2 months ago I shared my “sober valuation analysis 🧘🏽♂️” on $PEP explaining why it’s a quality business trading at an attractive valuation
Since then, $PEP shares rose +11% 📈
Of course for the long-term investor what happens month-to-month or year-to-year is irrelevant — yet, a +11% increase on a low-risk consumer staple like $PEP is notable as it reinforces & highlights the importance of the fundamental analysis shared just a couple months ago
As I stated:
“Today at $165💵 $PEP appears to be a worthwhile investment, *especially for* investors who are seeking an investment in a recession proof, low volatility, & >3% dividend yield stock
I view consumer staples as a nice bond proxy / a “bond alternative” in a portfolio that pays an increasing income with some price appreciation (assuming they are purchased at an attractive valuation, limiting downside potential)”

A sober valuation analysis on $PEP 🧘🏽♂️
•NTM P/E Ratio: 20.18x
•10-Year Mean: 22.11x
•NTM FCF Yield: 4.15%
•10-Year Mean: 4.15%
As you can see, $PEP appears to be trading near fair value
Going forward, investors can expect to receive ~10% MORE in earnings per share & the same in FCF per share🧠***
Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $PEP is a quality business
BALANCE SHEET✅
•Cash & Equivalents: $10.00B
•Long-Term Debt: $37.60B
$PEP has a good balance sheet, an A+ S&P Credit Rating & 15.65x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio

•2020: 50.5%
•2021: 51.7%
•2022: 53.7%
•2023: 51.0%
$PEP has solid return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business
REVENUES🆗
•2013: $66.42B
•2023: $91.47B
•CAGR: 3.25%
FREE CASH FLOW❌

•2023: $7.62
•CAGR: 5.71%
SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2013 Shares Outstanding: 1.56B
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 1.38B
By reducing its shares outstanding ~11.5%, $PEP increased its EPS by ~13.0% (assuming 0 growth)
MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 54.2%
•LTM Operating Margins: 14.8%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 9.9%
PAID DIVIDENDS✅

•CAGR: 8.25%
***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~10 MORE in EPS & the same in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $PEP has to grow earnings at a 10.09% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be less than the (10.09%) required growth rate:
2024E: $8.16 (7.1% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $8.82 (8.0% YoY)
2026E: $9.44 (7.0% YoY)

has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $PEP ends 2026 with $9.44 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
22x P/E: $207.68💵 … ~11.5% CAGR
21x P/E: $198.24💵 … ~9.7% CAGR
20x P/E: $188.80💵 … ~7.9% CAGR
As you can see, $PEP has decent return potential at 21x earnings & strong return potential at 22x earnings
Even assuming a 20x multiple, $PEP could compound at ~8% which isn’t too bad when we consider how low-risk $PEP is
Today at $165💵 $PEP appears to be a worthwhile investment, *especially for* investors who are seeking an investment in a recession proof, low volatility, & >3% dividend yield stock
I view consumer staples as a nice bond proxy / a “bond alternative” in a portfolio that pays an increasing income with some price appreciation (assuming they are purchased at an attractive valuation, limiting downside potential)

$AMD $MSFT
Microsoft will launch its custom Cobalt 100 chips to customers as a public preview at its Build conference next week, TechCrunch has learned.
In an analyst briefing ahead of Build, Scott Guthrie, Microsoft’s executive VP of the Microsoft Cloud and AI group, directly compared Cobalt to AWS’s Graviton chips, which have been available to developers for quite a few years now. Guthrie said that Microsoft’s chips will offer 40% better performance over other ARM chips in the market. Adobe, Snowflake and others have already started using the new chips.
Microsoft first announced its Cobalt chips last November. These 64-bit chips are based on the Arm architecture and feature 128 cores.
In addition to the Cobalt chips, Microsft will also make AMD’s MI300X accelerators available to Azure clients next week. Despite being a major GPU manufacturer, AMD has long trailed Nvidia in the AI space, but as the large cloud providers look to find alternatives to Nvidia’s expensive chips — and as AMD has started to gain some ground in this space by offering better software support — these new chips are now a hot commodity as well.
Guthrie described it as the “most cost-effective GPU out there right now for Azure OpenAI.”
