PepsiCo plans to raise prices on sodas, chips and dip — and that has Wall Street worried
Why now
Thesis: PepsiCo pricing power tested by affordability concerns
Catalyst to watch: Next earnings volume and guidance
Main risk: Consumers trade down, volumes fall
Why it matters

Details
TD Cowen analysts flagged the company’s “shifting narrative on affordability” as a risk.
