Goldman Sachs raised its price target on Pepsico (NYSE: PEP) from $65 to $68 ahead of Q4 results on February 9th. However, the firm is keeping its Neutral rating.

The firm said that most expect the company to announce a sizable step-up in marketing spending. "While re-basing of 2012 EPS is widely anticipated, we see PEP remaining a “show-me story” until signs of improving market share performance in US beverages emerge."
