On Thursday, PepsiCo reported that more and more consumers are starting to purchase its recently released Tostitos and pancake mixes.

The company’s shares rose by 1% shortly after the news. Here is a more in-depth look at how PepsiCo fared throughout Q3 2020:

 

Earnings per share: $1.66 (analysts forecasted $1.49)

Revenue: $18.09 billion (analysts forecasted $17.23 billion)

Net income: $2.29 billion (up from $2.1 billion a year earlier)

Operating costs: $147 million during the quarter due to COVID-19

 

In addition, both its Frito-Lay and Quaker Foods businesses reported organic revenue growth of 6%, while PepsiCo increased its organic sales by 3%. On an international scale, the company’s reported organic sales growth was 4% despite the recent rise in COVID-19 cases across the globe. According to CEO Ramon Laguarta, the new restrictions are not expected to impact the business as hard as the lockdowns from April and May.

Financial outlook for Q4 2020

For the remainder of 2020, PepsiCo expects to generate organic revenue growth of 4% and core EPS of $5.50 (38 cents less than what the company had originally forecasted).
