Pepsi cuts earnings forecast on higher commodity prices

Date: Feb 10, 2011

Soft drinks maker PepsiCo has cut its earnings forecast for 2011, warning that higher commodity prices will push its costs up and citing a weak economy.

The company said it was mindful that consumer spending could be weak given high levels of unemployment in key developed markets. It is also concerned about high raw material costs, and "a potentially difficult competitive pricing environment, particularly in beverages".
