PepsiCo is a global leader in snacks and beverages, owning well-known household brands including Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Lay's, Cheetos, and Doritos, among others. The company dominates the global savory snacks market and also ranks as the second-largest beverage provider in the world (behind Coca-Cola) with diversified exposure to carbonated soft drinks, or CSD, as well as water, sports, and energy drink offerings. Convenience foods account for approximately 58% of its total revenue, with beverages making up the rest. Pepsi owns the bulk of its manufacturing and distribution capacity in the US, but uses bottlers overseas for beverages. International markets made up 41% of total sales and 46% of operating profits before corporate expenses in 2025.

PEP has underperformed the market in the last year with a return of +8.4%, while SPY returned +31.9%. This shows that you would have done better investing in the overall market (through SPY) over the last year than in PEP shares. However, PEP has outperformed the market in the last 3 month and 2 week periods, returning +11.3% and +1.5%, while SPY returned -4.5% and +0.6%, respectively. This indicates PEP has been having a stronger performance recently.
PEP support price is $154.65 and resistance is $158.82 (based on 1 day standard deviation move). This means that using the most recent 20 day stock volatility and applying a one standard deviation move around the stock's closing price, stastically there is a 67% probability that PEP shares will trade within this expected range on the day.
