CFRA Downgrades Pepsico (PEP) to Buy on 'near-term concerns related to slowing earnings growth'

CFRA analyst Garrett Nelson downgraded Pepsico (NASDAQ: PEP) from Strong Buy to Buy with a price target of $210.00 (from $200.00).

The analyst commented: "The beat was driven by a lower-than-expected tax rate, as net revenue fell 0.5% to $27.85B ($520M short of consensus) as volumes fell across both the Convenient Foods (-3%) and Beverages (-2%) categories...We lower our opinion to Buy, reflecting near-term concerns related to slowing earnings growth ('24 growth should be about half the Y/Y rate achieved in '23) and volumes are likely to remain challenged by consumer pushback to product price increases."
