GLP-1 weight-loss drugs force employers to rethink health coverage

Rising use of GLP-1 weight‑loss drugs is driving up employer health costs, with about two‑thirds of firms still covering GLP-1s but roughly 10% planning to drop coverage next year. PepsiCo, Cigna and Starbucks have already narrowed or halted GLP-1 coverage, while Bank of America reports hundreds of millions spent on these drugs; some research suggests fewer sick days, complicating the cost‑benefit equation for employers.

PepsiCo’s Q2: Growth Abroad Offsets U.S. Slump, Keeping Outlook Intact

PepsiCo posted a mixed Q2: revenue rose 6.4% to $24.18 billion and adjusted EPS of $2.20 (vs $2.21 expected), with GAAP EPS of $2.18 on $2.98 billion net income. Global volumes grew, led by a 3% rise in food and 2% in beverages, but North American food was flat and beverages fell 4%. The strength abroad helped, but domestic demand weakened amid inflation and higher gas prices. The company kept its full-year forecast for organic revenue growth of 2–4% and core EPS up 4–6%, aided by prior price cuts and brand restaging; shares fell about 4% after the report.

PepsiCo hits receipts abroad as US shoppers trim snacks amid inflation

PepsiCo posted a better‑than‑expected quarter with adjusted EPS of $2.20 and revenue of $24.2 billion, driven by strength overseas, even as U.S. consumers pared back snacks and soda due to higher living costs. North America volume fell about 2% and pricing gains were offset by softer NA performance, helped by successful multipacks and zero‑sugar drinks. The company still expects full‑year organic revenue up 2‑4% and core EPS up 4‑6% in constant currencies, with a gradual improvement in North America in the second half; the stock fell around 5% after the report.

PepsiCo warns Iran conflict could push prices higher amid inflation fight

PepsiCo warned that the Iran war could raise input costs and, by extension, consumer prices, even as it previously cut snack prices to combat inflation. The company expects to offset higher costs through its supply infrastructure, productivity gains, and adjustments to its price-pack architecture, with six to 12 months of hedging offering some protection. In the latest quarter, revenue rose 8.5% to $19.4 billion and net income climbed 27% to $2.3 billion, helped by rebounding North American snack volumes and resilient international markets.

PepsiCo Cuts US Snack Prices by 15% Ahead of the Super Bowl

PepsiCo said it will lower the suggested retail price of its snacks by about 15% in the United States, responding to consumer concerns that prices have become too high. Shoppers will see the reduced prices on packaging this week, with in-store pricing potentially varying by retailer, and the move is aimed at boosting purchase frequency after a deal with activist investor Elliott Management. The price cuts come as PepsiCo also rolls out newer snack options and looks to bolster sales in a sluggish North American snack category, just ahead of the Super Bowl’s peak snack-buying period.
