PepsiCo (PEP) Beats on Q4 Earnings & Revenues Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP - Free Report) is one of the largest food and beverage business in North America and the second largest in the world. The company boasts a diverse portfolio, both geographically and product wise. Its principal brands/businesses include: Frito-Lay snacks, Pepsi-Cola beverages, Gatorade sports drinks, Tropicana juices and Quaker foods. The company has the competitive advantage of selling both snacks and beverages which are complementary food categories.
However, growing health and wellness consciousness is hurting carbonated soft drinks or CSD category growth.
Investors should note that the earnings estimate for PEP have remained stable over the past 30 days for 2018. PEP has an impressive earnings surprise history. It has delivered positive earnings surprises in all the past four quarters, bringing the average to a positive surprise of 4.72%.
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce ""the world's first trillionaires,"" but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
