PepsiCo's stock price surged 5.01% during intraday trading on Tuesday, marking a significant upward movement for the beverage and snack giant.

The rally followed the company's release of its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations. PepsiCo reported core earnings per share of $2.26, beating the consensus estimate of $2.24, while net revenue of $29.34 billion also topped forecasts. Concurrently, the company announced a 4% increase in its annualized dividend and authorized a new $10 billion share repurchase program, signaling strong confidence in its financial health and commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

Further fueling investor optimism were strategic initiatives aimed at revitalizing growth. PepsiCo revealed plans to cut suggested retail prices by up to 15% on core snack brands like Lay's and Doritos, a move designed to address consumer affordability concerns and stimulate demand. The company also outlined cost-saving measures and productivity improvements, reaffirming its fiscal 2026 guidance and expressing expectations for improved performance in its North America business alongside a resilient international segment.
