Pepsi (PEP, $139.42) tops Q2 earnings and revenue expectations
PepsiCo released its latest quarterly earnings and revenue that topped analysts’ expectations, on the back of advertising and marketing impact.
The beverage giant’s adjusted earnings for the fiscal third-quarter came in at $1.56 per share, exceeding the $1.50 expected by analysts polled by Refinitiv.
Revenue of $17.19 billion also beat analysts’ estimate of $16.93 billion.
Pepsi’s organic revenue grew by +4.3% in the quarter.
The company’s increased advertising has been cited as a major drive behind consumers purchase of Pepsi products, as indicated by CFO Hugh Johnston in a CNBC interview.
Pepsi’s North American beverage business grew +3.5%.
Frito Lay North America, which includes brands like Cheetos and Doritos, experienced revenue growth of +5.5% for the quarter.
What’s more, Pepsi’s apparent drive to cater to an increasingly health-conscious population seems to be paying off. Revenue growth from its healthier snacks' brands like Bare and Off the Eaten Pat (alongwith its popular chip brands) helped offset the double-digit sales declines of Sabra hummus and guacamole dips. Pepsi owns a 50% stake in the hummus maker through a joint venture with Strauss Group.
The brand’s no-sugar line, Gatorade Zero, which launched in May 2018, topped $500 million in retail sales. Meanwhile, Bubly continues to gain market share in the flavored sparkling-water category against rivals like La Croix (as mentioned in CNBC).
