Activist investor takes a $4 billion stake in PepsiCo, seeing a path to revive sales

SUMMARY: Activist investor Elliott Investment Management is taking a $4 billion stake in PepsiCo, saying there's an opportunity to turn the beverage company around.

But the firm still believes in PepsiCo's potential, particularly noting its growing international business.

FINANCIAL MARKETS

Wall Street pulls further from its records under the weight of pressure from the bond market

SUMMARY: Wall Street is pulling further from its records, ground down by tightening pressure from the bond market. The S&P 500 sank 0.9% after falling as much as 1.4% early Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 305 points, and the Nasdaq composite lost 1.1%. Nvidia and other companies that have benefited from the frenzy around artificial-intelligence technology were some of the heaviest weights on the market. The overall stock market was feeling pressure from rising yields in the bond market. When bonds are paying more in interest, investors are less willing to pay high prices for stocks.

US--KRAFT HEINZ-SPLIT

Kraft Heinz breaks up with changing consumer tastes and little appetite for big food companies

SUMMARY: Kraft Heinz is splitting into two companies a decade after they joined in a massive merger that created one of the biggest food companies on the planet. One of the companies will include brands such as Heinz, Philadelphia cream cheese and Kraft Mac & Cheese. The other will include brands like Oscar Mayer, Kraft Singles and Lunchables. When the company formed in 2015 it wanted to capitalize on its massive scale, but shifting tastes complicated those plans, with households seeking to introduce healthier options at the table. Kraft Heinz's net revenue has fallen every year since 2020.

US--BOEING-JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

Crash victims' families prepare to make what could be their final plea for Boeing's prosecution

SUMMARY: Families that lost loved ones in two crashes of Boeing 737 Max jetliners may be getting their last chance to demand the American aerospace company's criminal prosecution. A federal judge in Texas is set to hear arguments Wednesday on a Department of Justice motion to dismiss a felony charge against Boeing. The Justice Department revived the conspiracy charge last summer in connection with the crashes that killed 346 people off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia. Although Boeing agreed to plead guilty, a Texas judge opposed certain aspects of the aircraft maker's plea agreement in December. Prosecutors came back with a new agreement that took the charge and the plea off the table.

US--MCDONALD'S-VALUE MENU

Coming price cuts at McDonald's may signal a broader fast food price war

SUMMARY: McDonald's is cutting prices on some combo meals to woo back customers who've been turned off by the rising costs of grabbing a fast food meal. Starting Sept. 8, McDonald's will offer Extra Value Meals, which combine select entrées like a Big Mac or an Egg McMuffin with medium fries or hash browns and a drink. Prices will vary by location, but McDonald's said Extra Value Meals will cost 15% less than ordering each of those items separately. McDonald's and other fast-food companies have been losing lower-income customers after years of prices increases. That could lead to more U.S. fast food deals this fall.

AS--JAPAN-SUNTORY-RESIGNATION

Top Japanese beverage giant Suntory's chief resigns as he faces a drug probe

SUMMARY: Takeshi Niinami, a Japanese business leader and CEO of beverage giant Suntory, has resigned as he is facing an investigation into his alleged possession of an illegal drug. Suntory Holdings President Nobuhiro Torii announced the resignation on Tuesday, saying the company had accepted Niinami's decision. Torii did not specify the drug or the circumstances, noting the investigation was still underway. Niinami became CEO of Suntory in 2014 and has won praise for the company's performance. Torii expressed respect for Niinami's leadership but said the resignation was necessary due to governance issues. Suntory officials suggested the drug might have been a supplement Niinami acquired personally.

US--POWERBALL-JACKPOT

Powerball jackpot rises to an estimated $1.3 billion after no winning ticket sold

SUMMARY: The Powerball jackpot has risen to an estimated $1.3 billion after the winning numbers failed to appear. The numbers drawn Monday night were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53 with the Powerball 5. There have been no jackpot winners since May 31. That long winless streak has allowed the prize to swell to the fifth-largest in the game's history. The $1.3 billion jackpot is for winners who opt for an annuity. Most people prefer cash and that value is now $589 million. The odds of matching all six numbers are astronomical: 1 in 292.2 million.
