While competition has always been stiff in the beverage market for Pepsi, the pressure coming primarily from Coca Cola (KO), the company has managed to persist and expand into other markets that its competitors have little foothold in. Pepsi�� fourth quarter report showed both success and disappointment but the company still has a strong foundation and solid business strategy suitably adapted for the changing markets.
Fourth quarter results and what�� in store for the coming year
Pepsi released a mixed report for its fourth fiscal quarter of 2013. While the company�� profits rose from $1.06 per share in 2012 to $1.12 per share this past year, its core earnings fell slightly at the same time. And although revenue rose by 3% in its snack and food division, revenue from beverages fell by 1.6%. All in all, the company did manage to surpass analyst�� estimates but not by all that much and not in every area with which investors are concerned.
Despite mixed results at the end of 2013, investors can still expect to benefit from owning stock in Pepsi. After the release of its fourth quarter report, the company announced that it will boost payouts through a combined process of buying back shares and increasing dividends. Furthermore, with dividend yields already at 2.90% before the planned increase, it had already been inching toward the higher end of the spectrum in that regard.

Fomento Economico Mexicano (FMX), better known as FEMSA, isn't another ascending triangle trade this week, unfortunately for shareholders. Instead, FEMSA is currently forming the bearish opposite of the pattern in Wells Fargo and Citi: a descending triangle.
The descending triangle is formed by downtrending resistance above shares and a horizontal support level to the downside. In this case, that price floor comes in just below $90. The lower highs that form resistance in FMX signal that buying pressure is waning above the $100 level as long-suffering sellers opt to take gains near the high-end of this stock's recent range. Once that glut of demand at $90 gets taken out, a lot more downside looks likely for FMX.
But now, MTB is forming a rounding bottom, a bullish setup that indicates a gradual shift in control of shares from sellers to buyers. The rounding bottom pattern looks exactly like it sounds, and even though MTB's pattern is actually at the top of its recent range, the trading implications are exactly the same. A breakout above $118 is the signal that the pattern is completed and it's time to be a buyer.
With high short interest in MTB right now, a short squeeze could add some fuel to the fire on a breakout. Support looks reasonably strong at $110 -- that's the spot to keep your stop.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Achilles Research]
In terms of market valuation, the beverage sector really is not that cheap. Considering that Pepsico trades at 16x forward FCFE and Coca-Cola at 17x, it should not be surprising that the individual P/E ratios are equally high: Pepsico trades at the largest peer group P/E of 16.88, while Coca-Cola trades at 16.43. Dr. Pepper Snapple (DPS) is the cheapest of the industry, at 13.26 times forward earnings. All companies are great companies with top-notch product portfolios, but trade at premium valuations. Investors pay a hefty markup, which restricts equity valuation growth from the outset and makes multiple expansion unlikely.

Changing consumer habits are influenced by other beverage options
Dwindling diet soda sales are bad news for PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP ) and its competitors Coca-Cola� (NYSE: KO ) and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (NYSE: DPS ) , which derive a quarter or more of their U.S. sales from soft drinks. In the third-quarter earnings call, PepsiCo chairman Indra Nooyi noted that "a fundamental shift in consumer habits and behaviors" is taking place within the beverage segment. In addition to the artificial sweetener issue, more beverage options have become available and this has played a major part in the loss of consumer interest in diet sodas. - [By Patricio Kehoe]
The first on the list is The Coca-Cola Company (KO), in which Citadel disclosed a $267 million stake with over 6.46 million shares. The Coca-Cola Company is the best global brand (in terms of brand equity) and the world麓s largest producer of soft drinks. The company sells products in more than 200 countries and owns or licenses more than 500 brands. It operates in a highly competitive industry with PepsiCo (PEP), Nestle (NSRGY), Groupe Danone (GPDNF), Kraft Foods (KRFT) and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (DPS). Due to this, the firm's strategy is to use its brands and financial strength to achieve long-term growth. Additionally, it has created an extensive and well-organized global distribution system, which cannot be replicated by any of its competitors at least at a reasonable cost. It has a proven commitment to returning cash to investors, with a current dividend yield of 2.94% which is considered quite good to protect investors' purchasing power.
