Pepsi said core earnings for the three months ending in December came in at $1.49 per share, rising 13.7% from the same period last year and matching the Street consensus forecast. Group revenues were also in-line with estimates, but were essentially flat from the prior year period at $19.524 billion. Pepsi also said it would boost its annual dividend by 3% to $3.82 per share.
Amazon Pulls the Plug on NYC HQ2

“After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens. For Amazon, the commitment to build a new headquarters requires positive, collaborative relationships with state and local elected officials who will be supportive over the long-term,” Amazon said in a statement.
The company noted that some polls show that as many as 70% of New Yorkers would welcome the company to the city.
