PEPB34 trade ideas
$122 incoming?Pepsi continues to look bearish. But as rates will likely come down towards the end of the year, the safer dividend plays become more attractive. Pepsi offers an attractive dividend yield and is considered a safe business to park money into.
The chart suggests we will head towards the $122 level where there is a confluence of support. I'll patiently wait for a reaction at this level before jumping into the trade.

$PEP $150 retest Hi, liking NASDAQ:PEP here for a retest of mental price $150. NASDAQ:PEP is at 4 year lows, was at four year lows and bounced twice off $141 zone. Short term $150c could be a play here for April expiration but also could be patient and see if it retests the supply zone of $140. This is on watch. Just acquired Poppi brand as well. Overall it could be forming a rising wedge, not definitive on that thesis just yet, though.

PepsiCo: A Dividend King at a Discount – Time to Buy?PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP)
- Sector: Consumer Defensive
- What It Does: Produces beverages and snacks, like Pepsi, Frito-Lay, and Quaker products.
Fundamental metrics
- Dividend Yield: ~3.5%
- Payout Ratio: 67.8%
- 5-Year Dividend Growth Rate: 7.2%
- Debt-to-Equity Ratio: 2.05
- Return on Equity (ROE): 50.8%
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio: 18.9
- Price-to-Book (P/B) Ratio: 11.6
- Analyst Average Price Target: $167.00
- Consecutive Years of Dividend Increases: 53
--------------------------
Technical Factors
The stock is currently experiencing its largest correction since the COVID flash crash, with the last major downturn occurring during the 2008 financial crisis. In such a rare scenario, it's worth considering adding one of the top Dividend Kings to your portfolio.
These companies, with a track record of increasing dividends for 50 consecutive years, tend to be financially stable and reliable, making them an attractive option during market corrections. Their consistent dividend payouts offer a solid income stream, providing a level of security in uncertain times.
Criteria:
- Mid-round number at $150, acting as a psychological level
- Channel projection from the top, aligning with the price structure
- Equal waves from the top, suggesting symmetry in the correction
- Previous resistance levels turning into support, reinforcing the zone
- A key trendline inside the marked box, the last missing touch
The price has already met most of these criteria, except for the trendline, and it has rejected upwards twice from this zone. That’s why this level presents a solid long-term opportunity to consider an entry from current levels.
Make sure to conduct your own fundamental research to ensure the investment aligns with your investment thesis. While I can provide a technical "green light," it’s crucial to confirm that it also fits with the underlying fundamentals.

