PepsiCo stock (NASDAQ: PEP) is up 2% in just the last one week, outperforming the S&P 500 which was flat. If you look at the change over the last ten days and one month, the stock has returned 3.7% and 2%, thus having outperformed the market on both occasions. PEP stock was up in the last week following an upgrade in its full year outlook. In its recently released Q3 2021 report, the company’s organic sales grew 9% during the quarter, faster than the growth achieved in the first six months of the year. PepsiCo saw high volume growth in most of its international markets while the U.S. snack food vertical got a lift from higher prices. What got the markets enthused was that this was the second straight upgrade to the company’s 2021 forecast. Organic sales are now expected to grow at 8% in 2021. To put things in perspective, the company started the year predicting 5% growth which was boosted to 6% in July 2021. The earnings outlook also got a hike with earnings expected to jump 11% overall.
