激進投資者Elliott逼近與百事達成和解




激進投資者Elliott接近與百事公司達成和解,華爾街日報報導

據華爾街日報周四引述知情人士報導,激進投資者Elliott Management正接近與飲料及零食巨頭百事公司(PepsiCo)達成和解協議。

報導指出,和解細節暫未公開。Elliott於去年九月購入約40億美元的百事股份,並敦促百事提升股價、重振汽水業務及提升競爭力。

百事方面未對路透社的置評請求作出回應,而Elliott Management亦拒絕評論。

今年十月,百事CEO Ramon Laguarta表示,公司與Elliott的互動一直具合作性,且他同意該激進投資者對百事股價被低估的看法。Laguarta當時透露,百事目前的業務增長策略已納入許多Elliott的建議,但對於Elliott建議將公司龐大的北美裝瓶網絡分拆以提升利潤率的方案,則未有明確回應。

百事公司在十月任命了新任首席財務官,並公布季度業績超出預期。公司表示正努力削減美國零食類別的成本,包括關閉兩家工廠及削減近15%的產品線。

此外,百事押注消費者對健康選擇的偏好,計劃重新推出能量飲料Gatorade,繼續Lay’s和Tostitos的品牌重塑後,亦將推出含電解質、纖維和蛋白質的Propel飲品,這是繼收購益生元汽水品牌Poppi後的新品。

評論與啟示

Elliott Management作為著名的激進投資者,其在百事的行動顯示出當今大型企業面對股東壓力時的典型態勢。Elliott大手投資並提出具體改革建議,反映出資本市場對於傳統飲料零食巨頭在新興健康趨勢和市場競爭中必須轉型升級的迫切期待。

百事CEO的態度顯示雙方合作的可能性,但對於拆分北美裝瓶業務的敏感議題,百事仍保持謹慎,顯示公司在維持現有營運結構與響應股東要求之間尋求平衡。這反映出大型跨國企業在面對激進投資者時,既要保持靈活應變,也要顧及長遠戰略穩定。

從更廣泛的角度看,百事積極削減成本並重塑品牌,尤其是聚焦健康飲品市場,符合全球消費者健康意識提升的大趨勢。這也反映出傳統飲料巨頭必須在保持經典產品吸引力和抓住新興市場機會之間找到新的增長引擎。

最後,這場和解如果成功,或將成為激進投資者與大型消費品企業合作共贏的典範,既能推動企業改革提升競爭力,也能為股東創造更大價值。香港及亞洲投資者亦應關注此類跨國企業如何在全球消費趨勢變化中調整策略,尋找投資新機遇。

Create a hyper-realistic cinematic scene inside a traditional Wing Chun training hall. The man from the uploaded reference image is training at a wooden dummy with Ip Man standing beside him, personally correcting his technique. Keep both faces accurate to the reference image: exact skin tone, hairstyle, age, expression, and natural sweat on their skin.
Both wear classic black Wing Chun uniforms with white cuffs. Show Ip Man’s calm, focused guidance as he places his hands near the student’s arms on the wooden dummy. Capture the wooden dummy with polished texture and rich warm tones.
Include authentic Chinese decor: calligraphy scrolls, carved wooden frames, soft lantern light, and other students blurred in the background. Use shallow depth of field, warm natural lighting from the windows, and crisp detail on clothing and skin. The scene should feel like a still frame from an Ip Man movie, grounded, disciplined, and cinematic. A beautiful young woman in her early twenties from Hong Kong has flawless, fair skin with a subtle glow. She possesses large, clear eyes with soft eyeliner and long, delicate eyelashes. Her nose is straight, and her face is exquisitely heart-shaped. Her lips are naturally pink. She has long, layered, dark brown hair parted in the middle. She wears a loose-fitting light gray and beige striped knit sweater with a waffle pattern and slightly oversized ribbed cuffs. One shoulder of the sweater slips slightly. She pairs this with a burgundy high-waisted quilted mini skirt with a diamond pattern and ruffles at the hem, revealing her long, smooth legs. She strikes a playful pose, her eyes innocent yet subtly alluring. She stands in front of a pristine white studio backdrop, the soft, even lighting creating a natural atmosphere without harsh shadows. This is a high-key portrait; the minimalist background highlights her delicate skin texture, and her sharp, clear eyes, presenting a realistic sense of style. Magazine cover style, shot with an 85mm lens, f/2.0 aperture, soft bokeh, 8K resolution, ultra-realistic, commercial photography. Stylised portrait in emerald green and charcoal black palette. Grayscale realism for subject, upward gaze. Sunglasses with muted emerald reflective lenses. Jacket with ornate baroque/filigree black designs, emerald hood underneath. Textured emerald-green fabric draped below. Background: dense, overlapping hand-inked patterns in emerald, charcoal, and subtle silver — radiating lines, geometric shapes, spirals, parallel contour textures, crosshatching, organic waves, dots. Bold contrast, deep blacks, glowing emerald accents. Mixed-media pop realism. Negative prompt: no cartoon, no art style, no painting, no drawings.
