Keurig Dr Pepper's second quarter of 2026 was defined as much by structural transformation as by operating performance. The April 1 close of the JDE Peet's acquisition effectively doubled the company's revenue base, with consolidated net sales surging 74.6% to what management described as a strong beat versus internal expectations. Stripping out the acquisition, legacy KDP grew 7.3% in constant currency, a healthy result that management now views as tracking toward the high end of its 4%-6% full-year guidance range. EPS of $0.57 represented 16.3% growth and came in above the $0.537 consensus estimate, driven by upside in both JDE Peet's and U.S. Refreshment Beverages, with some acknowledged timing benefits in the former.
