		<description><![CDATA[Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE) posted first quarter 2012 adjusted earnings (excluding the impact of restructuring charges and mark-to-market commodity hedges) of 36 cents per share. The result exceeded both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the prior-year quarter earnings of 33 cents per share. The results were driven by an improved top line. Quarterly Details During the quarter, Coca-Cola Enterprises&#8217; sales increased 2.5% to $1.868 billion on a currency neutral basis, excluding the impact of the French excise tax increase. Sales were almost in line with the Zacks Consensus Revenue Estimate of $1.862 billion. Including the impact of the excise tax increase in France, volumes declined 0.5% in the quarter, partially offset by favorable operating conditions in the quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector carried out their traditional defensive role as the broader equity markets came under pressure over concerns about the prolonged weak US economy and the debt crisis in Europe. But the group has been a laggard as momentum returned to the market over the last three months. In 2011, the sector index grew 10.5% versus a flat finish for the S&#38;P 500 index. The group’s defensive attributes stem from its ability to buck sluggish economic growth as food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies that manufacture and market non-durable consumables are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Although staples’ top-line is expected to continue the uptrend of the last few quarters going forward, margins will remain under ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have maintained a Neutral rating on Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (DPS) following appraisal of fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011 results. Dr Pepper reported fourth-quarter 2011 earnings of 82 cents per share, up 22.4% from the year-ago earnings of 67 cents per share. The company’s quarterly earnings also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 74 cents per share. During the quarter, Dr Pepper&#8217;s net sales grew 3% year over year (4% excluding the impact of foreign exchange) to $1.46 billion and also swept past the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.45 billion. The year-on-year growth was mainly attributable to price increases and a favorable mix. The company entered into priority brand agreements with cola giants PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) and The Coca Cola Company (KO) in 2010. These initiatives also ]]></description>

Many large and significant companies will be reporting.  They include Cisco (CSCO), CVS (CVS), Disney (DIS), Humana (HUM), Coca-Cola  (KO), PepsiCo (PEP), Time Warner (TWX) and Yum Brands (YUM). Unlike last week, it will be a relatively quiet week for economic data.  We will get the Job Opening and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which will provide some more detail to the December jobs picture.  We will also find out if Consumer Credit (not including mortgages) expanded in December.  The only other reports of significance, other ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rating agency, Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services (“S&#38;P”) has upgraded its ratings outlook on The Coca Cola Company (KO) on the back of the company’s strong operations and credit quality. Despite the prevailing market turmoil, S&#38;P has revised Coca Cola’s outlook to “positive” from “stable” and reiterated &#8220;A+&#8221; long-term corporate credit and &#8220;A-1&#8243; short-term corporate credit and commercial paper ratings. The ratings agency continues to expect robust performance from Coca Cola even in the uncertain economic environment. Coca Cola recently reported strong operating earnings of $1.03 per share in the third-quarter 2011, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. It was also higher than the year-ago EPS by 12%. The results were encouraged by strong growth outside the U.S. and in emerging markets. Coca Cola also sold ]]></description>

Second-Quarter 2011 Summary Dr Pepper Snapple reported second-quarter 2011 earnings of 77 cents per share compared with 74 cents per share in the year-ago period.

However, it fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,590.0 million.

