Goldman Sachs lowered its price target on Neutral-rated Pepsico (NYSE: PEP) from $74 to $71 on lower estimates on forex and a lower target P/E multiple of 14x versus 14.5x.
"Although the valuation gap between KO vs. PEP has widened to 22% (versus 10-year average of 4%), we do not expect the gap to narrow in the near term given the lingering challenges in its US beverage operation," the analyst commented.
The firm cut FY11 EPS form $4.43 to $4.40 and FY12 from$4.84 to $4.75.
