PepsiCo is a food and drink company based in Purchase, New York. It makes drinks such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Gatorade, and snacks and foods such as Lay’s, Doritos, Cheetos and Quaker oats. A large part of its business is snacks, not only soda.
It earns from selling its products to stores, restaurants and vending machines, then using strong brands and its delivery network to keep shelves full. Pricing power matters, since people often keep buying familiar brands.
Costs for ingredients, packaging and transport affect profit, and changing tastes toward healthier choices push the company to adjust its products. Consumer staples like this are often seen as steady, but steady does not mean no risk.
Is PepsiCo just soda?
No. Snacks and foods are a big share of its business.
What is a consumer staple?
