Shares of PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) tanked after the company reported a sales decline for the first quarter on Thursday.
BofA Securities On PepsiCo
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59638168988ca80001c2ff6a/bryan-spillane">Analyst Bryan Spillane</a> maintained a Neutral rating while reducing the price target from $155 to $150.
PepsiCo reported its quarterly results broadly in line with consensus estimates, Spillane said in a note. Management&#8217;s 2025 earnings guidance reflects tariff costs of around 40 cents per share, he added.
There is a lack of clarity around a recovery in US salty snacks, given the macro volatility, Spillane stated. The company's earnings are expected to decline by around 11% year-on-year in the second quarter, $2.03 per share, "as weaker Frito sales/operating deleverage plays out, hampered further by a $76mil gain to corporate operating profit in the base period," he wrote.

Goldman Sachs On PepsiCo
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58aed4dcb85e9300013bf4da/bonnie-herzog">Analyst Bonnie Herzog</a> reiterated a Buy rating and a price target of $160.
PepsiCo's first-quarter results were "broadly in-line with subdued investor expectations," with earnings coming in at $1.48 per share, versus consensus estimates of $1.49 per share, Herzog said. The results were disappointing but not surprising, he added.
"Given higher expected supply chain costs related to tariffs, elevated macroeconomic volatility, and a subdued consumer backdrop," management lowered their full-year EPS growth guidance to around flat, from their prior projection of mid-single-digit growth, the analyst wrote. 
While 2025 is shaping up to be a challenging year, PepsiCo's growth could reaccelerate, supported by earlier comps, initial return on investments, Continued strength internationally and increased focus on innovation, he stated.
PEP Price Action: Shares of PepsiCohad declined by 2.04% to $132.55 at the time of publication on Friday.

PepsiCo Sees FY2025 Adj EPS $7.92 vs $8.27 Est

"Our businesses remained resilient in the midst of increasingly dynamic and complex geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions in the first quarter. As we look ahead, we expect more volatility and uncertainty, particularly related to global trade developments, which we expect will increase our supply chain costs. At the same time, consumer conditions in many markets remain subdued and similarly have an uncertain outlook," said Chairman and CEO Ramon Laguarta. Laguarta continued, "We are actively planning mitigation actions to address these higher supply chain costs where possible, while at the same time being conscious to minimize disruption to our operations, our consumer and customer relationships, and the long-term health of our business. Accordingly, we will continue building upon the successful long-term expansion of our international business, while also taking actions to improve performance in North America. Our multi-year productivity initiatives will help fund disciplined commercial investments and aid our profitability. In this context, for 2025, we continue to expect low-single-digit organic revenue growth but now expect core constant currency EPS to be approximately even with the prior year (previously expected mid-single-digit growth).

The administration&#8217;s mixed signals on tariffs fueled investor anxiety.

Insights From Analysts:
Acknowledging the swift and often daily shifts in tariff and geopolitical landscapes, Scott Wren, senior global market strategist at Wells Fargo, noted, "With the pace of change on the tariff and geopolitical fronts moving fast and sometimes adjusting on a day-to-day basis, investors are wondering what they might do to help navigate the uncertainties."
To navigate these uncertainties, Wren has advised investors to maintain <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44973246/market-dip-attractive-entry-point-says-wells-fargo-energy-large-and-mid-cap-stock-favored">exposure in higher-quality equities</a> and fixed income, emphasizing the need for a plan to withstand market volatility while pursuing growth.
Wren stated, "The first rule of thumb for our plan is to focus on quality in a diversified manner."
Pointing to the stronger balance sheets, dependable cash flows, easy credit access, and share buyback capabilities of larger companies, Wren said, "We continue to favor large- and mid-capitalization equities over small-cap."
Additionally, Wells Fargo favors the energy sector and holds favorable ratings on Information Technology, Financials, and Communication Services, according to Wren, who explained, "We believe these sectors feature long-term growth drivers and robust balance sheets. We suggest investors put funds to work in these sectors at current market levels. In our view, the pullback in stocks offers long-term investors an attractive entry point."
After Trump blasted Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in a Truth Social post on Monday and said that "Powell's termination can't come quickly enough,&#8221; during a Tuesday press conference, he changed his tone, saying, "I have no intention of firing him".
&#8220;Essentially, if there is a recession, President Trump will likely blame Fed Chairman Powell for failing to cut key interest rates fast enough,&#8221; said Louis Navellier of Navellier and Associates.
Talking about the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Trump&#8217;s policies, Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said, &#8220;Trump's Tariff Turmoil has put the world on edge. A new world order may be the ultimate result, but for now we've got the New World Disorder, leaving everyone scrambling to adjust to Trump's unpredictable policy pivots. The economic fallout is uncertain. The uncertainty is keeping Wall Street on edge.&#8221;

Trump Softens On Tariffs — Stock Futures Rise, Nikkei Opens Higher, Dollar Still Under Pressure

Government health agencies are pushing forward an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/hhs-fda-phase-out-petroleum-based-synthetic-dyes-nations-food-supply" rel="noreferrer noopener">overhaul of food additive rules</a> to remove petroleum-based artificial dyes from products sold in the U.S.
The effort, revealed on Wednesday, falls under health secretary&nbsp;Robert F. Kennedy Jr's larger "Make America Healthy Again" plan, which seeks to boost national health by tightening dietary guidelines.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services introduced a roadmap outlining the shift toward plant-based food colorings across the industry.

"For too long, some food producers have been feeding Americans petroleum-based chemicals without their knowledge or consent," said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
"These poisonous compounds offer no nutritional benefit and pose real, measurable dangers to our children's health and development. That era is coming to an end.
As part of the plan, approvals for two synthetic dyes, Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B, will be rescinded in the coming months.
Regulators are coordinating with manufacturers to eliminate six commonly used food colorings: FD&amp;C Red No. 40, FD&amp;C Yellow Nos. 5 and 6, FD&amp;C Green No. 3, and FD&amp;C Blue Nos. 1 and 2 by the end of next year.
The FDA also encouraged companies to retire FD&amp;C Red No. 3 ahead of the current 2027-2028 target. To support a seamless shift, the agency intends to authorize four new naturally derived color additives in the near future.
It is also speeding up the evaluation process for substitutes such as butterfly pea flower extract, Galdieria blue, gardenia blue, and calcium phosphate. In addition, updated regulatory guidelines are being developed to assist manufacturers in meeting the new requirements.
In collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the FDA will undertake a broad research effort to assess how food dyes influence children's development and well-being.
