PepsiCo Sales Surges as Shoppers Stock Up. It's Going to Get Worse But Snacks Will Ease the Pain. -- Barrons.com

PepsiCo stock climbed in premarket trading as the soda and snack giant reported surging sales in the first quarter.

The beverage maker, which also owns Lay's and Doritos, said organic sales grew 7.9% in the first three months of the year as consumers stocked up due to lockdown measures and shelter-in-place orders. The stock rose 1.5% before the open. Chief financial officer Hugh Johnston told analysts he expected second- quarter sales to decline at a low single-digit rate as restaurants, movie theaters and other venues remain closed around the world.

The company also withdrew its 2020 guidance due to the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic and expected second-quarter sales to decline at a low-single digit rate

"Despite a strong first quarter, there is still a great deal of uncertainty that exists in relation to COVID-19, including how geographies, retail channels and consumer behaviors will evolve over time," the company said in a statement. Despite the uncertainty, PepsiCo said it still expects to return $7.5 billion to shareholders in this financial year and repurchase $2 billion in shares.

Net revenue rose 7.7% to $13.881 billion in the first quarter, ahead of the FactSet consensus of $13.192 billion, while net income fell to $1.338 billion -- 96 cents per share -- but adjusted earnings per share of $1.07 beat estimates of $1.03.

Pepsi performed better than its rival Coca-Cola, whose sales volumes fell 1% in the quarter despite shoppers stockpiling ahead of the lockdowns internationally. Approximately half of Coca-Cola's revenues come from its away- from-home channels, which include restaurants, bars and movie theaters -- all of which have been closed in countries around the world. Last week, Coca-Cola warned the second quarter would be worse and had started with a 25% slump in volumes so far in April.

Pepsi's more diversified snack offering has helped it outperform its rival during the coronavirus pandemic, with its Frito-Lays and Quaker Foods North America businesses achieving 7% organic revenue growth.

Chief Executive Ramon Laguarta said: "With consumers spending more time at home, we've seen an increase in eating breakfast and a tendency to snack more during the day. The Frito and Quaker food businesses are well positioned to capitalize on these changes. And as a result, we've seen higher household penetration across a variety of our products." He added that the negative impact on beverages is more significant than the positive impact on snacks, but that PepsiCo had shifted its advertising and revenue management, as well as promotions, in a bid to capitalize.

The U.S. beverage business has conversely been impacted by a shift away from some channels, such as gas stations and food services, he added.

Looking ahead. Pepsi has certainly capitalized on pantry loading in recent months but the path ahead is less clear. Consumer habits have drastically changed in a short space of time and it is difficult to predict how they will further evolve as the pandemic progresses. Laguarta said he expects gradual improvement in sales at gas and convenience stores as people return to work but said revenue from restaurants, movie theaters and sporting events would take longer. As with Coca-Cola, the second quarter will undoubtedly be worse but Pepsi's snack offering will ease the pain.

Great quarter. Not changing dividend or buyback program. Tons of revenue as people stock up. Position growing through div re-investment. Staples with dividends seem to be a safe investment. I don’t trade these as the dividend tends to put a roof over and a floor under them.

See ya next Q. Everyone stay safe.

[NewMoney]

I just realized my position increased by 21 shares. I forgot I selected dividend re-investment. Stock goes down divided goes up. I love divided stocks for long holds.

[DeerBalls]

OK, SO HERE’S A NEW RECAP: 

Starter! Getting defensive. Nice dividend. Close: $145

Ok. Earnings beat. As I expected, similar results to already reported coke. The two companies products are so similar they look almost like they have the same chart. China exposure is less than 2%. Should be a great defensive position with a decent dividend. Close: $146+

Pepsi down. Dammit. LOLOL Close: $142...

Silence, but for a quick comment 3/17....PEP GOES ALL THE WAY TO $101....LOLOLOLOL

love this sentence about Pepsi.....

PepsiCo products are enjoyed by consumers more than one billion times a day in more than 200 countries and territories around the world.

PepsiCo generated more than $67 billion in net revenue in 2019, driven by a complementary food and beverage portfolio that includes Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Pepsi-Cola, Quaker and Tropicana. PepsiCo's product portfolio includes a wide range of enjoyable foods and beverages, including 23 brands that generate more than $1 billion each in estimated annual retail sales.

PEP$$$ $175 TARGET PRICE

[NewMoney]

I did the opposite of hedging on my starter and bought some calls just out of the money. Now in the money with a couple months left on them. Very very nice.

