		<description><![CDATA[We recently downgraded the shares of Pepsi Bottling Group (PBG) from Outperform to Neutral. Pepsi Bottling Group is the world’s leading bottler and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages and commands a strong portfolio of globally recognized brands. However, a leveraged balance sheet and intense competition from other bottlers continue to affect the company’s performance. This leaves limited space for above-market performance of the company. Pepsi Bottling Group’s balance sheet is highly levered as indicated by a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60.4% at the end of fourth quarter of 2009. The significant debt levels led to an outflow of $88 million or about 47.3% of operating income during the fourth quarter in interest payments, which reduced the company’s overall profitability. Furthermore, Pepsi Bottling Group’s significant international presence exposes it to unfavorable foreign currency ]]></description>

Although the exact value of the deal is not yet finalized, the transaction is expected to be valued at approximately $15 million Incorporatedluding debt. This move by Coca Cola follows a similar deal signed by its biggest rival PepsiCo (PEP), who aims to close the acquisition of its two biggest bottlers, Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. (PBG) and Pepsi Americas Inc. this week. This deal was announced in August 2009. Once the deal is finalized, Coca Cola would buy the North American operations of Coca Cola Enterprises and some of the assets in Scandinavia and Germany. However, the operations of the rest of the bottling company will remain the same. The ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. (PBG) reported fourth-quarter results before the opening bell on Tuesday. The company swung to a net income of $90 million from a net loss of $271 million in the year earlier quarter. Excluding certain special items, earnings per share came in at 59 cents, easily topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents derived from 8 covering analysts. The better-than-expected result was primarily attributable to management initiatives to control overheads coupled with the absence of impairment charges, which existed in the year-ago period. The company has a good record of beating earnings expectations as it has topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three out of previous four quarters with an average positive surprise of 30%, or 3 cents. The earnings beat in the fourth quarter ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PepsiCo Inc. (PEP) reported strong third quarter results with earnings of $1.09 per share. This was 6 cents above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03 and up 10.1% year-over-year. The strong results were driven by the company’s balanced approach towards product innovation and cost control measures. However, net sales for the quarter declined marginally by 1.5% year-over-year to $11.1 billion. The decline was attributable to negative sales in Latin America Foods – LAF (-9.6%), PepsiCo America Beverages – PAB (-9.1%) and Europe (-2%). This more than offset the growth in Frito-Lay North America – FLNA (+4.6%), Quaker Foods North America – QFNA (+6.9%), Middle East/Asia/Africa – MEAA (+8.6%) and PepsiCo International (+2.5%). The FLNA segment reported a 3% increase in volume and a 5% increase in revenue. Volume growth reflects ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pepsi Bottling Company (PBG) reported earnings of $1.06 per share in the third quarter of 2009. This was 2 cents below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.08 and was even year-over-year. Net revenues for the quarter declined 4.7% year-over-year to $3.6 billion, primarily due to weak operating results across two of its three geographic segments: Revenue in Europe declined 13% and in Mexico by 18%, which was partially offset by a 2% growth in the U.S./Canada segment. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted revenues by 7%. Total worldwide physical case volume declined 2% for the quarter. Volume in the U.S. and Canada segment declined 1%, while in Mexico, volume increased 1%. However, volume declined 5% in Europe. In addition, net revenue per case declined 3%, primarily due to weak economic conditions ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) reported its second consecutive quarter of strong results, with earnings of $0.67 per share. Earnings were $0.24 above Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.43, driven by benefits of price and package initiatives in North America, volume and pricing growth in Europe and efficient cost control mechanisms. Net operating revenues during the quarter were almost flat year over year, declining marginally by 0.5%. Benefits of positive net pricing (+8.5% in North America and +4.0% in Europe) was partially offset by 3.5% volume declines in North America. Volumes in Europe grew 6.5%. Currency translations negatively impacted the top-line by 6.5%. Overall physical case and can volume declined 1.1% while net revenue per case increased 8.0% year-over-year. The Board also raised dividend by $0.04 to $0.32 per share, effective with the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team According to a recent research study for the Financial Times prepared by the consulting firm Wolff Olins, the world’s next top brands are set to rise in the east. A strategist at Wolff Olins, Melanie McShane, stated that “It used to be possible to be a global brand by dominating the US market. That’s changing rapidly. Now you have to be number one in Asia.” The findings of the Wolff Olins research echo research by the US-based consulting firm, Bain &#38; Co. Their research estimated that one-third of the FT Global 500 companies could come from emerging markets by 2015 thanks to what it calls a “seismic shift” away from developed markets. A partner with Bain &#38; Co. said that established western consumer ]]></description>
