Analyst estimate revisions
| 30-day change | -0.1% |
|---|---|
| 90-day change | -1.8% |
| Forward EPS estimate | $8.98 |
Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect PEP to earn is drifting lower (-1.8%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.
A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). PEP earns its highest marks on FCF (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
