Demand Weakening
  • PepsiCo will cut suggested retail prices on popular snacks—Lay’s, Doritos, Cheetos and Tostitos—by up to 15%, including roughly 14% off an 8-oz bag of Lay’s and an $0.80 cut on a 9.25-oz bag of Doritos, starting this week ahead of Super Bowl shopping.
  • Price reductions are described as “selective and surgical”, focusing on products where price is the biggest barrier; actual in-store prices may vary by retailer.
  • The move forms part of measures under an agreement with activist investor Elliott Investment Management, under which PepsiCo has agreed to cut its North American product lineup by about 20%.
  • Alongside the price cuts, PepsiCo reported stronger-than-expected Q4 results, noting a 1% decline in North American food volumes and saw its stock rise 5% on the announcement.
