PepsiCo

PepsiCo will release Q3 figures on Oct. 8; the consensus of 17 analysts sees adjusted earnings per share of $2.30 (prior year $2.29) and revenue of around $24.97 billion. The stock is trading at a year low, weighed mainly by weak North America business and price discounts on snacks that are used to buy volume gains. One-time tariff refunds are likely to add about eight cents per share to the result; without this effect the consensus would be slightly below the year-earlier level. Key for a recovery are sustained snack and improved beverage volumes in North America and confirmation of the annual guidance of $8.55 to $8.71 in adjusted earnings per share. » Plus sur deraktionaer.de

PepsiCo initiated a voluntary class II recall of about 122,000 cases of 28oz Gatorade bottles—including Lemon Lime, Lime Zero, Orange and Orange Zero—because they contain undeclared Yellow No 6 and/or Yellow No 5. The recall covers products distributed across 37 US states and was posted by the FDA on 25 September. The action was issued for consumer safety concerns for those sensitive to the dyes; it is unclear whether refunds are available. » Plus sur theguardian.com
