Global markets are experiencing intense volatility, and while it seemed like a Black Monday for Wall Street was inevitable following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40152271/mohamed-el-erian-grant-cardone-and-matt-weller-warn-of-deepening-global-market-selloff-as-yen-ri">13% overnight tumble of Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225, stock indices</a> are attempting to limit early session losses by midday trading in New York.
The inflection point came after July&#8217;s services sector activity surveys revealed improved conditions from June and a stronger-than-expected expansion, easing fears of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/08/40161832/us-services-activity-returns-to-growth-in-july-global-market-selloff-stalls-are-recession-fears-over">an imminent U.S. recession.</a>
In July, business sentiment in the U.S. services sector returned to expansion, with the ISM Services Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) rising from 48.8% to 51.4%, surpassing expectations of an increase to 51%.
Before the ISM data release, traders speculated on an intra-meeting Fed interest rate cut after Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee stated in a CNBC interview that everything could be on the table.
Following the data, market-implied probabilities for a 50-basis-point rate cut decreased from 100% to about 80%, while the likelihood of a smaller 25-basis-point increase rose from about 0% to 20%, according to the CME Group FedWatch Tool.
After opening over 4% lower at 5,120 points, the S&amp;P 500 slightly trimmed its losses to 5,233 by 12:30 p.m. in New York, marking a smaller 2.1% decline for the day.
Similar movements were observed in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, blue-chip stocks tracked by the Dow Jones and small-cap stocks.
As interest rate probabilities shifted, bonds halted their gains, and Treasury yields rose across all maturities. The 2-year Treasury yield traded 4 basis points higher at 3.92%, after having fallen to as low as 3.65% during early trading hours.
The popular iShares 20+Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) was unchanged, following seven straight sessions of gains. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) initially fell by 15% at 9:30 a.m. in New York, but then rallied by 10% between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., reducing its daily losses to 5.9%.
Commodities traded lower across the board, with gold and oil down 1.5% and 1.3%, respectively. Silver plunged nearly 5%, in its worst session in two months.

US Stocks Trim Black Monday's Drops As Services Gauge Expands, Bond Gains Stall As Traders Reassess Fed Cuts: What's Driving Markets?

The stock market is on track to gap-open sharply lower on Monday as negative sentiment seen in the final two sessions of last week has carried over into the new week. The index futures were all sharply lower, with the Nasdaq 100 down over 4% and volatility has spiked, with the CBOE Volatility Index, aka VIX, up over 100%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40152994/as-global-markets-roil-strategist-soothes-nerves-some-normal-action-under-the-surface-as-tech-got-wa">Asset classes plunged across the board</a> amid worries over a hard landing in the U.S., which in turn may have a cyclical effect on the rest of the global economies as well.
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (BRK-A) (BRK-B) disclosed that it trimmed its equity portfolio considerably, and instead chose to accumulate cash. This could potentially trigger fears among traders regarding the near-term outlook for the market. His firm sold nearly half of the Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares it held in its portfolio. A duo of service sector activity readings may also be in the spotlight.

Cues From Last Session:
Earnings and economic catalysts were the dynamics in play in the market in the week ended Aug. 2, with all three major averages plunging sharply for the week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite turned in the worst performance, with the mega-cap sell-off weighing on the index.
After showing apprehensions early in the week, stocks rose sharply on Wednesday, encouraged by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) positive earnings and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s insinuation of a rate cut in September through the tweaks in the post-meeting policy statement.
Selling set in on Thursday amid the release of weak manufacturing data and the jobless claims report that showed a spike in the number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits. The selling intensified on Friday amid disappointing tech earnings and worries about the health of the economy.
The Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 settled at their lowest in about two months, while the Dow slid to a one-month low. Small-caps, which were staging a nice recovery amid expectations of a Fed rate cut, pulled back sharply amid the deterioration in investor sentiment.

Insights From Analysts:
Weighing in on the premarket slump, CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer said investors may have been driven to the wall as they see the prospect of the Tokyo collapse of the 1980s recurring and were reacting to the fear. He also questioned whether SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) was controlling the sentiment toward the Nasdaq stocks with its desperate selling. Softbank&#8217;s Tokyo-listed shares fell over 18%. 
&#8220;Global reset led from Japan,&#8221; he said.
Cramer also recommended investors exercise restraint. &#8220;I do not want to call it over-exaggerated, but it would be more thoughtful if the decline were based on more basics and less emotion,&#8221; he said.
Wedbush&#8217;s Daniel Ives said in a post on X that Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 average&#8217;s historical sell-off as &#8220;Yen carry trade unwinds in brutal fashion and global economic/geopolitical jitters will cause a nasty day for US markets and tech stocks.&#8221; 
&#8220;We keep same tech playbook we used during March 2020 Covid sell-offs and other macro panic events last few years,&#8221; he added.
Upcoming Economic Data:
The unfolding week&#8217;s economic calendar is fairly light and noteworthy among them are two separate service sector activity readings and the weekly jobless claims data.
<ul>
<li>On Monday S&amp;P Global is due to release its final service sector purchasing managers&#8217; index for July at 9:45 a.m. EDT, with economists expecting a reading of 55 for the month.</li>
<li>The Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s non-manufacturing report due at 10 a.m. EDT, is expected to improve from 48.8 in June to 51.4 in July.</li>
<li>The Treasury will auction three- and six-month notes at 11:30 a.m. EDT.</li>

PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pep#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) has reported robust second-quarter 2024 results, wherein earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues lagged. However, the top and bottom lines improved year over year. The company&#39;s results have mainly been aided by improvements in its international business, which delivered significant volume growth and organic revenue growth of 5.5% year over year. The international business also reported 10% core operating profit growth and strong core operating margin expansion.
The results also reflect gains from strength and resilience in its categories, diversified portfolio, modernized supply chain, improved digital capabilities, flexible go-to-market distribution systems and robust consumer demand trends.
Shares of PepsiCo declined 1.9% in the pre-market session on Jul 11, as results have continued to be impacted by QFNA&#39;s recall-related headwinds and soft performance at the North America convenient foods businesses. Shares of the Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have declined 2.7% in the past three months against the industry&#39;s 2.6% growth.

<h3>Quarter in Detail</h3>
PepsiCo&#39;s second-quarter core EPS of $2.28 beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.15 and increased 9% year over year. In constant currency, core earnings improved 10% from the year-ago period. The company&#39;s reported EPS of $2.23 rose 13% year over year in the quarter. Foreign currency impacted EPS by 1%.
Net revenues of $22.5 million rose 0.8% year over year but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $22.6 billion. Revenues were negatively impacted by subdued category demand within its North America convenient foods businesses. Unit volume was down 2% for the convenient food business and was flat for the beverage business. Foreign currency impacted revenues by 1%.
On an organic basis, revenues grew 1.9% year over year, significantly below organic revenue growth of 13% in second-quarter 2023. The variance mainly resulted from a soft QFNA performance, which was impacted by certain product recalls. The QFNA segment revenues reduced organic revenue growth by 60 basis points (bps) in second-quarter 2024.

<h3>PepsiCo, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise</h3>
<img alt="PepsiCo, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/a5/1720704535.png" style="height:282px; width:620px" title="" />
PepsiCo, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | PepsiCo, Inc. Quote
The company&#39;s consolidated organic volume was down 3%, while effective net pricing improved 5% in the second quarter. Pricing gains were driven by strong realized prices across all segments, except for QFNA.
Our model predicted year-over-year organic revenue growth of 2.8% for the second quarter, with a 4.5% gain from price/mix and a 1.7% decline in volume.
On a consolidated basis, the reported gross profit increased 3.1% year over year to $12.58 billion. The core gross profit rose 3% year over year to $12.57 million. The reported gross margin expanded 126 bps, whereas the core gross margin expanded by 120 bps.
We anticipated the core gross margin to expand 20 bps year over year to 54.9% in the second quarter. In dollar terms, core gross profit was expected to increase 2% year over year.
The company reported an operating income of $4.05 billion, which rose 10.6% year over year. The core operating income grew 6.8% year over year to $4.12 billion. The core constant-currency operating income also improved 7% year over year. The reported operating margin expanded 160 bps from the year-ago quarter. Meanwhile, the core operating margin expanded 103 bps, driven by holistic productivity initiatives, offset by planned business investments.
Our model predicted core SG&amp;A expenses of $8.6 billion, which indicated year-over-year growth of 2.8%. As a percentage of sales, core SG&amp;A expenses were anticipated to be 37.9%, suggesting a 50-bps rise from the prior-year quarter.
We expected a core operating margin of 17.1%, implying a 20-bps decline from the year-ago quarter&#39;s actual.
</div>
<h3>Segmental Details</h3>
The company witnessed revenue growth on a reported basis across most of the operating segments, except for QFNA, FLNA and APAC. Revenues in the QFNA segment were impacted by certain product recalls and tough revenue growth comparisons with the prior year. FLNA revenues were partly marred by subdued category demand in the convenient foods business.
Revenues on a reported basis improved 1% year over year in PBNA, 7% in Latin America, 2.5% in Europe, and 2% in the AMESA segment. However, reported revenues declined 0.5% at FLNA, 18% at QFNA and 2% at the APAC segment.
PEP&#39;s organic revenues improved across all operating segments, except for QFNA. Organic revenues were flat for FLNA, and rose 1% for PBNA, 2% for Latin America, 7% for Europe, 12% for AMESA and 1% for the APAC segment. However, organic revenues declined 18% for the QFNA segment.
<h3>Financials</h3>
The company ended second-quarter 2024 with cash and cash equivalents of $6.4 billion, long-term debt of $36.6 billion, and shareholders&#39; equity (excluding non-controlling interest) of $19.4 billion.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.3 billion as of Jun 15, 2024, compared with $2 billion as of Jun 17, 2023.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
PepsiCo has revised its view for 2024. The company expects year-over-year organic revenue growth of 4% for 2024, compared with the prior view of at least 4%. It anticipates core constant-currency EPS growth of at least 8% from the year-ago period&#39;s reported figure.
Based on the current rates, PEP expects currency headwinds to hurt revenues and the core EPS by 1 percentage point in 2024. The company expects a core effective tax rate of 20% for 2024.
Given the above assumption, PepsiCo expects a core EPS of at least $8.15 for 2024. This suggests a 7% increase from the core EPS of $7.62 reported in 2023.
PepsiCo has been committed to rewarding shareholders through dividends and share buybacks. It expects to return a value worth $8.2 billion in 2024, including $7.2 billion of dividends. Additionally, the company plans to repurchase shares worth $1 billion in 2024.