We had a fairly disappointing start to this reporting cycle on Tuesday, but no one is reading too much into Alcoa&#8217;s (AA) results. We have a handful of reports today, but it is still early-going on the earnings front. By the end of next week, we should have a good idea of how this season is unfolding. It is heartening to see that the market is able to see through the Slovak parliamentary failure and wait instead for the release of bank recapitalization rules from Germany and France later this month. A successful plan for ring-fencing the European banking sector will go a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With nothing major on the economic calendar today, the market will likely repeat Tuesday&#8217;s performance and remain in a wait-and-see mode for the earnings season to unfold. We had a fairly disappointing start to this reporting cycle on Tuesday, but no one is reading too much into Alcoa&#8217;s (AA) results. We have a handful of reports today, but it is still early going on the earnings front. By the end of next week, we should have a good idea of how this season is unfolding.It is heartening to see that the market is able to see through the Slovak parliamentary failure and wait instead for the release of bank recapitalization rules from Germany and France later this month. A successful plan for ring-fencing the European banking sector will go a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We reaffirm our Neutral recommendation for The Coca-Cola Co. (KO) following the second quarter 2011 earnings of $1.17 per share, which exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. It also exceeded the prior-year quarter earnings of $1.06 and were ahead of the company’s long-term growth target. In both the current and the prior-year quarters, Coca-Cola was impacted by restructuring charges and costs related to global productivity initiatives as well as the acquisition of the North American operations of bottler Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc (CCE) in the third quarter of 2010. The North American segment was one of the largest contributors, accounting for over 30% to total revenue. However, it delivered sluggish volume trends for almost two years. Since the third quarter of 2010, it has started reporting positive volume growth, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Thursday, July 28, 2011 There’s a negative connotation of the U.S. dollar losing value to foreign currencies. It makes some sense since it lowers the American consumer’s purchasing power. However, it’s not all bad. There is a positive side to the dollar being lower in value, too. U.S. companies that export goods like a weak dollar. It means they can make goods relatively cheaply and collect more valuable currencies in exchange for their goods in other countries. This creates an inflow of money from other countries and hopefully spurs employment from increased demand… The Yuan vs. The Dollar Although the euro is also experiencing weakness due to turmoil with debt in Greece and other countries, it still gained 19 percent on the dollar over ]]></description>

There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go.

		<description><![CDATA[Pepsico Inc. (PEP) is determined to regain its lost position as the #2 US beverage in the world. Pepsi to meet this goal wants to go back to its roots and promote its flagship product Pepsi Cola once again.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, in the U.S., Pepsi-Cola and Diet Pepsi saw sales drop 4.8% and 5.2% last year, compared to Coca-Cola and Diet Coke’s modest slip of only 0.5% and 1%.

		<description><![CDATA[Going by Bloomberg, the leading global snack food and beverages company, PepsiCo Inc. (PEP), has entered into a new four-year unsecured revolving credit agreement with a consortium of world&#8217;s leading investment bankers for optimizing its capital structure. Citicorp (C), JPMorgan Chase &#38; Co. (JPM) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC) offering a sum of $325.0 million each emerged as the major contributor to the new $2.88 billion revolving credit line facility. However, PepsiCo may increase the size of the new credit facility by up to $3.5 billion based on its agreement with the lending institutions. The new credit facility will replace the company&#8217;s prior 364-days unsecured revolving credit facility of $2,575.0 million, entered on June 16, 2010. Under the agreement, the company was also permitted to request for the renewal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A volatile day of trading came to a close with benchmarks ending in the red and as it stands there are now clear signs of markets heading into a fifth consecutive week of losses. Investors refrained from betting big ahead of the crucial jobs report from the Labor Department, which will likely add to concerns about a slowing economy. Markets had initially garnered some gains, but these were soon washed out as investors remained worried about the jobs report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) had dropped 100 points in the mid-session but finally recovered to end at 12,248.55, dropping 41.59 points or 0.3%. The Dow is most likely en route to its fifth straight week of losses, the first time since July 23, 2004. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks in the Consumer Staples sector have traditionally performed better than the stock market, and especially cyclical companies, during market declines. We are seeing evidence of this at present &#8212; consumer staple stocks have started shining again as concerns about the economy’s growth momentum have taken center stage. The fundamental explanation for this behavior is that food, beverage, household products and cosmetics companies manufacture and market brand name consumable products, most of which are considered essential to daily life, such as food, drink, toothpaste, deodorants, toilet paper, etc. Since product demand is relatively stable, the companies generally report earnings in line with expectations. Beverage companies, however, are able to grow faster at the high single-digit to low double-digit rate given growing penetration rates. But, cosmetics companies can grow earnings a ]]></description>

During the quarter, Dr Pepper&#8217;s net sales grew 7.0% year over year to $1,331.0 million, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,308.0 million. The year-on-year growth was mainly attributable to higher sales volume, low single-digit price increases, favorable foreign currency translations and revenues from the PepsiCo Inc.

