On Nov 6, analysts reported that PepsiCo shares were exhibiting elevated implied volatility, prompting a recommendation for a short strangle options strategy that would profit if the stock remained within a defined price range after earnings. The strategy was noted to reflect a neutral market view, as no earnings announcement or corporate event was cited. On the same day, PepsiCo renewed its beverage supply agreement with KFC in eight international markets, including Australia, India, the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. The extension will see PepsiCo supply a range of its beverage brands—such as Pepsi Zero Sugar, Pepsi MAX, Pepsi MAX Cherry, Lipton Peach Iced Tea and 7UP—to KFC restaurants, with product selections tailored to local consumer preferences. The renewal supports joint promotional initiatives and product innovation, although financial terms were not disclosed. The deal reinforces PepsiCo’s position as a key beverage supplier to KFC worldwide.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into PEP?

FAIR

At today's price, PepsiCo, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 3.2% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 6.00% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at 4.0% a year, so the market is asking for 0.8 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis PEP looks priced roughly in line with its own growth record.

27.6% 94th pct
Below its peak

vs 200-day average
-0.9%
Up days (1y)
46%

PepsiCo, Inc. is currently running 27.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against PEP's own 9 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 94th percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 16.2%.

PEP is trading -26.2% below its running peak. Across 9 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -17.6%, and the deepest was -29.2% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -0.9% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 34th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year PEP closed higher on 46% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On November specifically: over 8 years of records, PEP finished the month higher 5 of 8 times, with a median return of +2.5% and an average of +2.7%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +2.7% on average, its weakest September at -3.7%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: PEP has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 14 of 2,230 sessions (0.6% of the time), with the largest gaps running +4.4% and -7.5%.

Across the last 4 dated reports on file, PEP moved an average of 1.3% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 4 times, with a median move of -0.7% and a largest of +2.0%.

All figures computed from 2,231 daily closes between 2017-12-20 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against PEP's own 9-year history, not a peer group or index.
