PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43460249/pepsicos-q4-sales-miss-estimates-on-downcast-performance-in-north-america-stock-dives">mixed fourth quarter</a>, missing revenue while beating earnings per share estimates. The management highlighted key strategic changes to its snack business Frito-Lay North America, which manufactures popular products like Lays, Cheetos, and Doritos.
What Happened: Frito-Lay North America (FLNA) experienced a decline in organic revenue for both the full year 2024 and the fourth quarter. Full-year organic revenue decreased by 0.5%, a significant drop from the 9% growth seen in 2023. In the fourth quarter alone, organic revenue was down 2%.
PepsiCo reinvested heavily in FLNA in Q4, funded partly by one-time gains, to revitalize volume growth. This included tactical spending and strategic groundwork for 2025.
The chairman and CEO of the company, Ramon Luis Laguarta in response to an analyst during its earnings call said, &#8220;We reinvested most of the one-time gains in building the infrastructure to capture those opportunities in 25.&#8221;
The management also highlighted that FLNA is emphasizing value offerings at different price points and pack sizes. This is alongside healthier options like products with lower sodium, and fat, better ingredients, and plant-based items. The management is addressing consumer preferences for &#8220;positive choices&#8221; and &#8220;permissible offerings.&#8221;
PepsiCo Beverages North America organic revenue increased 1% in 2024, which compares to 7% organic revenue growth in the prior year, whereas, Quaker Foods North America organic revenue declined 14 percent in 2024.

Why It Matters: Laguarta said, &#8220;I think there&#8217;s a higher level of awareness in general of American consumers toward health and wellness, driven by conversations around obesity drugs, and other health-related topics. This increased awareness is influencing consumer behavior, which PepsiCo is addressing through its strategies&#8221;.
Fourth-quarter sales fell slightly short of expectations, decreasing 0.2% year-over-year to $27.78 billion compared to the projected $27.89 billion. However, adjusted EPS of $1.96 beat the $1.94 consensus.
For the next full year, PepsiCo projects low single-digit organic sales growth for 2025, anticipating a gradual improvement in North America. They reaffirmed their long-term targets of 4-6% organic sales growth and high single-digit EPS growth.
Restructuring efforts aim to boost international growth and North American efficiency, the management highlighted. PepsiCo also said that it is mindful of macroeconomic uncertainties and evolving consumer behavior, including the potential impact of weight loss drugs, though no direct impact has been observed.
Price Action: Shares of PepsiCo fell 4.51% to end Tuesday at $143.49 apiece. It rose by 0.49% in after-hours. The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose 0.67% to $601.78 on Tuesday.
The average price target among 20 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PEP/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a> is $178.35 with a ‘hold' rating. The estimates range from $155 to $200 apiece. Recent ratings from RBC Capital, JP Morgan, and Deutsche Bank suggest a $171.67 target, implying a potential upside of 19.05%.

Morgan Stanley&#8217;s CIO&nbsp;cautioned investors regarding the risks of President, Donald Trump&#8216;s growth-negative policies such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43454424/china-strikes-back-new-tariffs-up-to-15-on-certain-us-imports-in-retaliation-for-trumps-10-levy-on-chinese-goods">tariffs </a>and immigration enforcement. 
What Happened: The Chief U.S. Equity Strategist and CIO of&nbsp;Morgan Stanley, Mike Wilson, predicted weak stock returns for the S&amp;P 500 in&nbsp;the next 3 to 6&nbsp;months.
He pointed out that the &#8220;equity negative&#8221; policies were introduced before the &#8220;equity positive&#8221; measures had sufficient time to take effect in the form of less crowding out and lower interest rates. He mentioned deregulation, tax extensions, and reduced government spending as some of these &#8216;equity-positive&#8217; measures.
He cautioned about tough times ahead and predicted the S&amp;P 500 to trade between $5,500-$6,100 in&nbsp;the next 3 to 6&nbsp;months, with a fourth-quarter price target of $6,500. &#8220;Since we have been expecting tariffs to be implemented, this realization only furthers our preference for consumer services over goods. It also supports our preference for financials and other domestically geared businesses that have limited currency or trade exposures,&#8221; added the Morgan Stanley CIO.
The Morgan Stanley top strategist believes that DeepSeek&#8217;s latest AI model has added another level of uncertainty for investors and reiterated his preference for software and media over semiconductors. However, BofA&#8217;s Vivek Arya stated <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43474406/nvidia-still-a-top-pick-as-microsoft-meta-stick-with-gpus-despite-deepseek-challenge-analyst">yesterday </a>&#8220;Despite DeepSeek&#8217;s supposed ‘revolutionary' optimizations, there is no change thus far to spending intentions at Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) large customers including Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).&#8221;

