Details of the settlement could not be learnt, the Wall Street Journal said.
PepsiCo is reportedly nearing a settlement with activist investor Elliott Investment Management who sought changes at the company in September to reverse a slump in sales.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter that an announcement could come soon. Details of the settlement could not be learnt, it added.
