PepsiCo (PEP) Tops Q4 EPS by 1c
PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) reported Q4 EPS of $1.96, $0.01 better than the analyst estimate of $1.95. Revenue for the quarter came in at $27.78 billion versus the consensus estimate of $27.95 billion.
For 2025, the Company expects:
•A low-single-digit increase in organic revenue; and
•A mid-single-digit increase in core constant currency EPS.
In addition, the Company expects:
•A core annual effective tax rate of approximately 20 percent; and
•Total cash returns to shareholders of approximately $8.6 billion, comprised of dividends of $7.6 billion and share repurchases of $1.0 billion.
The Company also expects a foreign exchange translation headwind of approximately 3-percentage-points to negatively impact reported net revenue and core EPS growth, based on current market consensus rates.
This assumption and the guidance above imply a low-single-digit increase to core EPS in 2025 compared to 2024 core EPS of $8.16.