A dovish Federal Reserve message, benign economic data, and positive earnings reports fueled the market rally for a second consecutive week. All three major indices closed the week ending May 3 firmly in positive territory. While Fed Chair&nbsp;Jerome Powell&nbsp;didn&#8217;t provide a specific timeline for rate cuts, he reassured investors by clarifying that hikes are not on the immediate horizon. Big tech companies like&nbsp;Apple, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and&nbsp;Amazon, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) met analyst expectations with their earnings reports.
The Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s service sector reading fell sharply and dipped into contraction territory. However, the monthly non-farm payrolls report offered mixed signals: lower-than-expected job growth in April, a slight increase in the unemployment rate, and slower-than-expected wage growth.

Insights From Analysts: 
An analyst highlighted data that increases the confidence in the current market rally. Carson Group&#8217;s Ryan Detrick said the current bull market was still quite young. As opposed to the average duration of 60 months for the past 12 bull markets, the current one is less than 19 months old, he said. On a more positive note, if the bull market starts in October, its average is even a litter bit longer, he added.

Wall Street Looks To Extend Rally Amid Caution Over Fed Speeches, More Earnings: Why This Analyst Thinks Bull Market Is Still 'Quite Young'

Earnings reports and a dovish stance from the&nbsp;Federal Reserve&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/38624536/federal-reserve-dismisses-rate-hike-fears-labor-market-cools-apple-lures-investors-" rel="noreferrer noopener">lifted stocks last week</a>.

Will Earnings Cheer Continue This Week? All Eyes On Disney, Palantir, Robinhood While Reddit Gears Up For Debut Quarterly Report

Thinsters are thin, crunchy, bite-size cookies with simple ingredients and bursts of flavor.&nbsp;&nbsp;

J&J Snack Foods Acquires Crunchy Cookie Maker Thinsters; No Terms Disclosed

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from J&amp;J Snack Foods (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JJSF#NASDAQ">JJSF</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 73.5 cents per share. On Monday, J&amp;J Snack Foods will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 73.5 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own JJSF as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 73.5 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on April 09, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

Friday Is Your Last Chance To Buy J&J Snack Foods Before The Dividend Payout

U.S. stocks are poised for another day of weakness, although <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/36941798/palantir-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-continued-gaap-profitability-ahead-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">some positive tech earnings</a> may provide a modest lift to the sector. The market appears to be digesting information following a rally that began after the early January downturn. According to a recent report from FactSet, estimated earnings growth for S&amp;P 500 companies has turned upward as more companies report earnings beats by a wide margin. Additionally, speeches from Federal Reserve officials scheduled for the day could influence trading.
Cues From Monday's Trading:
Major indices paused on Monday due to concerns about overbought levels, prompting caution among investors. Federal Reserve commentary suggested that the central bank may refrain from cutting rates until evidence of a sustained downtrend in inflation emerges.
The Institute of Supply Management&#8217;s service sector reading added to concerns about delayed rate cuts from the Fed. The survey showed &#8220;economy growing solidly in early 2024 and prices rising, further reducing odds of a March rate cut,&#8221; said Comerica Chief Economist&nbsp;Bill Adams.
Indices opened lower and extended losses in early trading before rebounding from lows later in the morning. However, they still ended the day down, with both the S&amp;P 500 Index and the Dow Industrials retreating from record levels.
All sectors, except healthcare stocks, experienced declines, with material, utility, and real estate stocks particularly affected by the sell-off.

The high-flying S&amp;P 500 Index could see some slowdown, according to LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist. &#8220;The S&amp;P 500 is now riding a four-week winning streak — making it an impressive 13 out of 14 positive weeks — and has gained more than 20% since the October 2023 lows,&#8221; the analyst said.
&#8220;While markets can remain overbought for extended periods, especially in strong bull markets, extremes in momentum often portend price pullbacks or consolidation phases.&#8221;
He noted that the index has recently climbed to over 10% above its 200-day simple moving average, raising the odds for potential reversion to its mean. Also, the market breadth has not improved despite the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s rally, the analyst said, adding that declining shares modestly outpaced advancers last month and there were fewer S&amp;P 500 stocks making new 52-week highs in January than in December. 
&#8220;This negative divergence, defined by the S&amp;P 500 moving higher as breadth metrics move lower, further raises the odds of a potential pullback or consolidation phase for stocks,&#8221; Turnquist said.
&#8220;In terms of potential entry points, the next key downside support levels for the S&amp;P 500 set up near 4,830, 4,800, and 4,726.&#8221;
