PepsiCo's stock fell 4.29% to $149.27 despite beating Q1 earnings expectations with 8.5% revenue growth and margin expansion. The company expects 2-4% organic revenue growth and 4-6% EPS growth for fiscal 2026, supported by strong international performance and a 54th consecutive dividend increase. Analysts recommend buying with a 90% confidence level and a 12-month price target of $175.82, citing margin gains and global expansion as key drivers. Risks include US consumer affordability and commodity tariff pressures, but the dividend yield of 3.68% offers income stability.
