Shareholder activism is underway involving Elliott Investment Management regarding both PepsiCo and Kraft Heinz. While evaluating the companies, reports noted that Kraft Heinz trades at a significantly lower valuation than PepsiCo based on the price-to-sales ratio as of September 18. This evaluation occurs despite the fact that investors cannot use the price-to-earnings ratio for Kraft Heinz due to its lack of earnings.
