Before wrapping up today's episode of Consumer Countdown, consumer goods analysts Michael Finarelli and Sean O'Reilly each discuss a stock they're watching this week. For Sean, that stock is Activision Blizzard (ATVI +0.00%), which is still enjoying a pop from buying itself out from Vivendi. Meanwhile, Mike will be watching PepsiCo (PEP 1.64%), which reports on Wednesday; he's particularly interested in seeing how the company stacks up to Coca-Cola, which reported earnings earlier today, and to see if the company discusses a potential breakup.
