Jim Cramer Says PepsiCo is Too Cheap Yet Overlooked
'If you want to know a stock that's too cheap relative to its growth rate, but nobody talks about it anymore, why don't you check out the stock of PepsiCo? It trades at a stunningly low 17 times earnings. I mean, what gives? Well, how about GLP-1 drugs? How about RFK Junior at Health and Human Services, who despises junk food even as he seems to embrace junk science? How about the desire to stay healthy? All these have weighed on PepsiCo stock. Of course, don't forget they own Frito-Lay. Maybe it's finally overdone. I don't know it. It's a tough industry all of a sudden.'

Memo advises GOP to extend ACA tax credits
President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' pays for an extension of his 2017 tax cuts in part through slashing about $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next decade. Democrats across the country are ready to make these cuts the prominent issue ahead of the midterm elections. The memo notes that all benefits from those tax cuts will be nullified because of premium increases if the subsidies are not extended. PUP Research is the sister group to PUP Advocacy, a conservative advocacy organization. 'Unfortunately, data shows that the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits on January 1, 2026, will increase health care costs to a level that will counteract the tax benefits of OBBB for over 20 million people,' the group wrote. Extra subsidies that help people afford ObamaCare premiums that were put in place during the coronavirus pandemic are set to expire at the end of the year, and there are few signs Republicans are interested in tackling the issue at all. If Congress takes no action, premiums for subsidized enrollees are projected to increase by more than 75 percent starting in January 2026, according to health research group KFF. There is broad bipartisan and public support for extending the subsidies, and the memo cited recent polling from Trump pollster Fabrizio Ward that showed Republicans losing support in the most competitive districts if the tax credits expire. But if Republicans extend them, the poll showed they can gain an advantage against Democrats in the midterms. The Republican candidate that supports extending the tax credits would lead the Democrat on the generic ballot by 6 points overall.

Senate takes first step on late government funding bills
The Senate took a bipartisan step forward Tuesday on the first of its annual appropriations bills for the upcoming fiscal year — as the deadline to avoid a government shutdown comes into view. Why it matters: It's an early sign that some Democrats are still willing to work across the aisle to avoid a shutdown, at least for now. The early procedural vote was 90-8. Seven Senate democrats voted against opening debate: Ed Markey (Mass.), Alex Padilla (Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Adam Schiff (Calif.), Bernie Sanders (Vt.), Chris Murphy (Conn.) and Peter Welch (Vt.) — along with Republican Mike Lee (Utah). The bill provides funding for military construction and Veterans Affairs. Republican leaders have indicated they want to attach it to packages that fund agriculture programs, food safety, as well as the Commerce and Justice departments. What to watch: Democrats decided Tuesday to support moving forward with the measure, with the party's leaders noting that it reverses much of DOGE's cuts to programs that enjoy broad, bipartisan support. But they are keeping their powder dry on future appropriations bills and a solution to averting a shutdown at the end of September. Democratic leaders have warned Republicans that seeking more rescissions packages like the one Congress sent to President Trump last week would threaten Democratic support for government funding. Trump's budget chief Russell Vought has thrown gasoline on the fire, not only hinting at more rescissions packages, but also saying the appropriations process should be "less bipartisan." The big picture: Congress is far behind schedule for passing all of the appropriations bill before the Oct. 1 deadline, likely necessitating another stopgap spending measure to avoid a shutdown. The Senate Appropriations Committee has agreed to four appropriations bills so far, all with bipartisan support. In the House, two appropriations — funding defense, military construction and Veterans Affairs — have passed along party lines. Congress has increasingly relied on short-term spending measures called continuing resolutions — which keep spending levels flat from the previous year — to avoid a shutdowns.
