PepsiCo Stock Rebounds from Yearly Low Ahead of Earnings Report
The PepsiCo stock chart indicates:
Yesterday, the price dropped below $161, setting a new low for 2024.
However, by the end of the trading day, the price rose above $163.3, closing near the day's high.
This bullish intraday behaviour might suggest positive sentiment emerging ahead of today's earnings report.
According to Dow Jones Newswires:
PepsiCo's management anticipates organic revenue growth of 4% and an 8% increase in earnings per share in 2024.
The consensus among analysts tracked by FactSet is a 3% rise in sales and a 7% increase in earnings.
PepsiCo's stock has fallen by 9% over the past two months. Investors are concerned that demand might suffer due to rising prices from inflation and the growing popularity of weight-loss drugs, which could curb people's cravings for snacks and sugary drinks.
Technical Analysis of the PEP Daily Chart Today Shows:
In the long term, the PEP price is in an uptrend (shown in blue).
The price decline from the May high (point A) has brought the price to the lower boundary of this channel, suggesting a potential buying opportunity.
The RSI indicator at point B (13 June) fell into the oversold zone, and yesterday's price action might be forming a bullish divergence.
Today's earnings report will provide more clarity. If investors see strong sales results, the PEP stock price might receive a bullish boost. In such a case, resistance could be encountered around the $170 level.
According to TipRanks analysts' forecast monitoring, the average target price for PEP stock is $187.40, representing a 14.55% increase from current levels in the next 12 months.
