PepsiCo (PEP)

TotalReturn:

'Total return is the amount of value an investor earns from a security over a specific period, typically one year, when all distributions are reinvested. Total return is expressed as a percentage of the amount invested. For example, a total return of 20% means the security increased by 20% of its original value due to a price increase, distribution of dividends (if a stock), coupons (if a bond) or capital gains (if a fund). Total return is a strong measure of an investment’s overall performance.'

• The total return over 5 years of PepsiCo is 48.6%, which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (143%) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (39%) in the period of the last 3 years, the total return of 5.3% is lower, thus worse.

CAGR:

'The compound annual growth rate isn't a true return rate, but rather a representational figure. It is essentially a number that describes the rate at which an investment would have grown if it had grown the same rate every year and the profits were reinvested at the end of each year. In reality, this sort of performance is unlikely. However, CAGR can be used to smooth returns so that they may be more easily understood when compared to alternative investments.'

• Looking at the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% in the last 5 years of PepsiCo, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (19.5%)
• During the last 3 years, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) is 1.7%, which is lower, thus worse than the value of 11.7% from the benchmark.

Volatility:

'Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can either be measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. In the securities markets, volatility is often associated with big swings in either direction. For example, when the stock market rises and falls more than one percent over a sustained period of time, it is called a 'volatile' market.'

• Looking at the volatility of 21.3% in the last 5 years of PepsiCo, we see it is relatively larger, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (19.6%)
• Compared with SPY (17.1%) in the period of the last 3 years, the volatility of 17.6% is larger, thus worse.

DownVol:

'The downside volatility is similar to the volatility, or standard deviation, but only takes losing/negative periods into account.'

• The downside volatility over 5 years of PepsiCo is 14.7%, which is larger, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (13.5%) in the same period.
• During the last 3 years, the downside risk is 12.8%, which is greater, thus worse than the value of 12% from the benchmark.

Sharpe:

'The Sharpe ratio (also known as the Sharpe index, the Sharpe measure, and the reward-to-variability ratio) is a way to examine the performance of an investment by adjusting for its risk. The ratio measures the excess return (or risk premium) per unit of deviation in an investment asset or a trading strategy, typically referred to as risk, named after William F. Sharpe.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (0.87) in the period of the last 5 years, the ratio of return and volatility (Sharpe) of 0.27 of PepsiCo is smaller, thus worse.
• Looking at risk / return profile (Sharpe) in of -0.04 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to SPY (0.54).

Sortino:

'The Sortino ratio measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment asset, portfolio, or strategy. It is a modification of the Sharpe ratio but penalizes only those returns falling below a user-specified target or required rate of return, while the Sharpe ratio penalizes both upside and downside volatility equally. Though both ratios measure an investment's risk-adjusted return, they do so in significantly different ways that will frequently lead to differing conclusions as to the true nature of the investment's return-generating efficiency. The Sortino ratio is used as a way to compare the risk-adjusted performance of programs with differing risk and return profiles. In general, risk-adjusted returns seek to normalize the risk across programs and then see which has the higher return unit per risk.'

• The ratio of annual return and downside deviation over 5 years of PepsiCo is 0.39, which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (1.26) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (0.77) in the period of the last 3 years, the downside risk / excess return profile of -0.06 is smaller, thus worse.

Ulcer:

'The Ulcer Index is a technical indicator that measures downside risk, in terms of both the depth and duration of price declines. The index increases in value as the price moves farther away from a recent high and falls as the price rises to new highs. The indicator is usually calculated over a 14-day period, with the Ulcer Index showing the percentage drawdown a trader can expect from the high over that period. The greater the value of the Ulcer Index, the longer it takes for a stock to get back to the former high.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (8.32 ) in the period of the last 5 years, the Ulcer Ratio of 8.07 of PepsiCo is lower, thus better.
• Looking at Downside risk index in of 9.81 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (8.6 ).

MaxDD:

'A maximum drawdown is the maximum loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum Drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period. It can be used both as a stand-alone measure or as an input into other metrics such as 'Return over Maximum Drawdown' and the Calmar Ratio. Maximum Drawdown is expressed in percentage terms.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (-24.5 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum reduction from previous high of -23.3 days of PepsiCo is higher, thus better.
• Compared with SPY (-22.1 days) in the period of the last 3 years, the maximum DrawDown of -23.3 days is smaller, thus worse.

MaxDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Max Drawdown Duration is the worst (the maximum/longest) amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs) in days.'

• The maximum days under water over 5 years of PepsiCo is 458 days, which is lower, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (488 days) in the same period.
• During the last 3 years, the maximum time in days below previous high water mark is 458 days, which is greater, thus worse than the value of 325 days from the benchmark.

AveDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'

• Looking at the average time in days below previous high water mark of 107 days in the last 5 years of PepsiCo, we see it is relatively smaller, thus better in comparison to the benchmark SPY (118 days)
• Looking at average days below previous high in of 158 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively greater, thus worse in comparison to SPY (90 days).
