PepsiCo (US7134481081) stock is trading near $140.79 after the latest session, with a market value of $192.16 billion and a 52-week range of $133.73 to $171.48 as of August 17, 2026.
The move comes after PepsiCo reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $24.18 billion and EPS of $2.20, while management reaffirmed fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of $8.55 to $8.71, according to recent market coverage.
Quarterly numbers
The quarter showed 6.4% revenue growth year over year, and EPS of $2.20 compared with $0.92 in the same quarter a year earlier. The company also cleared consensus for both revenue and EPS, with revenue above $23.95 billion and EPS ahead of $2.19.
That mix matters for investors because PepsiCo is still growing from a large base while keeping full-year earnings guidance intact. The current setup also leaves the shares with a dividend yield of 4.20% and a trailing P/E near 18.45.
Consensus view
Market consensus currently points to a Hold rating and an average target price of $157.90, which sits above the latest close of $140.79. The stock is also down 1.9% from the start of 2026 in one market snapshot, showing that valuation remains tied to earnings execution rather than broad momentum.
MarketWatch showed the shares at $140.22 in premarket trading on August 17, 2026, after a previous close of $140.79 on August 14, 2026. That keeps the stock inside its recent $140.12 to $141.27 range and still well below the 52-week high.
Product line
PepsiCo's portfolio spans Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, and Quaker, giving the company a split between beverages and convenient foods. That mix remains the core reason the group can pair snack demand with drink brands across multiple retail channels.
Price and setup
As of August 17, 2026, PepsiCo stock was quoted at $140.22 premarket on MarketWatch, after closing at $140.79 on August 14, 2026.
