PepsiCo Just Reported Earnings. Here's What Investors Need to Know.

PepsiCo beat Q3 earnings expectations with 3.1% organic revenue growth and a 3.7% stock price increase, despite cutting full-year EPS guidance to 2.5%-3.5%. The company faces challenges in North America beverages and snacks due to GLP-1 drug impacts and consumer pushback, but international segments remain strong. With a 4.6% dividend yield and P/E of 15, the stock may appeal to defensive dividend investors seeking recovery potential.
