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.
