Pepsi

We chose to buy Pepsi stock over CocaCola because it is the owner of several products that are valued by many. The percent change shown in the graphs show thats Pepsi is able to maintain a steady Net income and Sale Income that typically increases. Their day low is $99.63 and their Day High is $100.81. With Net incomes from 2012-2014 being in the 6 billions, rising close to 7 billion today. This is most likely because Pepsi holds many more products compared to Coca-Cola and introduces new captivating products often. Even though they are slightly under Coca Cola's Net income, their Net Income seems to be rising while Coke's Net Income is dropping from 9 Billion in 2010 to 7 Billion in 2014. On the contrary, Pepsi is rising in all aspects and coming close to over coming Coca Cola's Market Capital. Their commercials around the time of January and especially during the Super Bowl takes the world by storm. Their commercials even won a 1 million dollar grand prize. In addition, PepsiCo Inc. said late Thursday it will pay its dividend of 70.25 cents a share on Jan. 7 to shareholders of record on Dec. 4. That is 7.3% more than what the company paid in the same period a year ago. Pepsi expects to return $9 billion in dividends and share buybacks this year. Shares of PepsiCo rose 0.1% in late trading Thursday after ending the regular session up 0.7%

UPS

We will be investing in UPS because it has showed greater growth than its competitor Fedex, who has experienced significant loses over the last year. With a percent change of -15.187% from the last six months and -14.655% from the last year, Fedex is not a very appealing company, nor one that seems worth an investment. Furthermore, with a beta of 1.195 as opposed to UPS's 0.98, Fedex is a riskier company to invest in. While a higher risk does potentially spell a higher reward, we do not believe it is a smart risk in this scenario. Recently, the company has experienced a dramatic and somewhat unexpected surge in online orders for the holiday season. This has the potential to cause trouble for UPS, not being able to deliver all packages on time. However, we believe that the company will be able to pull through due to the fact that they have recently increased their shipping fees. As orders have clearly not fallen despite this recent rise in price, we think that the company will be able to effectively allocate the newly earned money and make it through the holiday season delivering almost all orders on time. All of these factors lead us to believe that UPS will be a much better company to invest in.

Profit in the international segment grew 10% to $507 million, helped by network improvements and export volume growth. With the holiday season approaching, the company is working to keep its expenses in check. UPS has spent about $200 million more than it expected the last two years, first as its network was swamped with unexpected packages in 2013, and then as packages spiked around Thanksgiving and Christmas last year and left the network underused in between. With this news it seems as if UPS may be in trouble in the future facing a drop in income because of the unexpected amount of money spent, thus causing a potential drop in stock prices.

UPS this month upped its fuel surcharge and its oversize package fee, effective Nov. 2. It’s the latest attempt by the delivery giant to ensure what it feels is proper. This is probably in the effort to make sure it's funds support the cost it takes to ship and send packages. This could lead customers to using a different shipping company because of higher prices. If this is the case, sales income will drop thus potentially dropping the stock price as well.

Since the Trees for Troops program launched in 2005, FedEx has shipped more than 157,000 real Christmas trees to service members and their families—covering every branch of the military at more than 65 bases in 17 countries. With the Holidays coming right around the corner, Fedex is sure to hit an all time high this year. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 26, 2015—FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) predicts it will move a record-breaking 317 million shipments between Black Friday and Christmas Eve. This is good for the company to show that they are giving back to troops and will also most likely lead to an increase in the company's stock price

FedEx recognizes that disasters dramatically alter lives and shatter communities. They extended their sympathies to those recently impacted on the Eastern U.S. Coast by severe flooding and Hurricanes. Since those disasters, Fedex has transported three pallets containing about 1,000 hygiene kits with supplies such as shampoo/conditioner, toothbrush and toothpaste, disposable razors, soap, lotion and more. Fedex does a lot to give back to those in need. These actions of aiding those in need helps present Fedex as a generous company; this may lead some to become interested in their stock and potentially invest.

PepsiCo Sustainability Initiatives Delivered More Than $375 Million in Estimated Cost Savings Since 2010

Environmental sustainability programs saved the company hundreds of millions of dollars. Through progress of the company's water, energy, packaging and waste-reduction initiatives, Pepsi was able to achieve this booming cost savings. This will help the company to keep this money for lows in the economy or to put towards other parts of the company, thus decreasing the potential risk of the stock (if the economy takes a nose dive Pepsi's stock may not hurt as much).
