Consensus

Positive

Valuation

Fair Value

Similar

PEP

COMMENT

Doesn’t think you will get hurt in this. Doesn’t see any upside or downside in this. 2.8% yield.

WEAK BUY

Not a bad company or stock, but tends to favor pepsi over coke because of the diversity of pepsi's business.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Fabulous company. Dividend has gone up for many years. Valuation is slightly higher than Pepsi (PEP-N). He would like to get in at 14-15 times earnings.

BUY

50% of global beverage is owned by this company. Doesn't own because the yield pickup is not as great as some of the others in the consumer staples. In this volatile market, owning this is not a bad thing. 3% yield.

COMMENT

Great brand on a global basis but getting more competition in the market, which they are adjusting to, but growth in the global market is probably slowing down a little. For a global play he would prefer and industrial or technology company. You won’t go wrong owning it but the stock will only go up with the rate of earnings growth, which is single digits.

HOLD

In the right space. This is the period that consumers’ staples start to do well. Chart shows a nice upward trend. You could add more if it gets down to $63-$64.

DON'T BUY

Pepsi (PEP-N) or Coke (KO-N)? Pepsi has better growth metrics going forward in the range of 10%-12% in earnings and cash flow versus 9%-10% with Coke. Less dependent on carbonated drinks. Has a food business in Frito Lay. Also trades at a lower multiple.

COMMENT

Breaking out right now but he wouldn’t have high expectations. Not a growth stock. Recent breakout is very positive that it is breaking into a new high. Could go up another $3.

COMMENT

Pepsi (PEP-N) versus Coca Cola (KO-N)? Both have similar growth rates. Coke trades at about 17.5X earnings while Pepsi trades at about 14.5X earnings. At a 3 point multiple Pepsi would be his choice. Pepsi is a smaller player but more diversified with their Frito Lay division.

BUY

Likes the emerging market exposure. International earnings are good when the US$ is coming down. Have commodity exposure to sugar, corn and aluminum but likes the growth in that are. Prefers Pepsi (PEP-N). (See Top Picks.)

DON'T BUY

Strongly doubts it will be the strongest stock in the US in the next 5 years. It could be a good stock, given the dividend, but he things there are far better investments out there.

COMMENT

The negative is that sugar prices are at an all time high. More and more sales are coming from out of North America. If the US$ drops, earnings could go up.

BUY

Has done a great job. Good volume growth is coming from the BRIC countries. You are paying a higher multiple than with Pepsi (PEP-N) but you are getting good growth..

SELL

Good time to take some profits. Done very well but getting expensive at 17X earnings.

BUY

Well positioned for decent growth at a not too expensive multiple.
