Suddenly All Is Well In Bottling Mergers (PEP, PBG, PAS, COKE, CCE, KOF, CCH, KO)

money-stack-imageThis morning we caught the news on a volume alert, but there was no confirmation of the news.  Now, we have the formal release from PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP).  Pepsi has capitulated and decided to offer more for its acquisitions of The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (NYSE: PBG) and PepsiAmericas, Inc. (NYSE: PAS).  Both bottlers agreed and signed definitive merger pacts with PepsiCo.

Interestingly enough, this could have traders (and investment bankers) looking toward Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (NASDAQ: COKE), Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: CCE), Coca-Cola FEMSA S.A.B de CV (NYSE: KOF), and Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. (NYSE: CCH)… all of which are tied to The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO).

If Coke Follows Pepsi’s Bottling Roll-Up (PEP, PAS, PBG, KO, COKE, CCE, KOF, CCH

pepsi-logoThis morning’s news of Pepsico Inc. (NYSE: PEP) offering to acquire bottling affiliates PepsiAmericas Inc. (NYSE: PAS) and Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. (NYSE: PBG) may be a surprise to some, but it is far from a shock.  Having multiple companies processing different parts of the same business may not be the most efficient model under certain circumstances.  Interestingly enough, The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) has a similar structure with affiliated entities that are outside publicly traded stocks.

coke-logoCoca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (COKE), Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: CCE), Coca-Cola FEMSA S.A.B de CV (NYSE: KOF), and Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. (NYSE: CCH) are all affiliated companies.
