Friday, April 26, 6:51 PM Pepsi (PEP) is unlikely to buy Mondelez (MDLZ), according to reports in dealReporter, as PEP appears likely to stick with "healthy" food options, and expressed concern about antitrust issues.

Friday, April 19, 8:29 AM Nelson Peltz discloses stakes in Mondelez (MDLZ) and PepsiCo (PEP), following earlier reports the billionaire could be pushing for a merger of the food giants, and PEP says it has held meetings with Peltz's Trian Fund Management in recent weeks to consider its "ideas and initiatives" for long-term growth. Trian says it owned 3.9M PEP shares and 19.4M shares in MDLZ as of Dec. 31. MDLZ +2.3%, PEP +0.8% premarket. 5 Comments [Consumer, M&A, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 17, 10:11 AM More analysis on the rumored PepsiCo (PEP) - Mondelez International (MDLZ -0.8%) combination (previous): JPMorgan's John Faucher is a major skeptic that PepsiCo will be willing to merge Frito-Lay with Mondelez even with activist investors on the scene. The analyst notes a tax-advantaged Reverse Morris Trust transaction is unlikely due to the size of the potential deal while an outright buy of MDLZ would be too pricey. 11 Comments [M&A, Consumer]
Monday, April 15, 10:12 AM Speculation over a potential marriage between Mondelez International (MDLZ) and PepsiCo's (PEP) snacks food business looks even more intriguing after Pershing Square makes an investment in Mondelez, according to dealReporter. The 13-F which just became public due to a confidentiality clause only covers the purchases Pershing Square made up until December 31. Next month's round of 13-F filing releases will tell a clearer story on which firm might be pushing the board. (Previous: Nelson Pulz invests in MDLZ) 1 Comment [Consumer]

Monday, March 25, 11:15 AM Citigroup calls a potential takeover by Pepsico (PEP -0.8%) of Mondelez (MDLZ +0.9%) very reasonable to all parties. Even if PepsiCo doesn't pull the trigger, Mondelez is seen as a tasty treat for a different large food company. (Previous: PepsiCo pushes back at MDLZ buyout idea) 8 Comments [Consumer, M&A]
Friday, March 22, 12:30 PM PepsiCo (PEP +3.7%) issues a statement indicating it doesn't see a need to make any large acquisitions after a British newspaper suggested Nelson Peltz might push for a merger between the company and Mondelez International (MDLZ +4.8%). An underlying debate with PepsiCo still exists on if more value for shareholders exists by separating the snacks and beverage sides of the business into two separate companies. 4 Comments [Consumer]
