▼ + stars: | 2024-07-27 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

New research identifies the 10 best-performing US stocks since 1926. Of 29,000 US stocks traded since 1926, most had negative returns, but top performers showed consistent gains. Of course, identifying the 10 best-performing stocks for the next 100 years is nearly impossible, as the paper's author points out. "The majority (51.6%) of these stocks had negative cumulative returns," finance professor Hendrik Bessembinder of Arizona State University wrote. Bessembinder also observed that the 10 best-performing stocks delivered consistently modest annualized gains, reinforcing the slow and steady mantra championed by long-term investors.

☆ PepsiCo is using robotics and AI-powered crop planning to transform its supply chain
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-26 | by ( John Kell | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

PepsiCo says it's two-thirds of the way done with an overhaul of its supply chain. This article is part of "The Future of Supply-Chain Management," a series on companies' manufacturing and distribution strategies. With more automation, workers are doing fewer physical tasks, like driving a forklift, and far more oversight of the machines taking over those tasks. Workers at manufacturing facilities and distribution centers and the unions that represent them often bristle at automation, which can lead to layoffs. Even as it has invested in automation, PepsiCo's total workforce has swelled: It grew by 20%, to 318,000, over the five years that ended in 2023.

AP —A court case could soon settle a spicy dispute: Who invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos? In 1991, Montañez asked for a meeting with PepsiCo CEO Roger Enrico to pitch his spicy Cheetos, confident they would be a hit with the Latino community. Enrico granted the meeting, liked the presentation and directed the company to develop spicy Cheetos, according to the lawsuit. PepsiCo introduced Flamin’ Hot Cheetos in 1992. He published a memoir in 2021 and his life story was made into a movie, “Flamin’ Hot,” in 2023.

Montaque cofounded Group Black in 2021 with the goal of directing $500 million in advertising money to Black-owned media in its first 18 months. With the pledge, Group Black laid out a plan to steer money to Black media owners and acquire media companies. Bough, Group Black's chief strategy officer, was a former Mondelēz and PepsiCo marketer who presented the CNBC reality show "Cleveland Hustles." Various outlets reported that Group Black mounted bids for media companies including the Sports Illustrated publisher Arena Group, the Paramount-owned BET, Vice Media, and Vox Media. Seven former employees described Montaque as an energetic leader but said he was ultimately ineffective in executing Group Black's mission.

☆ Right-wing media figures blame women in Secret Service and ‘DEI’ for security failure in Trump shooting

But one narrative has quickly taken hold in parts of the right-wing media ecosystem: The security failure was the result of workforce diversity initiatives and women working as Secret Service agents. Matt Walsh, a far-right media personality, wrote a series of posts on the social media platform X assailing the notion of women working as Secret Service agents. “There should not be any women in the Secret Service. “Female agents were also among those guarding Trump’s armored SUV as it prepared to depart the scene,” said Campbell. Associations that represent women in law enforcement reacted to the unfounded attacks on female agents with disappointment and alarm.

☆ ‘The Buck Stops With Me’: Secret Service Director Soldiers On

In the summer of 2022, Kimberly A. Cheatle, who handled global security at PepsiCo, delivered surprising news shortly before a board of directors meeting, according to a colleague at the time: President Biden had asked her to run the Secret Service. The opportunity to return to an agency she had served for a quarter century was one she could not resist, the colleague recalled Ms. Cheatle saying. Now, less than two years later, an assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump has thrown her tenure into uncertainty. Since a gunman’s bullet grazed Mr. Trump’s ear at a campaign rally on Saturday, Ms. Cheatle has been forced into an uncomfortable limelight. Critics have questioned how the agency could have missed a man with a gun on a rooftop less than 500 feet from the former president — especially when law enforcement was amassed just below.

Pressures faced by lower-income consumers have been smoothed over by robust spending from the middle- and higher-income cohort.

"They are spending, but they're being more particular than they were before in terms of what they're spending on," she added. "As more consumers shift their meal preferences to eating at home as opposed to eating out, that could provide a catalyst to lift these stocks valuations," he wrote.

New York CNN —Higher prices have gone too far even for salty snacks. PepsiCo’s snack unit Frito-Lay posted a dip in revenue in its second quarter Thursday after multiple quarters of price increases. While inflation has slowed down, American customers still haven’t recovered from higher prices in everyday categories like snacks. Certain products, like unsalted potato chips or tortilla chips, could see a “value reset” and have lower prices, Laguarta said. The company said it would offer broader price tiers, using its variety multipacks that are often cheaper per bag, as an example.

Food inflation has increased at a steady pace over the last few months. While PepsiCo is one of the largest food manufacturers in the world, it's far from alone in hiking prices.

PepsiCo : The soft drinks and snacks giant reported a mixed quarterly Thursday with a sales miss and an earnings beat. Jim Cramer said Thursday that PepsiCo is in a tough position due to consumers using GLP-1 weight loss drugs to curb appetite. Delta Air Lines : The carrier reported record revenue during its second quarter but a slump in profits, which dragged the stock down more than 5%. Alongside a solid print, the company said it expects record revenue growth for the third quarter on booming summer travel demand. This was a "very surprising" development from the company, Cramer said, given the main use case for aluminum is aerospace, an industry that has been experiencing slower manufacturing of planes as of late.