PepsiCo (PEP) – A Strong Long Setup for 2025📈 Ticker: PEP
📊 Timeframe: Swing trade (3-6 months)
🎯 Target Price: $190 - $200
⏳ Entry Zone: $160 - $165
🛑 Stop Loss: $148
🔹 Thesis for the Long Trade
PepsiCo (PEP) is a defensive consumer staple stock with strong brand power, consistent revenue growth, and a resilient business model. As market volatility increases due to macroeconomic concerns, investors tend to rotate into high-quality dividend-paying stocks like PEP.
Despite some near-term pressure from inflation and shifting consumer preferences, PepsiCo’s diversified portfolio (beverages & snacks) and global expansion efforts continue to support long-term growth.
Campaign trading Pepsico back to $180PepsiCo has made significant efforts to improve the health profile of its products. Here are some key points:
Reduced Added Sugars: PepsiCo has been working to reduce added sugars in its beverages. By 2025, they aim for at least 67% of their beverage portfolio to not exceed 100 calories from added sugars per 12-ounce serving.
Lower Sodium and Saturated Fat: They have also set goals to reduce sodium and saturated fat in their convenient foods. By 2025, they aim for 75% of their convenient foods portfolio to not exceed 1.3 milligrams of sodium per calorie and 1.1 grams of saturated fat per 100 calories.
Diverse Ingredients: PepsiCo is working to include more diverse ingredients like whole grains, plant-based proteins, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds in their products. Their goal is to deliver 145 billion portions of these diverse ingredients annually by 2030.
Nutrition Science: PepsiCo's Health & Nutrition Sciences team focuses on understanding and translating nutrition science to support healthier choices.
PepsiCo: Strong ReactionThe Pepsi stock recently showed a strong reaction to the support at $141.52, reinforcing the significance of this level. However, we primarily anticipate that this level will be breached next. During the ongoing magenta wave (5), the price should drop into our beige Target Zone (coordinates: $131.12 – $124.50), which presents potential long-entry opportunities. We primarily expect the beige wave a to conclude within this Zone. But if the stock instead breaks above the resistance at $165.13 (probability: 31%), this will confirm that the low of the beige wave alt.a was settled prematurely.
PEPSI: That's what i like! Pepsico reported earnings on Feb 4.
Earnings per share: $1.96 adjusted vs. $1.94 expected
Revenue: $27.78 billion vs. $27.89 billion expected
For 2025, Pepsi is projecting a low-single-digit increase in its organic revenue and a mid-single-digit rise in its core constant currency earnings per share.
The company also announced a 5% increase in its annualized dividend to $5.69 per share from $5.42 per share. This marked the company's 53rd consecutive annual dividend increase!
Current valuations undemanding...
Forward pe ratio of 17.01 is lower than its 3Y average of 26.15
Forward pe ratio of 17.01 is lower than its 5Y average of 26.51
2 weeks since the results, the share price has remained rangebound while the oscillator has started moving higher, giving a signal of bullish divergence.
Bounce Off Floor for Pepsico. PEPThis is a second bounce post completion of a fairly obvious downward five wave impulse. Usually, when this happens more than twice, price action turns around and goes the other way. Despite lagging, the VZO/StochRSI combo both produced signals. vWAP and Ehlers Ultimate Smoother are both supportive.
PEPSIIII - Long Term Super Over Sold ConditionsThis play does not make the much sense to me via a fundamental perspective regarding the economic outlook of companies like PEPSI, Coke and $KO. But, from an investment standpoint, they control the food/drink market and have seen stagnant numbers and low growth regarding there products. Our new leader RFK Jr. in the food industry might start a complete overhaul of the products forcing these companies to rethink there targeted audiences/ marketing campaigns and adapt to this generations pallet.
Short term it needs to build more structure and a foundation, on the other hand watch out for a V shaped reversal in the coming weeks.
Target #1 - $155
Target #2 - $160
Target #3 - $170
Stop Loss - $140
Stay tuned for option position longs, I will personally be investing money in them as well.
PEPSICO READY FOR START...1. Technical Trends and Patterns
The price is testing a support area with a double bottom around 141-143 USD. This is a bullish pattern that signals a possible trend reversal.
There is a falling wedge, another figure that usually anticipates a bullish breakout.
The main resistance to overcome is around 153-155 USD, which coincides with a bearish trendline.
The Bollinger Bands are showing a contraction, suggesting that the price could explode in one direction (probably up, given the formation of the double bottom).
The previous resistance areas are at 170-175 USD, so if the breakout occurs, it could push up to those levels.
2. Technical Indicators
MACD: The histogram shows a weakness in the bearish trend, with the moving averages that are looking for a bullish crossover. A positive signal is confirmed.
RSI: Currently around 45, suggesting that the stock is close to the oversold zone, increasing the likelihood of a bounce.
Volume: Volume is slightly increasing at the second low, which could indicate accumulation by investors.
3. Possible Scenarios
Bullish (Bullish Scenario): If it breaks the bearish trendline and resistance around $153-$155, the stock could have a move towards $165-$170.
Bearish (Bearish Scenario): If it breaks the double bottom support at $141, it could fall to the next support area at $135.
Conclusion
The chart shows signs of a possible bullish reversal, but it is essential to see a confirmation above $153-$155. If volumes continue to increase and the MACD confirms a bullish crossover, they participate in a price recovery. Conversely, if the support is broken, there is a risk of a continuation of the bearish trend.
