No financial decision-maker should ever rely solely on the financial information reported in the annual report to make decisions. It is important to keep abreast of financial news. This activity demonstrates how to search for financial news on the Internet.

Instructions

Search the Internet for an article on either PepsiCo or Coca-Cola that sounds interesting to you and that would be relevant to an investor in these companies, and then answer the following questions.

What was the source of the article (e.g., Reuters, Businesswire, Prnewswire)? Assume that you are a personal financial planner and that some of your clients own stock in the company. Write a brief memo to these clients summarizing the article and explaining the implications of the article for their investment.
