For conservative anti-cyclical investors seeking annual returns in the 8-12% range, PepsiCo PEP is becoming very interesting
Bollinger Bands & RSI Signal (chart 1): Late last week, the stock generated my favorite oversold signal at the weekly level
My personal Accumulation Strategy in three tranches: - First Tranche: Buy at $144 - Second Tranche: Buy at $136 if price dips further - Third Tranche: Consider buying at $132, supported by 2021 Order Block (Chart 2)
- Potential Crash Scenario: If a market crash occurs, I will buy at ~$110 for final position completion
Fundamental Insights (Chart 3): - Current earnings yield: 4.7%; Dividend yield: 3.7% - Dividend growth rate over last decade: 7.5% per year - PE ratio around 21, low since the Rona crash
Reasons Recent Price Decline: - Inflation impact: Consumers switching to cheaper alternatives - USD Strength: Diminishing international profits - Rising US Government Bond Yields: Competing with dividend stocks, though TLT at 2007 Order Block support suggests possible reversal (Chart 4)
-> Political Influence: - Trump's stance: High interest rates and inflation, aiming to address these issues could weaken USD, benefiting PepsiCo
Conclusion: PepsiCo presents a compelling choice for steady, anti-cyclical investments, with technical support, dividend growth, and potential economic policy shifts
