lcva2 PepsiCo ( PEP ) rose in Thursday morning trading after the food and beverage giant topped first-quarter estimates. Notably, CEO Ramon Laguarta said the company is not seeing a change in consumer behavior from the rise in gas prices. Evercore ISI analyst Robert Ottenstein highlighted that PepsiCo ( PEP ) had a solid quarter as the PepsiCo Foods North America division delivered both volume and net revenue growth in Q1, with good performance across most large, well-recognized brands. Wells Fargo analyst Chris Carey said the PepsiCo ( PEP ) report is likely to be a “few surprises” kind of print with results about in line and guidance maintained, helped by commodity hedging near term. Looking ahead, Carey said the debate likely remains focused on the path of the North American acceleration and at what cost in terms of margins. Seeking Alpha analyst Steven Fiorillo highlighted that PepsiCo ( PEP ) bulls finally got the quarter they've been waiting for. "North America is turning, organic growth picked back up to 2.6%, and the 210 bps of operating margin expansion tells me productivity savings and the brand restaging work are actually hitting the P&L now rather than getting eaten by input costs," he updated. Fiorillo also noted that PepsiCo's ( PEP ) guidance for 2026 is affirmed, the 54th straight dividend hike is in, and the company walks into the back half of the year with more momentum than it's had in a long time. Shares of PepsiCo ( PEP ) were up 2.0% at 10:59 a.m. and are 10% higher on a year-to-date basis.

People down the rabbit hole don’t always realise their experience isn’t universal, advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith writes. You might have more luck trying a new tactic Read more Leading questions My friend of 30 years keeps sending me social media posts and videos that I either don’t find funny or are disturbing. We live far away and rarely see each other, so we communicate through a messaging app. I’ve told her many times that I prefer positive or cute things, and I don’t follow American politics. Her life is difficult and I understand why she spends so much time on social media. Last week she sent me multiple videos each day that were not of interest to me at all, including one with women slapping each other. She often buys into conspiracy theories until I disprove them. All of it upsets me. It’s like she doesn’t know who I am. I’m not replying to any of these messages but she keeps sending them. Continue reading...

But experts caution against overdoing the method Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email In what feels like less of a trend and more like the correct way to do something, people on social media have discovered “slow vacuuming”.

It’s a relief to see the pontiff decrying brutality, because it seems most current world leaders lack the necessary spine I have never been a religious or spiritual person, even though I grew up in a religious area and had friends (and strangers) throughout school and university trying to lure me into whatever prayer disguised as organised fun they were up to. I did try it out shortly for a desperate period when I was young, attempting to pray to a god I didn’t really believe in to make me not gay, but blessedly he never answered. Despite my resistance to organised religion, I have always had a soft spot for nuns and their counterparts. The girlies. Sign up for a weekly email featuring our best reads Continue reading...
