#4 - PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP)

It’s been a roller coaster ride for PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) in 2022. The stock is basically flat but the consensus opinion of analysts is that PEP stock has a 4% upside. And the analyst firm Barclays recently maintained its overweight rating on the stock with a price target of $183.

There are expectations for a “profit recession” and analysts adjusting their prices down. So the fact that analysts are raising their price targets and maintaining a buy rating shouldn’t be overlooked. Plus, the company is a recognized leader in the beverages industry. And, unlike some of its rivals, PepsiCo generates significant revenue from its Frito-Lay division.

In a recession, there are many things that consumers will do without. But their salty snacks and sugary drinks will generally not be among them.
