PepsiCo Q3 Earnings and Revenues Above Best Expectations. The multinational reported earnings per share of $2.25, which adjusts the expected $2.15, and revenues of $23.45 billion versus the expected $23.39 billion. “We are pleased with our performance as our businesses and our associates have demonstrated extraordinary results, agility and resilience across geographies and categories in a dynamic and evolving context,” commented President and CEO Ramon Laguarta .

"Given the strength of our businesses and categories and the continued focus on supporting our holistic cost management initiatives - continues the executive - we now expect our earnings per share to increase by 13% (previously 12%) and We continue to expect full-year organic revenue to increase 10%."

PepsiCo management believes that its operations can “continue to perform well in the near future, with normalized growth, as we have made numerous investments in our brands, production capacity, go-to-market systems, supply chain of supply, in technology and in people."
