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.

PEP — momentum sits at an inflection. Historically, a few sessions of confirmation has cost less premium than entry against a turn that resolves the other way.

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.
