PURCHASE, N.Y. , June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) today announced that it will issue its second-quarter 2025 (ending June 14) financial results and other related information on Thursday, July 17, 2025 by posting the following materials and links on the company's website at www.pepsico.com/investors.
I invest for rising, inflation-beating income and prioritize stocks with strong, proven competitive advantages like PepsiCo. PepsiCo is undervalued due to market focus on mega-cap tech, temporary cost pressures, and overblown fears about weight-loss drugs impacting demand. PepsiCo's dividend remains safe, with a likely 6% annual growth, supported by global expansion and eventual normalization of borrowing costs.
The latest trading day saw PepsiCo (PEP) settling at $131.74, representing a -0.08% change from its previous close.
PEP trades at a discount to peers. Weak North America sales and a slashed 2025 outlook fuel investor caution.
PEP's international momentum, led by strong beverage sales, localization and supply chain investments, fuels optimism despite U.S. softness and FX headwinds.
Coca-Cola earns a BUY rating due to superior profitability, growth sustainability, and business model efficiency compared to PepsiCo, which is rated HOLD. KO's focused beverage model, higher net margins, and efficient cost structure give it a clear edge over PEP's diversified, capital-intensive operations. Both companies have manageable debt and similar solvency, but KO outperforms PEP in EPS growth and stability, reinforcing its investment appeal.
There's a predicament when it comes to investing because the best companies to buy aren't always the ones that investors are buying. Sometimes, emotions get the better of Wall Street, and stocks are bid up to levels that are hard to justify.
PepsiCo (PEP) closed at $131.92 in the latest trading session, marking a +0.96% move from the prior day.
