PepsiCo is
set to hike prices on some chips and sodas by the end of this year or in
early 2027, Bloomberg News reported
Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The
company had cut prices by up to 15% on products such as Lay's and Doritos
earlier this year in response to customer backlash against several rounds of
earlier price hikes.
PepsiCo,
during the latest earnings report, kept its annual forecast intact and
posted a 2% drop in second-quarter sales in its North American food business,
which has struggled with waning demand, increasing competition and shifting
preference towards snacking.
