PepsiCo is facing challenges as it prepares for its upcoming earnings report, with several factors weighing on its performance. The rise of GLP-1 drugs, which suppress appetite, poses a significant threat to its snack division, leading to concerns about its market position, especially among younger consumers who are increasingly health-conscious. Despite these challenges, PepsiCo benefits from a strong Frito-Lay snack franchise and a solid dividend yield of approximately 4%. There is some optimism due to Elliott Management's recent stake in the company, indicating a belief in its long-term value. However, overall performance has been lackluster, with PepsiCo down 7% this year while competitors like Coca-Cola have seen gains, raising questions about its future trajectory.

TOP PICK
With the Cdn$ so strong, now is the time to take advantage of our dollar to buy big multinational companies at a discount. Diversified across a number of product lines. Recently increased the dividend 7%. Trading at a discount.
BUY
Model price is $62.45 and he would be tempted to buy this one. Would also be tempted to buy Coca-Cola (KO-N). They both look like good buys.
BUY
Great play on emerging markets as it has brands that people want to buy. They have chips as well with Frito Lay and the food group. Very strong cash generator with a big overseas operation.
BUY
Found it difficult to find reasonable value in consumer staples areas. March to now is recognition that it was trading at a low multiple compared to Coke. There is more growth in this one.
TOP PICK
Leading multinational company and derives almost a third of revenues from emerging markets. Packaged food division and moving to organic. Good growth rate at 8%-10% over the next 3 to 5 years. Not expensive at 15.5X earnings and a 3.1% dividend yield. With Cdn$ being so strong, it might be time to think about diversifying your currency exposure.
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.
BUY
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.
TOP PICK
Sells at a discount to Coke (KO-N) and to the market but has bigger emerging market exposure. Re-formulating a number of their Frito Lay products to become more natural and take out the artificial ingredients. 3% yield.
DON'T BUY
Technically it has a problem with overhead resistance of around $67. Historically consumer staple stocks like this one have done very well in the summer.
BUY
Very good company. Competing well. Earnings are growing and it is not that expensive.
TOP PICK
Stable. Good dividend. Growing well. Good international operations. Recently bought a Russian dairy and juice producer.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 9/09. Up 7.61%.) Just announced a deal with the largest dairy and juice producer in Russia.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 9/09. Up 6.91%.)
BUY
Good diversification with beverages and snacks. Frito-Lay is about 30% of their business. Will be investing about $2.5 billion in China over the next few years. Bought their bottlers, which has been accretive to earnings.
BUY
Likes this one. Not expensive. US business has turned around nicely. Has been some good volume increases in Frito-Lay's. Good dividend yield.
