PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP)

The financial data reveals several notable trends over the analyzed period.

Operating Profit

The operating profit shows a general upward trend, increasing from 5,922 million US dollars in 2005 to 12,887 million US dollars in 2024. Despite some fluctuations, there is a clear long-term growth. For instance, after a peak in 2011 at 9,633 million, it slightly declined in subsequent years but resumed growth post-2015. The highest recorded value appears in 2024. This suggests improved profitability or efficiency in the company's operations over time.

Net Revenue

Net revenue demonstrates an overall increasing trend from 32,562 million US dollars in 2005 to 91,854 million US dollars in 2024. Revenue growth was steady with significant jumps around 2010 and continuing upwards through 2024. However, in 2015 and 2016, a slight decline or stagnation is observed before continuing the upward trajectory. This trend indicates expanding sales or business scale, reflecting successful revenue-generating strategies.

Operating Profit Margin

The operating profit margin fluctuates between approximately 13% and 18%. It peaked early in the period, around 18.61% in 2009, followed by a downward trend to around 13.1% in 2023. There is a minor rebound noted in 2024. Despite rising absolute operating profits and revenues, the margin shows some compression, indicating costs may have increased or pricing pressures intensified over time.

In summary, the company exhibits robust growth in both operating profit and net revenue over the two decades analyzed. Nevertheless, the operating profit margin reflects some variability and an overall slight decrease in relative profitability, possibly due to rising costs or market competition. The combination suggests the company has increased its scale substantially but faces ongoing challenges in maintaining high profitability ratios.
