PepsiCo said it will slash prices on popular snacks like Lay's, Doritos, and Cheetos in response to consumer complaints about rising costs.
PepsiCo (PEP) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.26 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.24 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.96 per share a year ago.
PepsiCo plans to slash prices by as much as 15% on classic snacks like Lay's potato chips, Doritos and Flamin' Hot Cheetos to counter inflationary price hikes.
PepsiCo shifts from 'Sell' to 'Neutral' as a $10B buyback and 4% dividend increase provide downside protection. PEP's U.S. snack volumes continue to decline, prompting management to admit flawed pricing and implement up to 15% price cuts. Organic growth in Europe and Latin America offsets U.S. weakness, but execution risk remains as recovery is expected in late 2026.
PepsiCo is cutting prices on some of its brands, such as Lay's, CEO Ramon Laguarta said Tuesday. The price cuts will be as high as 15% for some products, the company said.
