A plain-English look at PepsiCo's revenue, profit, and market value, explained using only the company's own reported figures.
A Kitchen Cabinet Staple, By the Numbers
PepsiCo is the company behind Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Lay's, Cheetos, and Doritos — brands that sit in pantries and coolers across the country. Behind those familiar bags and bottles is a business generating $93.9 billion in revenue for fiscal 2025, a scale that places it among the largest consumer goods companies in the world.
Where the Revenue Comes From
Convenience foods — chips, snacks, and similar products — account for roughly 58% of PepsiCo's total revenue, with beverages making up the rest. That split reflects the company's identity as much a snack maker as a soda seller, and it's a large part of why PepsiCo also dominates the global savory snacks market alongside its beverage business.
Profitability in Plain Terms
PepsiCo turned that $93.9 billion in revenue into $8.2 billion in net income for FY2025. That works out to a net margin of 8.8%, meaning the company keeps about 8.8 cents of profit for every dollar of sales after all costs, taxes, and expenses are accounted for.
Gross Margin Tells Another Story
Before operating costs like marketing and distribution are subtracted, PepsiCo's gross margin sits at 54.1%. That gap between gross margin and net margin illustrates just how much a company of this size spends running a global manufacturing and distribution network before profit reaches the bottom line.
Growth Over Five Years
Revenue has grown 33% from FY2020 to FY2025, a steady climb rather than a sudden spike. For a company already generating tens of billions in sales, that kind of sustained growth reflects the resilience of everyday snack and beverage demand.
Balance Sheet Scale
PepsiCo reports total assets of $107.4 billion, a figure that spans everything from manufacturing plants and distribution fleets to brand value and cash on hand. It's a useful reminder that the company's footprint extends well beyond what shows up on store shelves.
What the Market Says PepsiCo Is Worth
PepsiCo trades on NASDAQ under the ticker PEP, with a recent share price of $144.22 (15-minute delayed) and a market capitalization of $194.0 billion. That market cap represents what investors collectively value the entire company at, based on its share price multiplied by shares outstanding.
Valuation and Recent Price Action
The stock carries a price-to-earnings ratio of 24.0, a common way analysts compare how much investors are paying relative to a company's profits. Shares are currently trading 15% below their 52-week high, and the company pays a dividend yielding about 4.1% annually — a payout that has long made PepsiCo a familiar name among income-focused investors.
A Long Corporate History
PepsiCo, as a combined company, was founded in 1961, though its roots as a publicly traded entity stretch back to an IPO in December 1919. Headquartered in Purchase, New York, the company now employs approximately 306,000 people worldwide, a workforce that reflects the sheer logistical scale required to manufacture and distribute snacks and beverages across the globe.
The Bottom Line
