百事公司(PepsiCo)本周一宣布,已與一家激進(jìn)投資機(jī)構(gòu)達(dá)成協(xié)議,計(jì)劃降低價(jià)格并淘汰部分產(chǎn)品。
這家總部位于紐約帕切斯的公司生產(chǎn)奇多(Cheetos)、多力多滋(Tostitos)等菲多利(Frito-Lay)零食以及多種飲料。公司表示,將在明年年初前削減近20%的產(chǎn)品線,并將節(jié)省的資金用于市場營銷并為消費(fèi)者提升產(chǎn)品價(jià)值。公司未具體披露將淘汰哪些產(chǎn)品以及降價(jià)幅度。
百事公司還表示,計(jì)劃加快推出配方更精簡、功能性更強(qiáng)的產(chǎn)品,例如多力多滋蛋白系列,以及不含人工香精和色素的Simply NKD奇多與多力多滋系列。該公司近期還推出了其經(jīng)典可樂的益生元版本。
百事公司做出這些調(diào)整,源于埃利奧特投資管理公司(Elliott Investment Management)的推動(dòng)。該公司于9月斥資40億美元收購了百事公司的股份。埃利奧特在致百事公司董事會(huì)的信中表示,該公司正因戰(zhàn)略方向不明、北美食品飲料業(yè)務(wù)增長放緩以及盈利能力下降而受損。
埃利奧特合伙人馬克·斯坦伯格(Marc Steinberg)在周一與百事公司的聯(lián)合聲明中表示,相信百事公司通過執(zhí)行新計(jì)劃能為股東創(chuàng)造價(jià)值。
斯坦伯格說:“我們贊賞與百事公司管理團(tuán)隊(duì)的合作互動(dòng),以及他們所展現(xiàn)出的緊迫感。我們相信,今天宣布的這項(xiàng)投資于產(chǎn)品可負(fù)擔(dān)性、加速創(chuàng)新并積極削減成本的計(jì)劃,將推動(dòng)營收和利潤實(shí)現(xiàn)更強(qiáng)勁的增長。”
埃利奧特表示計(jì)劃繼續(xù)與百事公司保持密切合作。
百事公司股價(jià)在周一盤后交易中持平。
百事公司預(yù)計(jì),2026年有機(jī)營收將增長2%至4%。今年前九個(gè)月,該公司的有機(jī)營收增長了1.5%。
百事公司還表示,計(jì)劃審查其供應(yīng)鏈,并繼續(xù)調(diào)整董事會(huì),重點(diǎn)引入能幫助公司實(shí)現(xiàn)增長和盈利目標(biāo)的全球性領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。
百事公司董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官龍嘉德(Ramon Laguarta)在一份聲明中表示:“我們正緊迫地實(shí)施一系列行動(dòng)和舉措,以改善市場表現(xiàn)和財(cái)務(wù)業(yè)績,這令我們感到鼓舞。”
百事公司在2月份曾表示,連續(xù)多年的兩位數(shù)漲價(jià)和不斷變化的客戶偏好削弱了其飲料和零食的需求。7月,該公司表示正通過擴(kuò)大切斯特(Chester‘s)和桑蒂塔斯(Santitas)等平價(jià)品牌的分銷渠道,來扭轉(zhuǎn)其產(chǎn)品過于昂貴的印象。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

PepsiCo plans to cut prices and eliminate some of its products under a deal with an activist investor announced Monday.
The Purchase, New York-based company, which makes Cheetos, Tostitos and other Frito-Lay products as well as beverages, said it will cut nearly 20% of its product offerings by early next year. PepsiCo said it will use the savings to invest in marketing and improved value for consumers. It didn’t disclose which products or how much it would cut prices.
PepsiCo said it also plans to accelerate the introduction of new offerings with simpler and more functional ingredients, including Doritos Protein and Simply NKD Cheetos and Doritos, which contain no artificial flavors or colors. The company also recently introduced a prebiotic version of its signature cola.
PepsiCo is making the changes after prodding from Elliott Investment Management, which took a $4 billion stake in the company in September. In a letter to PepsiCo’s board, Elliott said the company is being hurt by a lack of strategic clarity, decelerating growth and eroding profitability in its North American food and beverage businesses.
In a joint statement with PepsiCo Monday, Elliott Partner Marc Steinberg said the firm is confident that PepsiCo can create value for shareholders as it executes on its new plan.
“We appreciate our collaborative engagement with PepsiCo’s management team and the urgency they have demonstrated,” Steinberg said. “We believe the plan announced today to invest in affordability, accelerate innovation and aggressively reduce costs will drive greater revenue and profit growth.”
Elliott said it plans to continue working closely with the company.
PepsiCo shares were flat in after-hours trading Monday.
PepsiCo said it expects organic revenue to grow between 2% and 4% in 2026. The company’s organic revenue rose 1.5% the first nine months of this year.
PepsiCo also said it plans to review its supply chain and continue to make changes to its board, with a focus on global leaders who can help it reach its growth and profitability goals.
“We feel encouraged about the actions and initiatives we are implementing with urgency to improve both marketplace and financial performance,” PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Ramon Laguarta said in a statement.
PepsiCo said in February that years of double-digit price increases and changing customer preferences have weakened demand for its drinks and snacks. In July, the company said it was trying to combat perceptions that its products are too expensive by expanding distribution of value brands like Chester’s and Santitas.
