PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) stock is on the rise Wednesday after releasing earnings for the third quarter of 2022.
PepsiCo’s report starts with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.97. This is good news for PEP stock, considering Wall Street was expecting adjusted EPS of $1.84 per share in the period. It’s also a roughly 10% increase from the $1.79 reported in Q3 2021.
Adding to this is the food and beverage company’s revenue of $21.97 billion. Yet again, that’s a boon to PEP stock compared to analysts’ estimate of $20.84 billion for the quarter. It’s also a jump from the $20.19 billion reported in the prior-year period.
PEP Also Increased Its 2022 Outlook
Despite inflation, PepsiCo has strong expectations for the full year of 2022. It now expects organic revenue growth of 12% alongside core constant currency EPS growth of 10%. Previously, its estimates were for organic revenue growth of 10% and core constant currency EPS growth of 8%.
Ramon Laguarta, Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, said the following in the earnings report:
“Our strong results demonstrate that the investments we have made towards becoming an even Faster, even Stronger, and even Better company with pep+ at the center of everything we do are working.”
PEP stock is up 3.9% as of Wednesday morning but down 2.4% year-to-date (YTD).
