PepsiCo (PEP) rose 1.38% on August 12, 2025, trading at $144.87 with a daily volume of $1.12 billion, ranking 74th in the market. The stock has gained 11.1% over the past three months, driven by outperforming Q2 2025 results and improved guidance. Strong net revenue growth and a bullish 50-day moving average position PEP as a near-term outperformer.
The company’s strategic focus on innovation, cost optimization, and regional expansion is fueling momentum. North America’s “One North America” integration and international demand for localized products are key growth drivers. Supply chain resilience through automation and digitalization further supports profit margins amid trade challenges.
Valuation metrics highlight PEP’s appeal, with a forward P/E of 17.53x, below industry and S&P 500 averages. Analysts have raised 2025 and 2026 EPS estimates by 1.78% and 1.81%, respectively, reflecting confidence in its growth trajectory. The stock’s 19.4% discount to its 52-week high suggests potential for further upside.
A backtest of buying the top 500 stocks by daily volume and holding for one day from 2022 to the present yielded a $2,340 profit. The strategy faced a maximum drawdown of -15.3% on October 27, 2022, underscoring market volatility despite overall gains.
