Structural: Frito-Lay is the dominant global salty-snack franchise (~$25B+ revenue, mid-teens operating margins), bundled with the #2 beverage system worldwide. Two-decade record of organic growth + dividend hikes (53 consecutive years). Pricing has been the primary growth lever 2022-2024 as input costs spiked; 2025-2026 thesis is volume recovery as elasticity normalizes and input deflation lets price hold flat.

- Free cash flow ~$8-9B funds 3%+ dividend yield + buyback without leverage stress

- GLP-1 demand impairment thesis (snack/soda) still unproven but tail-risk priced
- Frito-Lay NA volume down 3-4% multi-quarter; consumer trading down on bag size
- Quaker recall overhang + slow recovery in cereal/oats
