PepsiCo's Frito-Lay North America has shown unusual volume weakness as consumers pull back on snack categories and value private label competes effectively. Beverages remain stable. International strength continues. Pricing exhaustion is the structural concern as elasticity reverses. Productivity programs and portfolio reshaping (low/no calorie, healthier snacks) are partial offsets. Dividend aristocrat status and capital return remain anchors.
