PepsiCo (PEP.US) reported first-quarter results that missed analysts' average estimates. The company now expects earnings per share in constant currency to be roughly flat from a year earlier, with growth in the mid-single digits.

The company still expects total shareholder returns of about $8.6 billion this year.
