with FY2024 revenue of $91.9 billion and net income of $9.6 billion, giving it a large, diversified consumer-products business.

Notable Price Movement

1. Oct 26-30$137.341.16%

   PEP fell 3.63%, from $138.83 on October 22 to $133.79 on October 29. The decline was front-loaded: shares dropped to $135.77 on October 23, slipped again to $135.46 on October 26 and $133.50 on October 27, then reached a weekly low of $132.63 on October 28 before a modest Thursday rebound. The supplied evidence highlights consumer price sensitivity, PepsiCo’s earlier price cuts of up to 15%, and a North America reset aimed at cost cuts and renewed growth, but it does not date these developments to the week or establish them as trading catalysts. No market benchmark or dated company-specific news is provided to explain the move.

2. Oct 19-23$135.773.26%

   PepsiCo rose 5.44%, from $126.68 on October 12 to $133.57 on October 19. The clearest company-specific catalyst was its renewal of the Taco Bell beverage partnership through 2036, which reports explicitly linked to the stock’s gains; the renewal followed PepsiCo’s loss of KFC to Coca-Cola, tempering the positive signal. Shares advanced from $126.68 through October 14, slipped on October 15, then rose on October 16 and October 19 to finish at the period high. The supplied evidence does not identify a separate catalyst for each session or provide market-wide context, so the Taco Bell news is the main supported explanation for the gain.

3. Oct 12-16$131.494.38%

   PepsiCo rose 0.82%, from $125.65 at the October 5 close to $126.68 on October 12, but the week included sharp reversals. Shares slipped to $123.73 on October 7, then surged to $128.34 on October 8 as coverage highlighted director buying, including a reported purchase of 184,646 shares. The stock gave back most of that one-day gain on October 9, closing at $125.97; coverage linked the decline to an analyst downgrade and concern over losing KFC’s U.S. beverage business to Coca-Cola. Shares edged up 0.56% on October 12. The director purchase offered a positive counterpoint, but the KFC news and downgrade weighed on sentiment after the rally.

4. Oct 5-9$125.970.06%

   PepsiCo fell 2.32% over the stated week, from $128.69 on September 29 to $125.71 on October 6. The steepest declines came early: the shares dropped to $126.72 on September 30 and $125.60 on October 1, before a small October 2 rebound and nearly flat trading on October 5–6. The main company-specific pressure was the combination of a quarterly earnings beat with a reduced earnings forecast, as PepsiCo said its North American turnaround was taking longer than expected. JPMorgan’s downgrade to Neutral from Overweight, citing North American problems and Frito-Lay weakness, added to the concerns; its target fell to $138 from $170. The shares briefly recovered on the earnings beat but ended the period near the week’s low.

5. Sep 28 - Oct 2$125.892.13%

   PepsiCo fell 1.99% over the week, from $128.15 to $125.60, as analyst downgrades and weaker North American demand concerns outweighed early-week stability. Shares rose from $128.50 on Monday to a weekly close of $128.69 on Tuesday, even as Deutsche Bank cut its rating from Buy to Hold and its target from $155 to $138; JPMorgan also downgraded the stock from Overweight to Neutral and lowered its target from $170 to $138. The stock then dropped 1.53% Wednesday to $126.72 and fell again Thursday to $125.60, its lowest close in the supplied data. JPMorgan cited North America woes, including Frito-Lay weakness. PepsiCo also faced an earnings report due the following week, with Zacks questioning the prospects for a likely earnings beat.

6. Sep 21-25$128.630.86%

   PepsiCo fell $4.16, or 3.10%, from $134.34 to $130.18 across the supplied period. The sharpest decline came on September 18, when the stock dropped to $129.75 on volume of 23.5 million shares; it slipped again on September 21 before recovering to $131.19 on September 22 and retreating to $130.18 on September 23. Sentiment faced pressure from reports that PepsiCo plans to raise prices on some snacks after earlier cuts failed to lift sales, while an October earnings test remained ahead and the shares were reported near a 52-week low. Yahoo Finance also framed the stock as falling more than the broader market, although the supplied evidence does not quantify that comparison or establish a specific market catalyst.

7. Sep 7-11$136.320.95%

   PepsiCo fell $1.89, or 1.35%, from $140.34 to $138.45 over the week. Trading was choppy: the stock slipped to $139.79 on September 1, recovered to $140.52 on September 2, and eased to $140.02 on September 3 before dropping $2.39, or 1.71%, on September 4. It recovered $0.82 on September 8, but remained below the prior close. The heaviest volume came on September 3 and September 8, at 10.32 million and 10.09 million shares, respectively. The supplied evidence identifies no company-specific announcement, earnings release, guidance change, or attributable rating action during the week, so the move is unexplained by company news and no broader market benchmark was provided.

8. Aug 31 - Sep 4$137.632.44%

   PepsiCo gained 0.21% over the week, rising from $139.72 to $140.02. The stock began with a two-day reversal from the prior Friday’s $141.07 close, falling to $140.34 on Monday and $139.79 on Tuesday, before recovering to $140.52 on Wednesday and giving back part of that gain on Thursday. Trading volume reached 10.3 million shares on Thursday, the week’s highest level, without an explicitly identified company-specific catalyst. The supplied evidence instead points to a mixed backdrop: investors are weighing soft North American demand, category pressure and Ukraine-related damage against snack share gains, beverage strength, reiterated revenue-growth targets and potential value support.

9. Aug 24-28$141.071.68%

   PepsiCo fell $2.41, or 1.68%, over the week, closing at $141.07 versus $143.48 previously. The stock initially rose 0.83% on Monday to $144.67, then reversed sharply Tuesday, losing 1.66% on volume of 10.2 million shares, and remained little changed Wednesday. Thursday brought the week’s largest decline, a 1.74% drop to $139.72, before Friday’s 0.97% rebound recovered part of the loss. The evidence does not identify a company-specific announcement driving the move. Instead, PepsiCo declined while the broader market was described as rising, consistent with continued weakness in lagging consumer staples. Dividend and value commentary, improving international results, and ETF inflow observations provided supportive context but did not visibly change the weekly trading pattern.

10. Aug 10-14$140.791.27%

    PepsiCo fell $1.90, or 1.36%, from $139.63 to $137.73 over the week. The stock declined in four of the five sessions from August 3 through August 6, slipping from $139.63 to $138.44, before a modest August 7 rebound to $139.02. It then gave back that recovery and more on August 10, falling $1.29. The supplied evidence does not identify a company-specific announcement, earnings release, guidance change, or analyst action that explains the weekly move. Articles discussing valuation, foods-segment recovery, portfolio initiatives, and institutional holdings appear informational rather than linked to the trading. No market index, macroeconomic catalyst, or sector comparison was supplied, so broader market context cannot be quantified.

11. Aug 3-7$139.020.39%

    PepsiCo fell $3.76, or 2.63%, from $142.86 to $139.10 over the reported week. The stock initially rose to $143.50 on July 29, then reversed sharply, losing $3.30 on July 30 and slipping again on July 31 before stabilizing briefly at $139.63 on August 3. It gave back the entire early gain and moved lower again on August 4. The supplied evidence identifies no company-specific announcement, earnings release, guidance change, or analyst action explaining the decline. Instead, the move fits broader pressure on consumer staples: fading pricing power, consumer resistance to further price increases, and weaker sector estimate revisions. PepsiCo’s prolonged underperformance versus Coca-Cola and the S&P 500 may also have kept sentiment fragile.