[NewMoney]

Very nice slow churn higher I expected to see while I wait for my dividend. Very nice.

[NewMoney]

Yep. Several reiterations and upgrades. Sweet Pepsi. (And Gatorade!) All that and a bag of chips. lol

[thumper1]

gatorade ZERO is why im here....

winner winner chicken dinner

best of luck to all

been here for awhile and yes

its a great defensive play

[ezyE]

Target price! $ 160

[NewMoney]

Recovered nicely. No problem here.

[NewMoney]

Stocks that have been running often sell off after earnings, even good earnings. Makes sense that those with gains on the books will take profits. That’s why it’s advisable to buy before and after earnings when starting a position.

At least that’s how I enter a stock.
Consolidation shouldn’t last too long.

[ezyE]

Don't make sense to sell off you think they be buying more.

[NewMoney]

Consolidation after earnings on a good stock, as expected shouldn’t last long. This will be a longer term hold for dividends and the security of a consumer staple in the portfolio.

[NewMoney]

Ok. Earnings beat. As I expected, similar results to already reported coke. The two companies products are so similar they look almost like they have the same chart. China exposure is less than 2%. Should be a great defensive position with a decent dividend.

[NewMoney]

Earnings before market open. Not too concerned, this is a defensive position with a very nice dividend.

[NewMoney]

184 posts in about 19 years. I don’t know if I can take the excitement.

[NewMoney]

Starter! Getting defensive. Nice dividend.

Pep this is Disgusting..... Aborted Fetal Cells Used As Food Flavor Enhancers
RSS
Comprehensive List Of Companies That Use This Flavor Enhancer
"Public to boycott products of major food companies that are partnering with Senomyx, a biotech company that produces artificial flavor enhancers unless the company stops using aborted fetal cell lines to test their products."

"But when Senomyx ignored their letter, they wrote to the companies Senomyx listed on their website as “collaborators” warning them of public backlash and threatened a boycott. Food giants ,Pepsico, Kraft Foods Campbell Soup, Solae and Nestlé are the primary targets of the boycott, though Senomyx boasts other international partners on their website.

Senomyx - "Using isolated human taste receptors, we created proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems that provide a biochemical or electronic readout when a flavor ingredient interacts with the receptor.”

"Senomyx notes their collaborators provide them with research and development funding plus royalties on sales of products using their flavor ingredients."

“What they do not tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 – human embryonic kidney cells are taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors”...., stated Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director for Children of God for Life, a pro-life watchdog group that has been monitoring the use of aborted fetal material in medical products and cosmetics for years."

“They could have easily chosen COS (monkey) cells, Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, insect cells or other morally obtained human cells expressing the G protein for taste receptors”, Vinnedge added.

AHLC NOTE: Here is where I firmly disagree with these "life" affirming watchdog groups. There is NO "morally" obtainable source for such things. They are being hypocritical because they are missing key information on this topic of using, harvesting sentient life forms for personal gain.
"In writing to their collaborators, it took three letters before Nestlé finally admitted the truth about their relationship with Senomyx, noting the cell line was “well established in scientific research”.

"After hearing Ms. Vinnedge speak publicly on the problem, angry consumers began writing the companies. Both Pepsico and Campbell Soup immediately responded."

“If enough people voice their outrage and intent to boycott these consumer products, it can be highly effective in convincing Senomyx to change their methods”, she noted."

Need proof of Senomyx use of aborted fetal cell lines?

Following is the link to the online article for their patent on sweet receptors (they filed several separate patents for each of the different taste receptors): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC123709/

As it is lengthy and technical, we recommend you simply do a search in the document for HEK-293.

HEK CELL (Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cells), also often referred to as HEK 293, 293 cells, or less precisely as HEK cells are a specific cell line originally derived from human embryonic kidney cells grown in tissue culture. HEK 293 cells are very easy to grow and transfect very readily and have been widely used in cell biology research for many years. They are also used by the biotechnology industry to produce therapeutic proteins and viruses for gene therapy.

Below is a list of products that contain HEK cells.

The real fly in the ointment is that Cannabis is still illegal on a Federal level, even in states where it has been legalized. While it is still against the law on a Federal level, I doubt any of the big-boys will step in to a significant degree.

Hopefully however, with Jeff Sessions gone..............who was a very vocal critic of anything and everything Cannabis related, the Feds will see the inevitable and decriminalize it completely.

It will happen eventually. Just a matter of when.
