PepsiCo Is Known for Sodas Such as Pepsi and Mountain Dew. But Almost 50% of Its Profits Comes From Something Else Entirely.
The granddaddy of the colas is The Coca-Cola Company, with the Coca-Cola brand launching in 1886. The Pepsi-Cola Company, now (NASDAQ: PEP), wasn't far behind with its own Pepsi-Cola drink in 1898. And the two have locked horns for cola supremacy ever since.
Neither Coke nor Pepsi was able to take down its cola competitor. So it wasn't long before these two companies upped the ante by developing comprehensive soda-brand portfolios. Nowadays, PepsiCo sells well-known sodas such as Mountain Dew, Pepsi Wild Cherry, Mug Root Beer, Crush, and Starry in addition to its eponymous Pepsi.
PepsiCo built its portfolio by making several key acquisitions. Its 1964 acquisition of Mountain Dew was especially crucial to its present-day success. In the U.S. carbonated soft-drink market, Mountain Dew had 6.6% market share in 2022, according to Statista. I'd say that buyout worked out quite well.
