UBS cuts PepsiCo price target to $145 amid stock drop ahead of Q3 earnings

UBS has maintained its Buy rating on PepsiCo but lowered the price target from $159 to $145 following a nearly 8% drop in PepsiCo's stock over the past month. Investors are awaiting the company's Q3 earnings report on October 8, with analysts expecting earnings per share of $2.29 and revenue of $24.89 billion. Concerns remain about PepsiCo's ability to beat earnings expectations and its capital allocation strategies. The upcoming earnings report and management commentary will be key to determining if the recent stock decline continues or reverses.

PepsiCo's market cap stands at $171.43 billion as of October 2, 2026, 22:41 WIB, with a dividend yield of 4.67%. The stock price on Pluang is USD 125.42, showing a slight 1-day decline of 0.18%. Despite UBS maintaining a Buy rating, investors on Pluang have shown full buy interest with 100% buy order activity, awaiting the company's Q3 earnings report on October 8 for further direction.
