PepsiCo to Release Second-Quarter 2026 Results on July 9, With Analyst Call Later That Morning
The company said it will post its Form 10-Q and earnings materials around 6:00 a.m. EDT before hosting a live question-and-answer session with CEO Ramon Laguarta and CFO Steve Schmitt at 8:15 a.m.
PepsiCo said it will issue its second-quarter 2026 financial results on Thursday, July 9, 2026, kicking off the release with several documents posted to its investor website in the early morning hours. The company’s announcement, dated June 4, said the quarter covers the period ending June 13, 2026.
PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) said the related materials will be posted at approximately 6:00 a.m. EDT. That set includes its Form 10-Q for the quarter, an earnings press release, and prepared management remarks. The company said investors will be able to review those items on its website at the time of posting.
Later that morning, PepsiCo will hold a live question-and-answer session for analysts at 8:15 a.m. EDT. The call will include CEO Ramon Laguarta, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Steve Schmitt, PepsiCo’s Chief Financial Officer, according to the company’s release.
The timing matters for markets because quarterly results often become the focus of trading soon after they are published, especially for large consumer staples companies whose earnings and cash flow expectations are tracked closely by investors and sell-side analysts. By placing the documents online before the live Q&A, PepsiCo is effectively giving the market a first read on the numbers and management’s initial framing before questions begin.
Form 10-Q is the SEC’s quarterly report that provides financial statements and additional disclosures, while the earnings press release typically summarizes key results in plain language. Prepared management remarks are usually a scripted set of observations that provide context for performance, and the analyst Q&A is where management can respond to follow-up questions about margins, demand trends, pricing, operating costs, and other drivers of the quarter.
PepsiCo’s businesses span convenient foods and beverages, with brands that include Lay’s, Doritos, Cheetos, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Quaker, and SodaStream. In the same announcement, the company reiterated that its products are consumed more than one billion times per day in more than 200 countries and territories, and it referenced nearly $94 billion in net revenue in 2025.
PepsiCo did not provide any performance figures, forecasts, or qualitative read-through on the second quarter in the timing announcement itself. Investors will have to wait for the July 9 posting of the Form 10-Q, earnings press release, and prepared management remarks to see the company’s reported results and any commentary on demand, input costs, pricing, and other factors.
Why It Matters
- The release schedule sets a clear window for when investors can first access the company’s quarterly SEC filing and earnings materials.
- The early-morning posting can drive near-term trading around the release date, with the live analyst Q&A potentially shaping interpretations of the numbers.
- For PepsiCo, results and management commentary often influence expectations across beverages and convenient foods, including areas such as pricing and cost pressures.
- The company’s announcement did not include earnings figures or guidance, so the July 9 materials are expected to be the first concrete update for the quarter.
