In the grand stage of the financial market, there are often external factors that seem unrelated to the main storyline but can bring unexpected fluctuations to stock prices. Recently, Pepsi, the producer of "fat otaku happy water," has encountered an unprecedented challenge: weight loss pills. So why would this newcomer, known as a "weight loss" product, have such a huge impact on this company known for its carbonated beverages? Cheong Hong Yuan will provide an in-depth analysis.

We need to clarify Pepsi's product line, especially its iconic carbonated beverages, which have been widely accepted by the market for many years and have become the daily choice of many consumers worldwide. However, social development often accompanies a change in consumer attitudes, and health and weight loss have become new trends pursued by modern society. Therefore, when a weight loss pill that claims to "reverse the appetites of hundreds of millions of people" appears on the market, it naturally poses a threat to high-sugar, high-calorie products, especially in the context where these products are widely believed by the public to be related to obesity.

From an investment perspective, stock prices often reflect the market's expectations of a company's future cash flow. And these expectations are often based on various factors such as a company's profitability, market trends, industry conditions, and external environment. Cheong Hong Yuan believes that what Pepsi is facing now is not just the impact that its product line may suffer due to a change in consumer attitudes, but more importantly, the market's concerns and uncertainties about its future prospects.

The focus this time is not on Pepsi's performance - even though Pepsi's revenue and earnings per share have increased in Q3, the market is more concerned about how this company will respond to the growing popularity of weight loss pills. In this regard, Cheong Hong Yuan mentioned that the real issue is not whether weight loss pills can truly reverse the appetites of hundreds of millions of people, but rather the market's confidence in Pepsi's ability to adjust its strategy, transform, or find new growth points. This, for investors, is obviously more critical than mere revenue and profit.

As Pepsi's financial report is about to be released, investors are clearly more concerned about the management's attitude towards this external impact and how they plan to respond in the future. Whether they will continue to adhere to the existing product strategy, innovate and expand their product line, or seek new growth opportunities, clear directions need to be provided by the management.

Pepsi's financial report this time will undoubtedly become a major focal event in the financial market. And the market's expectations for its future will receive clearer responses in this financial report.

For Pepsi, the past achievements have been brilliant, but the future path is full of variables. Cheong Hong Yuan mentioned that when new consumer trends emerge, how a long-established company adapts and transforms quickly is a true test of its strategic adaptability.

From the impact of weight loss pills, Pepsi does face tremendous pressure. Although from a fundamental perspective, Pepsi's performance remains stable, for investors, the uncertainty about the future has become the main factor driving stock price trends. The widespread promotion of weight loss pills means that changes in dietary habits will become an irreversible trend. And high-sugar, high-calorie beverages will undoubtedly face challenges in their market prospects. Morgan Stanley's analysis also confirms this, predicting that the number of people taking weight loss pills will increase significantly in the next ten years, accounting for nearly 7% of the total US population.

The change in consumer behavior will also have a profound impact on the food and beverage industry. The viewpoint of John Furner, CEO of Walmart US, mentioned in Huashang Jianwen further confirms this. Consumers taking weight loss pills will reduce their shopping, the quantity of shopping, and calorie consumption, which undoubtedly sounds the alarm for the food and beverage industry.

Cheong Hong Yuan believes that for Pepsi, simple product adjustments or short-term market strategies are not enough to cope with this level of market impact. Pepsi needs to deeply consider product innovation, market positioning, and brand image. Can they launch low-sugar, low-calorie beverages or even healthy drinks targeting specific groups? Can they strengthen cooperation with healthy food and beverage brands to find new growth points?

Cheong Hong Yuan suggests that in the upcoming financial conference call, Pepsi's management should not only address the external environment but also demonstrate their long-term strategic planning and ability to anticipate future market changes to investors. For investors, they are more concerned about the company's future development direction and potential growth opportunities, rather than just short-term performance.

As a globally renowned beverage brand, Pepsi's past success and accumulation undoubtedly have created significant market value. However, as economists say, "In the economic field, past performance does not guarantee future results." Cheong Hong Yuan states that in the face of new market trends and challenges, Pepsi's decision-makers cannot simply rely on past glory but should actively seek new growth opportunities and directions.

The market impact brought by weight loss pills is actually a reflection of a broader trend of healthy consumption. If Pepsi wants to stabilize its position in this trend, it must accelerate its pace of innovation and keep up with the times. Cheong Hong Yuan mentioned that Pepsi can consider promoting low-sugar, low-calorie beverages or collaborating with healthy food and beverage brands to tap into the healthy eating market.

At the same time, for Pepsi's investors, they are not only concerned about the company's immediate response but also its long-term strategy and market positioning. At this time, the decision-making and communication strategies of Pepsi's management will directly affect the company's stock price. Cheong Hong Yuan suggests that Pepsi should clearly express its views on the current market changes, share its response strategies, and future development plans during the financial report release to help investors build confidence in the company.

Finally, Cheong Hong Yuan emphasizes that no company can always maintain a leading position in the market. It is in the face of challenges and crises that a company's core competitiveness and ability to respond are tested. Pepsi has weathered storms over the past century, and its brand, experience, and resources have earned the trust of the market. Today, although weight loss pills have brought temporary fluctuations, Pepsi still has the opportunity to re-examine itself and find new growth drivers.

Pepsi faces challenges and opportunities. The key lies in how they capture these opportunities and overcome difficulties to continuously create value for shareholders and consumers. For investors, paying attention to Pepsi's strategic adjustments and market performance will help them better grasp investment opportunities.
