Factors to Determine the Fate of PepsiCo (PEP) in Q4 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP - Free Report) is expected to register top and bottom-line growth when it reports fourth-quarter 2021 numbers on Feb 10, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $24.3 billion, implying 8.3% growth from the year-ago quarter's reported figure.
For quarterly earnings, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.52, suggesting growth of 3.4% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark has moved down by a penny in the past seven days.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.5%. It delivered an earnings surprise of 6.5%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
PepsiCo has been gaining from the resilience and strength in its global snacks and foods business and growth in the beverage category. Market share growth in the liquid refreshment beverage category has been aiding the beverage business. Meanwhile, the food business has been benefiting from share gains in salty and savory snacks, meals, and instant oatmeal, including innovative product launches like the Cheetos Mac ‘n Cheese and Quaker Protein Instant Oatmeal. Growth in both categories is likely to have aided sales and earnings in the fourth quarter.
The company is also expected to have benefited from resilient trends in the North America business. The PBNA segment is likely to have reflected continued gains from investments in innovation, pricing and execution. Growth in its key brands like Mountain Dew, LifeWtr, bubly and Aquafina, Pepsi, and Starbucks is likely to have aided the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company has been benefiting from brand investments, go-to-market systems, supply chain, manufacturing capacity and digital capabilities to build competitive advantages. Robust pricing and volume gains have also been aiding its performance.
However, the impacts of supply-chain disruptions, and inflationary pressures from labor, transportation and commodity costs are likely to have marred the company’s fourth-quarter 2021 results. The aforementioned factors are expected to have weighed on the company’s gross and operating margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
