For Cadbury, candy looks sweeter than soda

Article Abstract:

There are a couple of theories as to what it means that Cadbury Schweppes P.L.C. sold off its international beverage business, keeping Dr. Pepper and 7Up in the U.S., France and South Africa. One theory is that the last two beverages wouldn't sell for a good enough price with sales of 7Up declining; and if the company can turn that around, then why would it want to sell? There is general agreement that the firm will invest more in its confectionery business than soft drinks.

He has told others recently that even in developing countries, consumers can spend what it takes to buy a soda. Analysts aren't so sure.
