PepsiCo's Trading Volume Surges 68.75% to 14.78 Billion, Ranks 79th Despite Stock Price Decline

On May 30, 2025, PepsiCo's trading volume reached 14.78 billion, marking a significant 68.75% increase from the previous day. This surge placed PepsiCo at the 79th position in the day's stock market rankings. However, PepsiCo's stock price fell by 0.36%.

PepsiCo's stock has faced challenges in recent months, with shares declining over the past three months. This underperformance has raised concerns about the company's future prospects, despite its defensive business model. The decline in stock price has been attributed to weak consumer sentiment and broader market trends.

Analysts have noted that PepsiCo's stock has underperformed the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund, which has seen a more modest decrease. This suggests that PepsiCo's stock price is more volatile compared to its peers. The Expectations Index, which measures consumers' short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions, has also dropped to its lowest level since 2011, indicating a pessimistic consumer sentiment.
