PepsiCo (PEP) is experiencing challenges due to the rising popularity of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs among health-conscious consumers, especially the younger generation. Despite its long-standing Frito-Lay snack division and a solid dividend yield of nearly 4%, commentators express concerns about shifting consumer preferences impacting sales. The company reports earnings soon, and while some believe it has strong growth potential, others highlight struggles within the snack division. Activist investor Elliott Management's recent stake in PepsiCo suggests some see it as undervalued, viewing the current price as a bargain. However, there are underlying headwinds, including competition from healthier options and an overall cautious economic outlook that raises questions about future growth prospects.

CocaCola,KO

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Not a soft drink stock but a snack food stock. They are the premier one out there.

BUY

This is a far better company than Coca-Cola (KO-N). Likes their product line.

DON'T BUY

Question: Is now a good time to buy? Issues outside the US market like competition and bottling. Looking at consumer staples, this one doesn't come to mind. Possible they will expand into India and China, but would rather wait until there is traction before jumping in.

DON'T BUY

This is a good company and has been doing fairly well. The difficulty he has with this one and a lot of the consumer staples is that they are fairly expensive.

BUY

Coca-Cola (KO-N) and Pepsi (PEP-N) are leaders and are attractive. Both are supplying a growing consumer base overseas. Prefers Pepsi a little bit better because it is less focused on soft drinks. Down side. If this market takes off, a lot of investors hiding in these stocks will sell and they will under perform.

TOP PICK

Has good product diversification. The ability to extend those lines has been their strength for many years. Global exposure.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 23/06. Up 9.2%.) Large cap growth was coming into play at that time. Still a Buy.

BUY

Doing the best it can to give more of a health-food outlook. Trading at about 22 X earnings. We'll probably grow its earnings at about 8%. Have been buying back stock. Would prefer more of international play such as Nestle.

BUY

Between Pepsi and Coke (KO-N) this is the better quality company. Stock has gone sideways in the last year, but you are getting a rising dividend. Free cash flow allows them to make acquisitions to continue to build their brand globally.

BUY

A wonderful long-term investment. Dividends continue to grow every year. Capital expenditures are only about one quarter of their cash flow. Lots of cash. Dividend of 2% and probably 5%-10% growth.

WEAK BUY

Has been a good growth story for the past several years. This is one of the long-term growth stories if you are going to be comfortable with a 10% annual growth.

TOP PICK

Only 20% of their revenues come from carbonated beverages. Well diversified. A very well managed business. They are focused on 10% cash flow growth a year, which they have been doing since 2001. If we have a slow economy, the public keeps on buying their products. Great brand names.

BUY

Still likes it. It's growing. Doing better than the competition. Diversified well. Earnings where a little bit ahead of expectations. Relatively inexpensive.

BUY

A very good quality company. Generates tremendous free cash flows. Long history of increasing dividends. Doesn't own as they have a Mexican beverage company and won't have 2 companies in the same sector in the portfolio because that concentration would increase the risk too much.

BUY

Both Coca-Cola (KO-N) and Pepsi (PEP-N) are trading roughly at the same valuation. Coke has a lot of work to do. Pepsi has better momentum. A big part of their business is the snack food business. On the beverage side they have a better assortment of sports drinks and water franchise. Would Buy Pepsi over Coke at this point.
