About PepsiCo, Inc.
PepsiCo earns roughly half its revenue from Frito-Lay snacks (Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos) and the rest from beverages (Pepsi, Gatorade, Mountain Dew). Dividend King with ~3.6% yield and low beta (~0.5). Premiums are thin but reliable; GLP-1 drug fears and FX headwinds create periodic put-selling entry points.

⚠️ Earnings imminent — high assignment risk

PEP — the structural read is overridden by earnings on 2026-10-08 (1 day). Premium runs richer because the announcement carries gap risk that strike distance cannot absorb, not because the option is mispriced.

Calculator assumptions

Cash-secured puts require holding cash equal to strike × 100 shares as collateral. Strike defaults to ~5% OTM, snapped to typical exchange increments. Premium defaults to ~2% of strike — adjust to your real expected fill. Annualized ROC = (premium ÷ collateral) × (365 ÷ DTE). CSP risk is single-name concentration: experienced put-sellers typically diversify across 4–6 underlyings rather than committing the whole account to one ticker. Continuous-rolling projections assume capital can be re-deployed after each expiration and that comparable premiums remain available — actual results vary with market conditions, assignments, and rolls.
