PepsiCo stock holds near $140 after Q2 EPS of $2.20

PepsiCo stock is trading near $140 as Q2 revenue came in at $24.18 billion and EPS landed at $2.20, while the current analyst view still points to $155.00.

PepsiCo Inc. (ISIN US7134481081) stock is trading near $140 as the latest quote snapshot shows $141.71 at 11:40 a.m. EDT on August 19, 2026, with a market cap of $191.26 billion and a 1.13% gain on the session. The latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026, and EPS came in at $2.20 on revenue of $24.18 billion.

Q2 numbers stay steady

The quarter ended June 30, 2026 produced a small EPS miss versus the $2.21 consensus, a gap of 0.01 per share, while revenue still reached $24.18 billion. That mix matters for PepsiCo because it keeps the earnings story stable without turning the latest report into a big re-rating event.

Current analyst consensus for the quarter ending September 2026 calls for EPS of $2.30, versus $2.29 a year earlier, and full-year 2026 EPS is projected at $8.56 compared with $8.14 in 2025. The market is still pricing PepsiCo as a large defensive name, with a 52-week range of $133.73 to $171.48 and a recent close of $140.13 on August 18, 2026.

Valuation stays defensive

The stock's 4.18% yield and $1.48 dividend support the case for income investors, while the quoted P/E ratio of 18.57 and market capitalization of $191.26 billion place it firmly in large-cap staple territory. A current consensus price target of $155.00 leaves a $14.87 gap versus the $140.13 close cited in the same quote set.

That spread is useful context for investors: PepsiCo is not being valued as a growth story, but as a stable earnings compounder with dividend support and modest analyst upside.

Pepsi brand power

The Pepsi cola franchise remains the company's most visible consumer brand, spanning classic cola, zero-sugar and ready-to-drink variations that feed into the beverage and snacks portfolio. Those products sit behind the $24.18 billion quarterly revenue base reported for the period ended June 30, 2026.

Trading level to watch

PepsiCo shares were last quoted at $141.71 on August 19, 2026, after opening at $140.87 and trading between $140.63 and $142.48 during the session. Nasdaq is the primary listing venue, and the latest quote snapshot puts the stock within 2.6% of the $145 area that has acted as a short-term reference point.