On February 26, 2010, Dr Pepper signed a licensing deal with PepsiCo under which the latter will distribute Dr Pepper, Crush and Schweppes brands in the U.S. Dr Pepper received $900 million in cash from PepsiCo, which is being recorded as net ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The day&#8217;s major event is the sub-par GDP report for the first quarter, which came inline with expectations. We also have a disappointing Jobless Claims report this morning, reversing the gains that we have been seeing in this key report. These unfavorable reports will weigh on the market today, reversing the positive momentum of the last few days. U.S. economic growth momentum weakened significantly in the first quarter, producing a sub-par growth rate of 1.8%, inline with consensus growth expectations. The economy grew at a 3.1% pace in the fourth quarter and a 2.6% rate in the third quarter of 2010. While the headline number is disappointing, the first quarter slowdown likely resulted from temporary factors that are expected to reverse in the coming quarters. The key negatives were international ]]></description>

Though the President said he was not resigning, Mubarak will delegate powers to the Vice President. Earlier in the day markets fell after network equipment maker Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) projected a weak outlook. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day lower by 10.60 points to 12,229.29. The S&#38;P 500 gained 0.07% to close at 1,321.87. The Nasdaq rose 1.83 points to end the day at 2,790.45.

		<description><![CDATA[Weekly jobless claims have fallen below the 400,000 mark to 383,000 for the week ended February 5th &#8212; a dip of 36,000 and a big surprise from the 413,000 expected. It is also the lowest level since July 2008. The four-week moving average is down 15,000 to 431,500, and this figure averages in the exceptional volatility we&#8217;ve seen with these numbers lately. This further pushes the narrative that we have broken out of the &#8220;trading range&#8221; around 450,000 jobless claims we had been in throughout all of 2010. Many analysts &#8212; including Zacks Chief Market Strategist Dirk van Dijk, CFA &#8212; had been looking at the 400,000 number as a watershed level, at which point a meaningful amount of Americans are again finding work and helping the economy recover in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks advanced for a second straight day as better-than-anticipated retail sales and housing data continued to point toward economic strength. European Central Bank’s assertion that it would not abandon its plan to buy government bonds helped contain eurozone worries, helping stocks extend their gains. Financials led on the upside, after Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) raised its rating on the sector to “overweight,” saying an improving economy is helping U.S. banks’ operations. The upgrade sent Dow components Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM) up 3.5% and 1.16%, respectively. The Dow average, after its 250-point surge Wednesday, added another 107 points to its tally, marking its best two-day run since early July. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite index gained nearly 30 points, or 1.2%, to 2579.35. The widely tacked S&#38;P 500 index ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Alexander Green, Investment U’s Chief Investment Strategist Monday, November 8, 2010: Issue #1383 For months, U.S. public companies have sat on record piles of cash – more than $1.8 trillion. Now, many are finally putting it to work. But they’re not hiring more workers, building more factories, or paying down debt. Instead, they’re using the money to buy back their own shares. So far this year, companies have announced that they’ll purchase more than $273 billion of their own shares. That’s more than five times as much as last year, according to Birinyi Associates. Some economists argue that this money could be better put to work in job-generating activities that might produce economic growth. However, management’s first obligation is to shareholders, not economists or “the public.” And if your ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (DPS) reported third-quarter 2010 adjusted earnings of 64 cents per share, compared with 59 cents in the year-ago period. Quarterly earnings also topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents. During the quarter, Dr Pepper’s net sales grew 2% year over year to $1.46 billion, narrowly missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.47 billion. The year-on-year growth was mainly attributable to higher sales volume, favorable foreign currency translations and revenues from the PepsiCo Inc. (PEP) license. Earlier this year, Dr Pepper signed a 25-year licensing deal with PepsiCo under which the latter will distribute Dr Pepper, Crush and Schweppes brands in the U.S. Dr Pepper received $900 million in cash from PepsiCo, which is being recorded as net sales, proportionally over a period of 25 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Monday, October 18, 2010 At first glance, the food and drug industries have very little in common. One is a relatively slow and safe business, the other a high-risk, high-reward venture. Yet these days, they seem to be moving in a common direction… straight towards the clinical nutrition and nutraceuticals business. Broadly speaking, clinical nutrition and nutraceuticals offer a wide range of products. They make foodstuffs and non-prescription medications that slow or prevent illnesses. Basically, nutraceuticals take the fortified food market – worth an expected $175 billion worldwide this year – up to the next level. About five years ago, energy drinks mainstreamed the sector, but it still has a lot more to grow. Knowing that, who can blame multinational food companies and the ]]></description>

