Over the five-year period PepsiCo’s balance sheet shows modest growth and a gradual strengthening of its capital structure. Total assets rose from $92,377m in 2021 to $107,399m in 2025 (an increase of $15,022m, ~16.3% total, roughly 3.8% annualized), with a notable jump into 2023 (to $100,495m), a slight pullback in 2024, then a larger increase in 2025. Total liabilities increased from $76,226m to $86,852m over the same interval (+$10,626m, ~13.9%), but grew more slowly than assets; as a result PepsiCo’s liabilities-to-assets ratio edged down from ~82.5% in 2021 to ~80.9% in 2025, indicating a modest reduction in leverage. Stockholders’ equity rose from $16,043m to $20,406m (+$4,363m, ~27.2%), improving the equity-to-assets ratio from ~17.4% to ~19.0%. One noteworthy fluctuation is the small dip in equity in 2024 (from $18,503m to $18,041m) despite only a slight fall in assets — this could reflect one-time charges, higher share repurchases, or other capital-return activity, whereas the 2023 asset/liability jump and the 2025 rebound may reflect working-capital swings, investments or acquisition-related balances. Overall the balance sheet trends are consistent with a large consumer‑staples company: steady asset growth, manageable increases in liabilities, and a gradual improvement in capitalization; investors should watch the composition of liabilities (short‑term vs. long‑term debt), working capital drivers, and capital‑return policies to understand future leverage and equity trends.
