PepsiCo to Cut Approximately 1,000 North American Jobs Amid Sales Struggles
PepsiCo has announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 1,000 positions across North America. The layoffs are part of a strategic effort to streamline operations and improve organizational connectivity as the company seeks to revitalize lagging sales in its primary market. The restructuring follows recent financial headwinds, including a lowered 2026 earnings outlook issued in October. During the third quarter, PepsiCo's North American beverage volume declined by 2%, while food division volumes remained flat. Despite efforts involving price adjustments and increased marketing investment, management noted that the business turnaround is progressing slower than anticipated.
