To wrap up today's episode of Consumer Countdown, the consumer goods team discusses two stocks they're watching this week, and why you should watch them as well.

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 (NASDAQ: ATVI), which is still enjoying a pop from buying itself out from Vivendi. Meanwhile, Mike will be watching PepsiCo (PEP -0.19%), 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.
