Peltz Pepsi Comments Did Little for Staples ETFs

Peltz thinks his plan gets the stock to more than $140 a share in 2015, and that Pepsi will be worth only $105 under the current way of doing business, according to Forbes. Pepsi at $140 represents massive upside from Wednesday’s close of almost $85.25. Should Peltz get his way, both XLP and VDC would benefit, but a slight edge goes to VDC because that ETF allocated an almost combined 10% to Pepsi and Mondelez at the end of the first quarter.
