Despite a defensive business model, PepsiCo's stock has declined 26% in the past year, underperforming broader markets and raising concerns about its future stability. PepsiCo's reliance on its snacking business, which generates most profits, is under pressure due to declining organic volumes and pricing power erosion. Valuation concerns arise as PepsiCo's enterprise value to free cash flow ratio is high, indicating the stock may not be the bargain it appears to be.
GLENVIEW, Ill. , May 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dermody —a diversified private equity investment management company focused exclusively on the national logistics real estate sector—is pleased to announce that Bottling Group, LLC, operating as Pepsi Beverages Company, a division of PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP), has leased Building 10 at The Logistics Campus, a 351,520 square-foot build-to-suit logistic facility.
PEP's recent decline to $130 is seen as a buying opportunity due to historical seasonality, stable economic profitability, and strong dividend growth. Despite a YoY revenue decline and macroeconomic challenges, PEP's core business remains stable, with future revenue expected around $22.3 billion. PEP's forward P/E ratio is historically low, making it cheaper than competitors and the SP500, signaling a great buying opportunity.