Why It Matters: In the last two weeks since President Trump&#8217;s inauguration, the market has been nearly flat, with the S&amp;P 500 slipping 0.18% since Jan. 20. Trump&#8217;s announcement of a 25% <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/02/43476012/trumps-canada-tariffs-bffs-for-decades-what-went-wrong-can-it-really-be-about-fentanyl-unlikely">tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico</a>, which has been postponed by a month. 
Prior to that, the announcement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43476917/deepseek-a-trojan-horse-kevin-oleary-calls-bs-on-deepseeks-6m-budget-claims-they-ripped-off-60k-nvidia-chips-from-the-black-market">DeepSeek unsettled the technology sector</a>, triggering a brief market selloff.
In addition to Morgan Stanley, economists at Goldman Sachs have raised concerns about the imposition of tariffs. They estimate that for every 5-percentage-point increase in the tariff rate, the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s earnings per share could decline by approximately 1% to 2%.

On Tuesday, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) CEO Sundar Pichai hinted at potential future monetization strategies for Gemini AI, including the introduction of ads.
What Happened: During the company's <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43479274/alphabet-q4-earnings-highlights-ai-cloud-youtube-momentum-continues-capex-guidance-sends-shares-lower">fourth-quarter earnings</a> call, analyst Ken Gawrelski asked about the long-term monetization strategy for Gemini, particularly whether ads would be integrated into the platform.
In response, Pichai confirmed that while the company is currently focused on free and premium subscription tiers, advertising will likely play a role in the future.

&#8220;We do have very good ideas for native ad concepts, but you will see us lead with the user experience,&#8221; Pichai stated, adding, &#8220;But I do think we&#8217;re always committed to making the products work and reach billions of users at scale. And advertising has been a great aspect of that strategy.&#8221;
Comparing Gemini's potential ad model to YouTube's approach, he suggested that Google will offer users choices over time. &#8220;Just like you&#8217;ve seen with YouTube, we&#8217;ll give people options over time,&#8221; Pichai added.
For now, however, Google remains focused on driving adoption through subscriptions, he said.

Why It Matters: During the earnings call, Pichai also highlighted Google&#8217;s extensive user base, stating that seven of the company&#8217;s products and platforms, each with over two billion users, are now integrating Gemini.
He also underscored Google&#8217;s leadership in AI, noting that its generative media models and Gemini consistently rank at the top of industry leaderboards and benchmarks. In fact, more than 4.4 million developers are currently using Gemini models— double the number from six months ago.
Alphabet reported fourth-quarter revenue of $96.5 billion, a 12% year-over-year increase. However, it fell short of the Street consensus estimate of $96.6 billion, according to <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent020425&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Price Action: As of early Wednesday, Alphabet's Class A shares were down 7.35% in pre-market trading, while Class C shares had fallen 7.08%. On Tuesday, Class A shares closed 2.56% higher at $206.38, while Class C shares rose 2.50% to $207.71.

Google's Gemini AI Could Soon Include Ads — Sundar Pichai Hints At Future Monetization Beyond Subscriptions

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) had thin trading volumes on Tuesday as its valuations have skyrocketed and its stock has fallen since the reelection of President Donald Trump, the recent charts point towards a weakness in the stock.
What Happened: DJT&#8217;s trading volume was significantly lower than average as of Tuesday&#8217;s close. Only 3.53 million shares were traded compared to the average of 20.03 million.
The technical analysis of its simple daily moving averages signals a downtrend with mixed momentum indicators.
DJT shares closed Tuesday at $30.62, lower than its 200-day simple moving average of $32.56, and 50-day average at $34.47. It was also lower than its eight-day average of $31.16 and the 20-day average of $34.87. This indicates a bearish downtrend.
However, the momentum indicators were mixed. The relative strength index of 40.59 showed that the stock is in the neutral zone. whereas the negative MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) indicator of 1.27 suggests potential for downward momentum in the near term.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, the company has a price-to-sales ratio of 1,013, signaling the company is overvalued. The price-to-earnings ratio cannot be used as the metric to compute valuation as the company had an operating loss of $23.7 million and a net loss of $19.2 million, in the third quarter.

Why It Matters: Trump held 57% of the company, however, in December he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42609228/trump-transfers-entire-djt-stake-to-revocable-trust-ahead-of-inauguration">transferred</a> his entire stake of 114,750,000 shares to Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust of which he is the sole beneficiary. The DJT stock, which soared after Trump won the election, has declined 9.78% since Nov. 5.

The company plans to develop investment products focused on American-first industries, targeting growth sectors such as manufacturing, energy, and crypto/blockchain assets.
