Upgraded today. A staple. They've done a fantastic job managing its balance sheet and diversifying its products, not only beverages but also snacks. Revenue grows 10% annually in the last two years. Strong and unusual.

Last Thursday, they delivered excellent earnings. They will take out their December high of $186.

TOP PICK
Current share price is expensive, but prospects are strong for business.
Very stable business that is good for defensive investors.
Ability to raise prices limited going forward, but has been excellent the past year.
Potential for volume growth also very strong.
Company focused on snack business as segment continues to grow.

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Similarly, Pepsi made its numbers by raising prices by 17% and shrinking only 1% in product volume. Revenues were up 9% for Q3 YOY, totaling $21.97 billion and beating the street’s $20.84 billion. Its Q3 EPS came in at $1.97 well ahead of the expected $1.84. This despite weakness in Frito-Lay’s North American division. Total organic growth clocked in at 16%. Not only that but management raised full-year guidance from 10% organic revenue growth to 12% and raised EPS growth from 8% to 10%. Back to Frito-Lay: volumes dipped in the quarter, but revenue did pop 20%. Similarly, Quaker Food North American revenue rose 15% despite another decline in volume.

She wished she had bought this. She's been deterred because it always trades at a pricey 26x forward PE. They beat and raise no matter what over the past DECADE. Total organic growth by 16% let by Frit0 Lay North America (up 20%). Why? They have the products and pricing power. This is definitely a buy on pullback.

They sell snacks and not just the drinks. Are raising prices as input prices decline. A tailwind will be the USD when it eventually weakens. Well-run company and defensive that you need in this market.
