PepsiCo stock (PEP) steadies after new U.S. dietary rules take aim at sugar, processed snacks

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 15:19 EST — Regular session PepsiCo (PEP.O) shares were little changed on Friday after new U.S. dietary guidelines urged Americans to avoid sugar-sweetened beverages and cut back on salty or sweet processed foods such as chips and cookies. The stock was up about 0.3% at $139.77 in afternoon trading, after ranging from $138.70 to $140.78.

New York, January 9, 2026, 15:28 EST — Regular session L3Harris Technologies (LHX.N) shares rose 2.8% to $334.84 in afternoon trading on Friday, after touching $337.97 earlier in the session.
