Pepsi against the world
PepsiCo is a solid investment that has demonstrated stability and steady growth. Despite having a lesser part of the market for carbonated soft drinks, this firm is far more diversified and has a much wider range of brands (including those in the ready-to-eat food and snack sector, and Frito-Lay chips, among others) Pepsico has grown significantly more than Coca-Cola over the past ten years as a result of its diversification.
Due to its wide range of products, Pepsico might experience greater growth in the short term, but both businesses maintain a consistent level of profitability. Coca-Cola stock was trading for about $40 per share in 2013; five years later, it is trading for about $45 per share; on the other hand, Pepsico has seen its shares rise from about $82 per share in early 2014 to today, where it is valued at $118 per share.
According to the recent stock market information that traders need to be aware of right now. That includes the major pre-market stock movers from this morning, as well as what is pushing the shares of Peloton and GameStop.
