Did PEP Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results
Yes. PepsiCo reported Q2 2025 earnings of $2.12 a share on Jul 16, 2025, beating the $2.03 consensus estimate by 4.3%. Revenue was $22.7B against a $22.3B estimate.
PepsiCo delivered a solid beat on both the top and bottom lines in the second quarter of 2025, even as the underlying business navigated a distinctly uneven environment. Core earnings per share of $2.12 cleared the $2.032 consensus estimate by 4.33%, while net revenue of $22.73 billion edged past the $22.30 billion consensus by 1.92% and grew 1.0% year-over-year — a modest but meaningful showing given the pressure on North American consumers. The headline story, however, was a $1.86 billion intangible asset impairment charge tied primarily to the Rockstar and Be & Cheery brands, which dragged reported GAAP EPS down sharply to $0.92, underscoring why the core non-GAAP figure tells the more relevant story here. International segments, particularly EMEA with 7% organic revenue growth, helped offset continued softness in North America's convenient foods business. Looking ahead, PepsiCo affirmed its low-single-digit organic revenue growth outlook for fiscal 2025 and improved its core EPS guidance, now projecting only a 1.5% decline versus the earlier 3% forecast as the U.S. dollar's weakening eased foreign exchange headwinds — a tailwind that <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2025/12/30/the-dividend-aristocrat-with-53-margins-just-widened-the-gap-on-the-frozen-dividend-competitor/">long-term dividend investors</a> will likely welcome.
- International business momentum continued with strong organic revenue growth in EMEA (7%) and IB Franchise (5%)
- Effective net pricing drove revenue growth, particularly in EMEA (11%) and PBNA (4.5%)
- North America businesses improved execution and competitiveness in key subcategories and channels
- Organic revenue growth accelerated to 2.1% from prior quarter
- Weakening U.S. dollar moderated FX headwinds from 3 to 1.5 percentage points
“We're encouraged by the acceleration in our net revenue growth versus the previous quarter with our businesses effectively navigating through a challenging environment. Our international business momentum continued, while our North America businesses improved their execution and competitiveness in key subcategories and channels.”
PepsiCo CEO, on the earnings call
What Was PepsiCo's Outlook in Q2 2025?
For fiscal 2025, PepsiCo continues to expect low-single-digit organic revenue growth and core constant currency EPS approximately even with the prior year. The core annual effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 20%. Total cash returns to shareholders are expected to be approximately $8.6 billion, comprised of $7.6 billion in dividends and $1.0 billion in share repurchases. The company now expects a foreign exchange translation headwind of approximately 1.5 percentage points (previously approximately 3 percentage points) on reported net revenue and core EPS growth, implying a 1.5% decline in core EPS in 2025 compared to 2024 core EPS of $8.16.
