Read MoreHide Full Article
PepsiCo (PEP - Free Report) closed at $134.88 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.14% move from the prior day. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.31%. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.52%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.28%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the food and beverage company had gained 4.38% over the past month. This has outpaced the Consumer Staples sector's gain of 1.67% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.92% in that time.
PEP will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be October 3, 2019. On that day, PEP is projected to report earnings of $1.50 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 5.97%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $16.97 billion, up 2.93% from the year-ago period.
PEP's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $5.51 per share and revenue of $66.63 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -2.61% and +3.05%, respectively.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for PEP. 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.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell).
