PepsiCo: Dividend Hike Supports The Value Thesis, Jefferies Downgrade Offers Opportunity
I maintain a buy rating on PepsiCo despite technical concerns, citing stable EPS growth and a high 3.6% dividend yield. PEP has underperformed the Consumer Staples Sector ETF and S&P 500 since last year, with shares down 12% since Q3 2024. Key risks include consumer wellness trends, Frito-Lay North America challenges, and macroeconomic uncertainties, but long-term EPS growth targets remain optimistic.
