Coca-Cola's shares are approaching all-time highs, driven by a lean beverage-focused strategy and efficient franchising, while PepsiCo's stock has fallen nearly 30% since early 2023 due to weak snack sales and high operational costs. PepsiCo's snack division, which makes up over half its revenue, has suffered from price hikes and consumer cutbacks amid inflation and high gas prices. Activist investor Elliott Management has pushed PepsiCo to restructure, including cutting product lines and lowering prices, but the company still faces challenges in profitability compared to Coca-Cola's 35% operating margin versus PepsiCo's 16.5%. Coca-Cola's upcoming earnings report on July 28 will be closely watched as the financial gap widens.
