Exxon Mobil enters September 2025 with shares near $112.14 and a defensive profile underpinned by integrated operations, steady cash generation, and a commitment to dividends. Trailing 12-month revenue is $329.82 billion with a 9.40% profit margin and 11.73% operating margin, though quarterly revenue and earnings declined year over year (−12.30% and −23.40%, respectively). Operating cash flow of $54.3 billion and levered free cash flow of $20.75 billion support a forward dividend yield of 3.52% with a 55.68% payout ratio. The stock trades close to its 50- and 200-day moving averages (110.42 and 109.67) and carries a 0.55 beta. Recent coverage cites a $125.00 consensus price target, implying potential upside versus the latest close. Against this mixed backdrop, our three-year outlook weighs cash flow durability, capital returns, and macro sensitivity to chart plausible paths for the shares.

PepsiCo (PEP) enters September 2025 with a defensible snacks-and-beverages portfolio, a low beta profile, and a share price that has lagged the S&P 500 over the past year. The company delivers $91.75B in trailing revenue with 17.49% operating margin and continues to prioritize its dividend, offering a forward yield of 3.99% on a 5.69 annual rate. Near-term debates center on whether gross margin recovery can offset softer volumes and whether a near-100% payout ratio is sustainable while debt remains elevated. With quarterly revenue up 1.00% year over year but quarterly earnings down sharply, investors are weighing execution against resilience. This three-year outlook frames what could drive a rerating: pricing discipline, mix upgrades, productivity savings, balance-sheet repair, and the cadence of product innovation across zero-sugar sodas, energy, and global snacks.
