Ramon Laguarta, chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, said this about the PEP stock earnings:
“Despite being faced with significant challenges and complexities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our businesses performed relatively well during the quarter, with a notable level of resiliency in our global snacks and foods business. Encouragingly, as restrictions and closures eased and population mobility improved as the quarter progressed, we also saw an improvement in our business performance and channel mix dynamics. However, the environment has remained volatile and much uncertainty remains about the duration and long-term implications of the pandemic.
That said, the company is not including FY2020 guidance due to the effects of the novel coronavirus. However, we know what Wall Street is looking for. Analysts are calling for EPS of $5.34 on revenue of $67.17 billion for the year.
PEP stock was up 2.1% as of Monday afternoon.
