PepsiCo's second quarter results present a tale of two businesses: a robust international operation accelerating through the summer and a North American franchise still working through a consumer-driven soft patch. Consolidated net revenue grew approximately 7% in the first half of 2026, with global food volumes up 3% and beverage volumes up 2%, the fastest volume growth since 2022, yet the headline masked meaningful weakness in North American convenience and gas channels that came in below management's own expectations. Full-year guidance was reaffirmed, though management signaled results are likely to track toward the low end of the EPS range, with Q3 expected to be roughly flat before a more pronounced Q4 recovery.