While they foretold the end of days, there are five new riders in town, with a new prophecy: There will be no double-dip recession. The market will rally. The economy will recover. The reason for the confidence? These five “horsemen” are riding on the backs of strong quarterly earnings reports. Ones that carry significant meaning for the economy and stock market. Here’s the deal… Five Windows into the Economic World Quarterly earnings season started a week ago – on October 7. During the first week of reports, five very important companies released their numbers: Alcoa, Inc (NYSE: AA), Pepsico, Inc (NYSE: PEP), CSX, Inc. (NYSE: CSX), Intel Corp.

		<description><![CDATA[Third-quarter earnings season will &#8220;officially&#8221; start next Thursday when Alcoa (AA) reports. Overall corporate profit growth should be good. Standard &#38; Poor&#8217;s predicts that per share operating earnings for the S&#38;P 500 will rise 31% this quarter on a year-over-year basis. Thomson Reuters calculates the consensus growth estimate as being slightly more conservative at 24%. Either way, this should be the fourth consecutive quarter of profit growth. Dirk van Dijk at Zacks.com is looking for a mid-single-digit increase in revenues. He also believes that widening net margins will have the biggest impact on profit growth. Van Dijk observes that financial companies should show the biggest year-over-year improvement in profitability, thanks to easy comparisons. The summer&#8217;s economic speed bump will likely be reflected in these numbers, though it&#8217;s worth noting that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pepsico Inc. (PEP) is scheduled to release its second-quarter 2010 results on Tuesday, July 20. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company is $1.09 a share. First Quarter Performance Pepsico Inc. reported strong first quarter results with earnings of 89 cents per share. This was well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 75 cents and up 23% year over year. Profits were driven by the acquisition of its two anchor bottlers, volume gains in its worldwide snacks and international beverage businesses, balanced investments and lower costs across its operations. Net sales for the quarter increased by 13.4% year over year to $9.4 billion. Gross margins for the quarter contracted 233 basis points (bps) to 52.4% versus 54.7% in the comparable prior-year quarter. The operating profit for the quarter also reduced ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Board of Directors of PepsiCo (PEP) raised the annual dividend by 7% to $1.92 per share from $1.82 earlier. This is the 38th consecutive annual increase in dividend. The dividend is expected to be payable on June 30, 2010 to shareholders on record as of June 4, 2010. The company’s strong balance sheet and its ability to generate healthy cash flow allow it to increase shareholder value through higher dividends. Cash in fiscal 2009 totaled $3.9 billion. The improvement was driven by better working capital management. The debt-to-capitalization ratio stood at 30%. Apart from increasing dividends, PepsiCo uses its financial strength to expand its business. The company continues to invest in product innovation and increased consumer marketing, thereby fueling strong sales for its brands, which offer consumers high quality ]]></description>

Although the exact value of the deal is not yet finalized, the transaction is expected to be valued at approximately $15 million Incorporatedluding debt. This move by Coca Cola follows a similar deal signed by its biggest rival PepsiCo (PEP), who aims to close the acquisition of its two biggest bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. (PBG) and Pepsi Americas Inc. this week. This deal was announced in August 2009. Once the deal is finalized, Coca Cola would buy the North American operations of Coca Cola Enterprises and some of the assets in Scandinavia and Germany.

