As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on September 16, 2026.

PepsiCo closed at $134.34 on September 16, undercutting the prior 52-week low set on January 7 and reaching a level not traded in over a year. That January floor had held through months of volatility, including a summer run above $165.
With that support now broken, the stock enters territory where there are no recent buyers to provide a natural floor. Technical traders watch prior lows as reference points because concentrated buying around those prices tends to slow a decline; once those levels give way, the next area of support is less defined and often further away than investors expect.

Deterioration has been steady since the mid-year peak of $165.92, with each bounce failing to recover meaningful ground.
At a market cap of $183.5 billion, PepsiCo remains one of the largest consumer staples companies in the world, which makes the sustained selling pressure harder to dismiss as thin-volume noise. Investors will want to watch whether the stock finds footing at current levels or keeps sliding on elevated volume, which would point to broad-based selling.
