PepsiCo’s sales for the most recent quarter stayed flat, mostly because the effect of the pandemic on its business has been almost symmetrical, hurting and helping in equal measure.
Packaged-food sales, mostly through PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats units, were up 6.6%, mostly because consumers forced to quarantine at home have increased their consumption of snacks and pantry basics. But North American beverage sales were down 6.6%, in large part also due to the pandemic; consumers aren’t buying fountain drinks at restaurants, theaters and other venues. Total organic revenue for the quarter dropped 0.3%.
