Performance of the Quarterly Report

Pepsico's total operating revenue was US$27.784 billion as of December 28, 2024, showing the company's stability in the market, although lacking prior data to calculate year-on-year changes. Market demand, product portfolio, pricing strategy, competitive environment, and macroeconomic factors can all affect the company's total operating revenue.

Key Data from the Quarterly Report

1. Pepsico's revenue in 2023 was approximately US$91.5 billion, with a net revenue of US$27.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023.

2. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 decreased by 0.2% year-on-year to US$27.8 billion, below market expectations, mainly affected by the Quaker recall and geopolitical pressure in international markets.

3. Pepsico's pricing strategy in 2024 showed a 2.5% year-on-year growth in the beverage segment, but a 2.0% year-on-year decrease in sales, indicating that the price increase had a negative impact on sales.

4. Pepsico's product prices have averaged a 41% increase since 2020, leading to a decrease in consumer spending and affecting sales.

5. The overall growth of the beverage industry has slowed down, entering a stage of stock competition, but the no-sugar beverage market has maintained rapid growth, showing a trend of market segmentation.

Peer Comparison

1. Industry-wide analysis: The beverage and fast-moving consumer goods industry in 2024 has been affected by fluctuations in raw material prices and changes in consumer trends, with a possible steady growth trend in total operating revenue. According to predictions, the no-sugar beverage market will achieve significant growth, indicating a change in future trends.

2. Peer evaluation analysis: Compared with Coca-Cola, Pepsico's total operating revenue growth is slow, showing a lack of market competitiveness. Coca-Cola's revenue performance in the same period may be better than Pepsico, which requires further attention to its market strategy and product innovation.

Summary

In summary, Pepsico's total operating revenue in the current economic and market environment shows a certain stability, but faces weak market demand and competitive pressure. The adjustment of pricing strategies may achieve short-term revenue growth, but the long-term trend of decreasing sales needs to be paid attention to. The industry as a whole has entered a stage of stock competition, and enterprises need to seek innovation to enhance market performance.

Opportunities

1. With the rapid growth of the no-sugar beverage market, Pepsico can innovate products in this niche market to attract health-conscious consumers.

2. Optimizing product portfolios, especially strengthening the development of low-sugar and healthy foods, may gain new market shares.

3. Appropriate promotional and discount strategies can help boost sales, especially in price-sensitive markets.

Risks

1. Weak market demand may lead to a continuous decline in the company's operating revenue, affecting overall financial performance.

2. Competitors' market strategies may further squeeze Pepsico's market share, especially in relatively mature markets.

3. Fluctuations in raw material prices and geopolitical factors may affect production costs and thus affect the company's profitability.
