Dr Pepper Snapple (NYSE:DPS) announced solid results in Q3 on October 27, resulting in another increase in full-year core EPS guidance for the company, after it increased expectations following the announcement of Q2 results. Dr Pepper’s volume sales in U.S. CSDs are much lower than that for both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, but compared to its much larger compatriots, the former is less exposed to the effects of currency translation. In 2015, while 46% and 56% of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo’s net sales came from the U.S., a larger 89% of Dr Pepper’s revenue came from the home market. Dr Pepper is also more reliant on sales of carbonated soft drinks (CSD) compared to both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, with CSDs forming 82% of its net volume last year. However, despite being heavily dependent on the declining U.S. CSD market, Dr Pepper Snapple has been able to increase both its volume and revenue in this market in the last few years owing to its increasing market share, by increasing its reach and availability. Solid operational performance, leading to an increase in margin, despite a decline in top line, pushed up estimates for the full-year earnings for Dr Pepper.
