PepsiCo’s Stock Price Takes a Hit, But International Business Shows Promise

PepsiCo’s stock price has taken a nosedive in recent weeks, with its price-to-earnings ratio plummeting. But don’t count the company out just yet - its international business is showing signs of life, with potential for growth that could offset the decline in its domestic market.

  • Key statistics:
    • Stock price drop: 10% in the past quarter
    • Price-to-earnings ratio: down 15% from last year
    • International revenue growth: 12% in the past year

Despite this, PepsiCo’s decision to withdraw support from Pride events has sparked outrage among LGBTQ+ advocates and allies. The company’s move to join the ranks of other corporations in this stance is a clear indication of its willingness to prioritize profits over people.

  • Companies that have withdrawn support from Pride events:
    • Bud Light
    • Coors Light
    • Miller Lite

But PepsiCo is not without its successes. The company has secured a deal with Formula 1 to reach a global audience, cementing its position as a major player in the world of sports marketing.

  • Key details of the deal:
    • Multi-year partnership
    • Global reach of over 500 million fans
    • Increased brand visibility for PepsiCo

However, the company’s success is being threatened by a potential requirement for warning labels on packaged foods in Texas. The move could have far-reaching consequences for PepsiCo’s brands, including Doritos and M&Ms.

  • Potential impact of warning labels:
    • Increased costs for packaging and labeling
    • Negative impact on brand image
    • Potential loss of sales in Texas market
