Equity Research: PepsiCo’s Growth Path 

written on January 24, 2025

PepsiCo, Inc. continues to hold a leading position in the global food and beverage market, powered by iconic brands such as Pepsi, Lay’s, Gatorade, and Quaker. The company operates in four key segments: PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA), Frito-Lay North America (FLNA), Quaker Foods North America (QFNA), and International Operations. Despite challenges in volume growth across its core businesses, PepsiCo has been able to maintain strong revenue performance through effective pricing strategies. The company’s strategic focus on product innovation, including healthier and more sustainable offerings, as well as its commitment to environmental sustainability, positions it for continued growth. 

In the face of changing consumer preferences, PepsiCo has ramped up investment in reduced-sugar beverages, plant-based snacks, and functional nutrition. With sustainability initiatives such as carbon reduction, water stewardship, and recyclable packaging, PepsiCo is aligning itself with long-term consumer trends. Its extensive global distribution network and efficient supply chain are key drivers of its competitive edge and market penetration. 

The recent dip in PepsiCo’s stock price, driven by inflationary concerns and consumer price sensitivity, presents an opportunity for investors to capitalise on the company’s strong brand equity, operational resilience, and growth potential. As PepsiCo fine-tunes its pricing strategies and promotional efforts, we expect it to regain volume momentum, particularly in North America.
