Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) has plans to bolster its business by branching into the energy drink market with the billion-dollar acquisition of energy-drink maker Ghost. This disruptive move is expected to energize KDP's stocks. KDP has witnessed a fluctuation in its shares, with the news of the top shareholder, JAB, selling 60 million shares bringing about a slide. However, despite the varying stock price, KDP's investment from International Assets Investment Management LLC was significantly boosted. Amidst these transitions, KDP also announced some changes in its board. Even though the sales estimates missed their mark, KDP has stuck to their fiscal 2024 guidance. Its strategic decision to incorporate Ghost into its portfolio is expected to direct KDP's focus to expanding international growth, as is evident from initiatives in places like Mexico and Canada. However, KDP has faced some challenges including the SEC charging regarding inaccurate K-cup recyclability claims and a hefty fine. Despite these trials, the expansion in the energy drink market could position KDP to become even more competitive.
