PepsiCo’s stock has dropped by 23% over the past year, prompting a closer look at the company’s prospects. Despite a 1% increase in first-quarter revenue, operating profitability dropped by 1%. The company expects a low-single-digit percentage increase in revenue for the year and flat earnings per share compared to 2024 due to economic challenges like inflation and tariffs. However, PepsiCo remains optimistic about its long-term prospects. The company recently raised its quarterly dividend by 5%, marking 53 consecutive years of dividend increases and offering a 4.3% dividend yield. The stock’s price-to-earnings ratio has fallen from 27 to 19, making it a more attractive valuation. Investors interested in dividends and patient enough to wait for economic recovery may find PepsiCo to be a good choice.
