Overview
PepsiCo has the highest revenue of any company in this list, at US$95.4bn in the Forbes Global 2000 for 2026, but its business is split between drinks and food: Forbes’ description lists separate beverage segments for North America and international franchise markets, including SodaStream, alongside food and snack segments.[1] It is included because beverages are one of its two core businesses. The company is headquartered in Purchase, New York, and Forbes records 306,000 employees.[1]
