PepsiCo receives a bearish rating from the host due to its high valuation (trailing P/E of 27.58) coupled with negligible underlying business growth. Its revenue has only compounded by approximately 1.7-3% annually in recent years, with earnings remaining largely flat over the past 13 years. Furthermore, sales volume has been declining since 2022, indicating that recent revenue increases are primarily attributable to price hikes rather than organic growth, which is viewed as an unfavorable trend.
