Kellogg's cold cereal products are pictured in a market in New York, U.S., June 21, 2022. REUTERS/Mike Segar/File PhotoAug 3 (Reuters) - Kellogg Co (K.N) on Thursday forecast a smaller drop in annual profit than it had previously expected, as multiple price hikes for its breakfast snacks and cereals helped strengthen its margins. The Corn Flakes maker said it expected 2023 adjusted profit per share to decline between 1% and 2%, compared with the prior forecast for a decline of 1% to 3%. However, the company posted a 4.6% rise in net sales to $4.04 billion in the second quarter, missing analysts' expectations of $4.07 billion, according to Refinitiv data.

Right now, Peterson says, the data suggests that consumers are spending across the economy and consumer sentiment has taken a turn for the better. "For most of this year, consumers were saying right now is okay, but we're worried about the future; we think a recession is coming." Peterson's first area of concern relates to the aggressive interest rate hikes made by the Federal Reserve over roughly the past year and a half, 11 rate hikes that have taken its benchmark rate above 5%. The "lagged effects of interest rate hikes will start hitting consumer spending," Peterson said. "Certainly, for the second half of the year, we're going to see slower consumer spending," Peterson said.

Monster energy drinks are seen for sale in a motorway services shop, Reading, Britain, January 25, 2019. REUTERS/Peter CziborraAug 3 (Reuters) - Monster Beverage Corp (MNST.O) missed Wall Street estimates for second-quarter sales on Thursday as higher cost of living weighed on demand for its pricier energy drinks and alcohol brands, sending its shares down 3.4% after the bell. Consumers have curbed non-essential spending as disposable incomes remain pressured by rising interest rates and higher food prices. Like Coca-Cola (KO.N) and PepsiCo (PEP.O), Monster Beverage also implemented price hikes as it fights pressures from higher raw material costs and labor expenses. Net sales rose to $1.85 billion from $1.66 billion a year ago, compared with analysts' average estimate of $1.87 billion, according to Refinitiv data.

Digital ad vultures descend on TV’s carcass

NEW YORK, July 28 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The digital advertising hunt is back on. Reuters Graphics Reuters GraphicsAlthough Meta and Alphabet dominate the digital ad market, there’s plenty of money yet to fight for. Comcast (CMCSA.O), for example, said on Thursday that U.S. ad revenue at its NBC Universal media division fell 5% and overall EBITDA was down nearly a fifth. Despite the volatile nature of advertising revenue because of its close links to economic trends, it also typically generates healthy operating margins. It’s no wonder then that Amazon.com (AMZN.O), Walmart (WMT.N), DoorDash (DASH.N) and many more are descending on TV’s carcass.

But major food companies, from Nestlé to Unilever, increased prices much more than that. The world's biggest food companies spent the first half of this year raising prices, according to several earnings reports released this week. Some external factors have impacted the costs that major food companies pay to produce their products. It's especially easy for global food companies to raise prices, given that a few companies own most of the brands in many US grocery stores. But there's some evidence that consumers aren't willing to put up with higher food prices indefinitely.

The long advertising winter could be coming to an end in the second half of this year. There are tentative signs that the advertising winter is starting to thaw. Meta, which derives more than 98% of its revenue from advertising, reported revenue well ahead of analysts' estimates for the second quarter. To be sure, some pure-play advertising companies remain challenged. Indeed, on Thursday, the US Commerce Department said the US economy grew by 2.4% in the second quarter, which was up from 2% in the first quarter.

Philip Morris renamed itself Altria, presumably in part to diminish its perceived association with lung cancer, but its customers still smoke Marlboros. But absent such good reasons, sensible businesses keep the brand names their customers keep buying. The Twitter logo was also fine — distinctive, instantly recognizable and without any obvious negative connotations. Furthermore, the new logo — a slightly embellished version of the letter X — is problematic in several ways. Many TAFKAT users say that they’re embarrassed by the logo, which makes them feel as if they’re visiting a porn site.

July 26 (Reuters) - Coca-Cola Co (KO.N) raised its annual revenue and profit forecasts after beating quarterly results on the back of higher pricing, with demand for its sodas remaining resilient at a time when consumers are cutting back on non-essential spending. Earlier this month, rival PepsiCo (PEP.O) also raised its annual revenue and profit forecasts for a second time this year after beating second-quarter results, easing worries over a slowdown in demand due to price hikes. Coca-Cola's average selling prices rose 10% in the second quarter, while in North America volumes declined 1%, showing little impact to demand with overall unit case volumes remaining flat. Coca-Cola forecast full-year core earnings per share to rise between 5% and 6%, compared with previous expectation of a 4% to 5% increase.

Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Unilever have each reported raising prices significantly in the second quarter, from about 8 percent at Unilever to 15 percent at Pepsi. The companies raised their full-year forecasts for various measures, pushing up their share prices. The Fed’s main tool to tackle inflation is raising interest rates, which reduces demand for goods and services. But food prices can be particularly sticky: Unlike other goods, consumers cannot stop buying food, and food prices are particularly sensitive to external factors like supply shocks, ingredient prices and geopolitics. “The Fed really has no ability to resolve those issues,” said David Ortega, a food economist at Michigan State University.

For two years, Coca-Cola has been raising prices on its drinks to combat higher costs. But the company said Wednesday it's done hiking prices this year in developed markets like the U.S. and Europe. Coke's prices were up 10% in the second quarter compared with the year-ago period. Coke plans to keep raising prices in line with inflation in developing markets like Latin America. Coke shares fell less than 1% in morning trading, despite the company raising its full-year outlook and reporting earnings and revenue that topped Wall Streeet estimates.

Affordability often comes down to how extensive a student's financial-aid offers are — including grants and scholarships. But I'm a college-education expert and one of the authors of "Commencement: The Beginning of a New Era in Higher Education," and I've seen countless students negotiate a higher deal. If you're an incoming freshman, you have every right to go back to the college or university and renegotiate your financial-aid offer. That's the tuition price listed on the school's website. That means a $40,000 tuition price tag often gets reduced to $18,200, but only if you ask for it.

Coca-Cola on Wednesday raised its full-year outlook after reporting earnings and revenue that topped estimates. For 2023, Coke now expects comparable earnings per share growth of 5% to 6%, up from its prior forecast of a 4% to 5% rise. The company's three drinks divisions all reported flat growth for the quarter, but there were some bright spots. Coke Zero Sugar's volume rose 5%, thanks to strong demand in North America and Latin America. Ultra-filtered milk brand Fairlife saw strong growth in the U.S. Coke's coffee division also reported volume growth of 5%, fueled by Costa Coffee's performance in the United Kingdom and China.

Cramer also highlighted beverage and food giant PepsiCo , along with travel and leisure front-runners, Boeing and American Express . "I think this is a matter of keeping it simple, stupid," Cramer said. But if a company is not overbought, Cramer urged investors to wait for a swoon after a company's earnings report, or a market-wide dip.

As studios cut spending and strikes shut down production, Hollywood can take some solace — brands are coming to the rescue. Brand Storytelling is an organization that's held a festival for brand content alongside the Sundance Film Festival for the past seven years. Brand film submissions have almost tripled to 160 in the past three years, according to Rick Parkhill, director and co-founder of Brand Storytelling.

Cramer said he is impressed with PepsiCo CEO Ramon Laguarta, who he said was able to raise the company's growth rate when few thought it would be possible. It now trades for nearly double that price, and Cramer envisions a possible PepsiCo takeover of the company. "This is no longer the old Pepsi or Frito Lay: The company's done a remarkable job building brand equity. It's no longer, per se, a buyback machine — It's a machine that pours money into global growth markets," Cramer said. "Ramon Laguarta is a fantastic manager who's doing amazing things with Pepsi and Frito Lay that even bulls like me never thought possible."

CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors on Tuesday that he doesn't think all the buzz about a recession being just around the corner holds much weight. "Those who cling to the notion that we're about to enter recession must find all of these examples daunting, if not depressing," Cramer said. "But earnings season has shown the recession thesis just doesn't hold up under close scrutiny, even if so many so-called experts tell us otherwise." "If the bears were right about the inevitable recession, it'd be the opposite: a strapped consumer, out of cash and hanging on by her fingertips," he said. "Defaults are minimal, including defaults in the dreaded commercial real estate space, which I keep telling you was a well overdone crisis."

Many of the reasons to be bullish on PepsiCo are already priced into the stock, Morgan Stanley warned. After the strong earnings report, Mohsenian said further upside to the company's topline compared with consensus estimates is now more limited in the second half of the year. That makes upside for shares more limited with investors anticipating all this good news ahead, he said. In the same vein, he noted that the stock has outperformed these competitors when looking back to the start of the pandemic.

The market is fully expecting another interest rate hike from the Fed in July, after it skipped a rate hike in June. For the Fed, ideal inflation is in the target range of 2%. But he is more encouraged about the economy avoiding recession, which recent economic history said would not be possible. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly expressed her commitment to lowering inflation even further on "Squawk on the Street" last week. "It's really too early to say that we can declare victory on inflation.
