Earnings date and recent performance

The same overview from Dhan shows the prior close at USD 138.45, so the latest closing level of USD 136.69 leaves PepsiCo stock about USD 1.76 below that reference price, underlining the modest pullback ahead of the next earnings release.

Analyst view and dividend yield

Analyst sentiment toward PepsiCo remains cautious but supportive. According to an overview cited by MarketBeat on September 10, 2026, seven analysts currently rate PepsiCo stock Buy, twelve rate it Hold and one rates it Sell, resulting in a consensus rating of Hold and an average target price of USD 157.90.

That consensus target price of USD 157.90 from MarketBeat implies roughly 15.5 percent upside from the September 9, 2026 closing price of USD 136.69, which may help underpin the shares even as short term trading remains volatile ahead of results.

Income-oriented investors, meanwhile, continue to focus on PepsiCo's dividend stream.

In that same article, finanzen.ch notes that experts expect PepsiCo to report earnings of USD 8.55 per share for the full fiscal year 2026, a figure that will be built up quarter by quarter and that frames expectations for the upcoming report.