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 2/5/10 While the bulk of earnings reports are in, there are still many to go, and next week we still have a heavy earnings calendar with a total or 462 firms scheduled to report. Some of the more noteworthy firms reporting are New York Times (NYT), Allstate (ALL), Walt Disney (DIS), Prudential (PRU) and Pepsico (PEP). Unlike the last two weeks, the economic data calendar is relatively light. Monday - No releases of note. Tuesday - Data on wholesale inventories is released. Normally this is not a big market mover, but given the outsized contribution that slower inventory destocking had in the fourth quarter GDP, this report might take on extra importance as it will point to which way the GDP numbers end up getting revised. In December, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. (PBG) reported fourth-quarter results before the opening bell on Tuesday. The company swung to a net income of $90 million from a net loss of $271 million in the year earlier quarter. Excluding certain special items, earnings per share came in at 59 cents, easily topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents derived from 8 covering analysts. The better-than-expected result was primarily attributable to management initiatives to control overheads coupled with the absence of impairment charges, which existed in the year-ago period. The company has a good record of beating earnings expectations as it has topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three out of previous four quarters with an average positive surprise of 30%, or 3 cents. The earnings beat in the fourth quarter ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research After a decade of global consolidation, beer brewers have greedily hit just about every notable location. Except Mexico, that is – the ninth-largest beer market in the world. But Mexican beverage and retail conglomerate Femsa – formerly known as Fomento Economico Mexicano (NYSE: FMX) – now faces the end of its 25-year Mexican duopoly with rival Grupo Modelo (PINK: GPMCY). Accepting the inevitable, Grupo Modelo will likely negotiate a full selloff to Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (NYSE: BUD) sometime in the near future (BUD already owns 50%). And that puts some very serious pressure on Femsa, which doesn’t stand a chance against an international powerhouse with billions to throw around on advertising every year. Trying to see the glass as half full, Femsa has begun ]]></description>

This was 6 cents above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03 and up 10.1% year-over-year. The strong results were driven by the company’s balanced approach towards product innovation and cost control measures. However, net sales for the quarter declined marginally by 1.5% year-over-year to $11.1 billion. The decline was attributable to negative sales in Latin America Foods – LAF (-9.6%), PepsiCo America Beverages – PAB (-9.1%) and Europe (-2%). This more than offset the growth in Frito-Lay North America – FLNA (+4.6%), Quaker Foods North America – QFNA (+6.9%), Middle East/Asia/Africa – MEAA (+8.6%) and PepsiCo International (+2.5%). The FLNA segment reported a 3% increase in volume and a 5% increase in revenue. Volume growth reflects ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT), a leading manufacturer and marketer of packaged food products and grocery products worldwide, on Monday, September 7, 2009 has offered a takeover bid for Cadbury (CBY) at a purchase price of $16.2 billion (£10.2 billion). The offer price represents a 31% premium over the closing price on Friday, September 4, 2009. Thereafter, shares of Cadbury jumped 41%. However, Cadbury has rejected the offer, claiming that the total offer price of $16.2 billion (£10.2 billion) amounted to a significant undervaluation, as it expects to receive a bid for as much as $21 billion. The other major contenders for Cadbury are The Hershey Company (HMC), Kellogg’s (K) and PepsiCo (PEP).

		<description><![CDATA[Coca-Cola Co. (KO) and its bottlers are planning to invest more than $5 billion in Mexico over the next five years. The investment is primarily targeted at developing infrastructure, technology, social and environmental programs, marketing, training and products with special emphasis on employment generation. The new investment is expected to revive Mexico’s economy, which is facing the brunt of the recession due to reduction in imports by the U.S., its primary trade partner. Further, a decrease in tourism due to the swine-flu epidemic has worsened the condition. Recently, Coca-Cola established a new plant for a juice company Jugos del Valle in Tepotzotlan , Mexico . The total investment for this plant amounted to $200 million, which is expected to generate employment opportunities for about 1,500 people. In addition, the plant ]]></description>
