Coming into today, shares of the food and beverage company had lost 0.33% in the past month. In that same time, the Consumer Staples sector lost 1.57%, while the S&P 500 lost 4.53%.

Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $16.42 billion, up 2.08% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $5.51 per share and revenue of $66.52 billion. These totals would mark changes of -2.65% and +2.88%, respectively, from last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for PEP should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
