PepsiCo's Trading Volume Drops 26.15% Ranking 68th Amid North America Snack Demand Softening

On June 18, 2025, PepsiCo's trading volume was $954 million, a 26.15% decrease from the previous day, ranking 68th in the day's stock market. PepsiCo (PEP) fell by 0.18%, marking two consecutive days of decline, with a total decrease of 1.80% over the past two days.

PepsiCo is facing challenges in North America as snack demand softens. The company is focusing on smaller packs and healthier options to drive a rebound in sales. This strategic shift comes as PepsiCo's North America unit experiences a decline in demand, which has put pressure on volumes despite the company's efforts to adapt to changing consumer preferences.

Additionally, PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division is ceasing production at a California plant due to a decline in profits. This move is part of the company's broader strategy to optimize its operations and focus on more profitable areas. The decision to halt production at the California plant underscores the challenges PepsiCo is facing in maintaining profitability in the current market environment.
