0941 ET - The consumer and macroeconomic environments remain dynamic, PepsiCo CEO Ramon Laguarta says at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference. On the consumer front, habits and preferences are shifting, he says. Nowadays, shoppers are increasingly focused on functional health and wellness, as well as flavor. "In multiple markets, we have to play to multiple cultures as we develop flavors for our products," Laguarta says. At the same time, PepsiCo remains up against a volatile macro landscape, driven by tech disruption and geopolitical risks and uncertainty. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
