Better Buy in August: Celsius Down 42% This Year or a 50/50 Split of Coca-Cola and Pepsi?
For investors staring at a Celsius (NASDAQ: CELH) chart that looks like a ski slope, it is tempting to ask whether the post‑earnings pain has created a bargain. I think the better move in August is simpler and less dramatic: Skip the niche energy‑drink hype and put new money into a 50/50 split between Coca‑Cola (NYSE: KO) and PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) instead.

PepsiCo's Foods Segment: Sustainable Recovery or Temporary Relief?
PepsiCo, Inc.'s PEP North America foods business appears to be showing early signs of a recovery, supported by improving volumes, affordability initiatives and portfolio transformation. Management highlighted that U.S. foods returned to volume growth in the first half of 2026, while the company moved from losing to gaining volume share in the category. The improvement reflects PEP's deliberate push to lower prices and improve affordability, alongside growing consumer interest in permissible offerings and portion-controlled products. However, the recovery has yet to fully live up to expectations. Management acknowledged that second-quarter volume growth was weaker than anticipated, partly because consumers faced greater pressure from higher gasoline prices and tighter budgets. Delays in executing price investments at certain customers also weighed on results, although those issues have reportedly been addressed. PepsiCo expects better momentum in the second half as it fine-tunes affordability investments across channels, expands permanent shelf and perimeter space and scales innovations such as Naked and Doritos Protein. The key question, therefore, is whether the recent volume improvement marks a sustainable turnaround or merely temporary relief generated by heavier value investments. PepsiCo remains confident in the strategic direction, noting that consumer response to its affordability initiatives has broadly tracked expectations and that it expects the U.S. foods business to continue growing volume and net revenues. Still, the company is focused on generating more volume from each dollar of trade investment, while profit improvement in Foods is expected to be more gradual as value investments work through the system. Thus, the recovery appears to be gaining traction, but stronger volume growth and improved returns on affordability spending will be important to confirm that the turnaround has staying power. Beverage Giants Chase Sustainable Growth Amid Consumer Caution Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. KDP and The Coca-Cola Company KO are leaning on affordability, innovation and portfolio strategies to support demand, but sustained volume growth and disciplined execution will be key to maintaining momentum. Keurig Dr Pepper is also focusing on strengthening demand through affordability, innovation and portfolio expansion as beverage consumers remain selective with their spending. The company has been working to support volumes through targeted pricing and promotional activity while investing behind its core brands and expanding into faster-growing beverage categories. Similar to PepsiCo's foods business, the effectiveness of these investments will depend on whether improved consumer engagement translates into sustainable volume growth without putting excessive pressure on profitability. Consequently, KDP's ability to balance value offerings with brand investment and productivity gains remains important for maintaining growth momentum. Coca-Cola has likewise relied on a combination of affordability, package innovation and revenue growth management to navigate a value-conscious consumer environment. Its broad portfolio and flexible packaging architecture allow the company to offer different price points and serving sizes while continuing to invest in marketing and innovation. This approach can help protect consumer demand even when discretionary spending is pressured. However, as with PepsiCo, the durability of improvement will depend on whether volume trends strengthen alongside pricing and whether productivity initiatives can offset ongoing investments and cost pressures, making execution a key factor for sustained growth. Story Continues PEP's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of PepsiCo have lost 7% in the past three months against the industry's rise of 4.2%.Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, PEP trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 15.74X, below the

More than 80 senior marketing leaders from leading brands across Asia-Pacific to evaluate the region's best agencies. HONG KONG, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Campaign Asia-Pacific, Haymarket Media Asia's leading media, marketing and advertising title, has unveiled its most extensive regional judging panel for the Campaign Agency of the Year Awards 2026, bringing together more than 80 senior marketing leaders from some of the world's most respected brands to recognise and evaluate the region's leading agencies.Campaign Asia-Pacific Agency of the Year Awards 2026 Representing Australia/New Zealand, Greater China, Japan/Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia and APAC, this year's judging panel brings together senior decision-makers across a diverse range of industries, including financial services, FMCG, technology, telecommunications, hospitality, automotive and healthcare. Judges represent leading organisations including Citi, The Coca-Cola Company, Henkel, HSBC, IBM, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, Lenovo, Mars, Mondelez International, Nestlé, Pernod Ricard, Reckitt, Samsung, SAP, Starbucks, Unilever, Visa, and Volvo Cars, among others. The Campaign Agency of the Year Awards recognise agencies that demonstrate excellence across creativity, innovation, effectiveness, talent development, business performance and client partnerships. With the final entry deadline on Friday, 4 September 2026, agencies have one final opportunity to showcase their strongest work, teams and achievements to a panel of senior brand leaders who shape marketing strategies and appoint agency partners across the region. "The Campaign Agency of the Year Awards continue to set the benchmark for recognising agency excellence across Asia-Pacific," said Atifa Silk, Managing Director, Campaign Asia-Pacific. "What makes these awards distinctive is that entries are judged by the marketers who partner with agencies, build long-term relationships and drive business growth every day. Recognition from this calibre of senior marketing leaders is a powerful endorsement of an agency's creativity, capabilities, business performance and impact. We encourage agencies across the region to showcase their strongest work before the final deadline." Judges reveal what makes a standout entry As the communications landscape evolves, so do the expectations for award-winning work. Ahead of the Campaign Agency of the Year Awards 2026, members of this year's judging panel shared what they look for in standout entries and the qualities that distinguish the region's best agencies. Rvisra Chirathivat, Chief Marketing Officer, Central and Robinson Department Store said: Story Continues "The marketing and communications landscape across Asia is evolving faster than ever, driven by AI, data, and changing consumer expectations. The agencies that will succeed in this complex environment are those that combine strategic thinking, data, and creativity to help clients solve real business challenges while keeping the human connection at the centre of everything they do. I'm interested in understanding how an agency solves a genuine commercial challenge, influences customer behaviour, and contributes to long-term brand and business growth. The entrants that stand out will be those creating lasting value for both customers and the business - agencies that become genuine business partners. I believe genuine business excellence is reflected in the positive and sustainable impact an agency creates for the brands they serve." Meanwhile, Josette Addinall, Vice President Marketing, Pacific, Schneider Electric, shares her perspective: "I see the landscape being shaped by three defining forces: AI, shifting customer expectations, and rising expectations around measurable business outcomes. In my opinion, the best agencies position themselves as growth partners rather than suppliers. They demonstrate a deep understanding of the industry context, customer dynamics, competitive environment and commercial objectives. A

How the page works
How to read the score
It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.
Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
