Mixed analyst views weigh on PepsiCo

Watch: PepsiCo's April 16, 2026 earnings release will provide clarity on growth initiatives and margin pressures amid cost challenges.

Full analysis

PepsiCo faces mixed analyst ratings in April 2026 with JPMorgan cutting its price target to $172 from $176 and lowering full-year EPS estimate to $8.54 from $8.64 while maintaining an Overweight rating. RBC Capital lowered its target to $163 with a Sector Perform rating. Jim Cramer is bullish, praising management and a 3.5% dividend yield. Barclays kept an Equal-Weight stance. Analyst EPS estimates show minor downward revisions amid stable sales growth.

Consensus uncertainty on growth and earnings targets signals cautious investor sentiment despite management confidence and strong dividend yield, limiting upside potential near $170 mean target.
