Deutsche Bank initiates coverage on Pepsico (NYSE: PEP) with a Buy rating and $70 price target, suggesting 11% upside.

The firm said even with US and Euro trends soft, macro challenges and cost inflation, relative growth potential remains compelling and risk-adjusted valuation is reasonable.

"Pepsi's consensus numbers for 2012 are too high to support reinvestment, but change is afoot, management is being reshuffled, snacks and beverage combination is being questioned (but defended by management) and valuation looks compelling."
