On October 7th, PepsiCo (PEP.O) shares fell by 1.4%, closing at $124.02. The company will release its quarterly earnings before market open on Thursday, and investors are closely watching for signs of pressure from tightening consumer budgets. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), Wall Street expects the carbonated beverage and snack giant's Q3 revenue to grow approximately 4% year-on-year to $24.96 billions, with adjusted earnings per share (EPS) at $2.29, unchanged from a year ago. Last quarter, PEP's revenue exceeded expectations but the company warned that performance in North America would slow due to tighter consumer budgets. Facing cost pressures and the threat from GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, PepsiCo (PEP) has limited time left to meet the growth and margin targets set a year ago following activist investor Elliott Management’s $4 billions stake. So far this year, PEP share price has dropped about 14%, underperforming both the S&P 500 Soft Drink & Non-Alcoholic Beverage Index's 8% rise (.SPLRCBEVS) and the S&P 500 Consumer Staples Index's 6% gain (.SPLRCS). The stock is currently trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 14, below its five-year average of 21. Among 25 analysts' recommendations: 7 rate it as “Strong Buy” or “Buy,” 17 rate it as “Hold,” and 1 rates it as “Sell.” The median target price is $152, down from $170 on July 7.
