PepsiCo Inc. (ISIN US7134481081, Nasdaq: PEP) ended the September 14, 2026 session near USD 136 on the Nasdaq, with the modest 0.1% daily gain standing in contrast to the roughly 0.5% decline in the S&P 500 index that day, according to a wrap of major United States benchmarks published by Barchart.

Today’s drivers and calendar

Looking at the days ahead, earnings calendar data compiled by MarketBeat show that PepsiCo’s next scheduled quarterly results are due on October 8, 2026, so today’s session is positioned in the prelude to that catalyst rather than at a major company-specific event. Dividend calendar information for September 2026 from Divvydiary lists PepsiCo with an indicated annualized dividend yield of about 4.39% and a per-share distribution of USD 1.48, underlining the income profile that may shape investor attention as today’s trading approaches. At the macro level, United States index performance on September 14, 2026 highlighted by Barchart showed pressure on the S&P 500, which may continue to frame sentiment for defensive consumer staples such as PepsiCo as trading begins today.
