Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) on Wednesday hiked its full-year operating income outlook by 400 billion yen ($2.62 billion) to 4,700 billion yen for the financial year ending March 2025.
Upbeat Forecast: The company now expects full-year sales revenue of 47,000 billion yen and a margin of 10%, up from its previous forecast of 9.3%. 
The revised forecast reflects the company&#8217;s progress in strengthening earnings power and efforts to improve product competitiveness and value chain earnings, it said.
Weak Quarterly Results: The upbeat forecasts, however, follow a weak quarterly report. Toyota reported an operating income of 1.22 trillion yen for the three months through December, marking a drop of about 28% from the corresponding period last year, owing to a significant drop in operating income in Japan and North America.
Sales revenue in the period, however, rose marginally to 12.39 trillion yen.
Why It Matters: Toyota retained its position as the world's best-selling automaker in 2024 after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43380849/toyota-retains-top-selling-automaker-position-while-continuing-to-trail-tesla-byd-in-ev-sales">reporting 10.8 million sales</a>, marking a dip of 4% from a year ago.
The sales numbers include those of the company's Lexus brand as well as its subsidiaries Daihatsu and Hino. Daihatsu reported sales of 536,588 units worldwide in 2024 while Hino reported sales of 125,556 units.
German automaker Volkswagen Group, in comparison, sold only about 9 million vehicles last year.
Price Action: Toyota&#8217;s NYSE-listed shares are up 2.9% in pre-market trading. The stock stock closed at $187.56 on Tuesday, down 7.6% over the past year, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro.</a> 
(1 Japanese Yen = $0.0065)

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%.
