PepsiCo's Trading Volume Surges 56.82% to $1.41 Billion Ranking 60th in Market Activity

On July 24, 2025, PepsiCo's trading volume reached $1.41 billion, marking a 56.82% increase from the previous day and ranking 60th in the day's stock market activity. However, the stock price of PepsiCo (PEP) fell by 0.79%, marking the second consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 1.05% over the past two days.

PepsiCo has declared a quarterly dividend of $1.4225 per share, reflecting a 5% increase from the previous year. This dividend will be distributed on September 30, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 5, 2025. This announcement aligns with PepsiCo's previously stated increase in its annualized dividend to $5.69 per share from $5.42 per share, which began with the June 2025 payment. This marks PepsiCo's 53rd consecutive annual dividend increase, maintaining its record of quarterly cash dividend payments since 1965.

PepsiCo's second-quarter earnings exceeded expectations, but ongoing challenges and weak cash flow indicate that the company's turnaround is still in its early stages. Despite these headwinds, PepsiCo's dividend increase highlights its commitment to returning value to shareholders. The company's healthy payout ratio of 67% suggests that it can sustain its dividend payments while continuing to invest in growth opportunities.
