Filippo Falorni has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including PepsiCo’s recent financial performance and strategic outlook. Despite a muted organic sales growth in the third quarter of 2025, PepsiCo managed to exceed earnings per share expectations, largely due to favorable foreign exchange conditions. The company has expressed confidence in accelerating its topline growth in the fourth quarter, particularly in international markets and through improvements in its North American operations.
Furthermore, PepsiCo is focused on enhancing its product offerings and expanding its presence in international markets, which are expected to drive future growth. The company’s ongoing productivity initiatives, such as cost structure optimization and technological advancements, are also expected to contribute positively. Given its current valuation, which is lower than historical averages, and its potential for growth, Falorni sees PepsiCo as an attractive investment opportunity.
