This Dividend King Yielding 4X the S&P 500 Looks Like a Buy Right Now
PepsiCo stock has frustrated investors for at least five years, but it's starting to look worthy of buying.
Despite growth and technology stocks receiving more attention, consumer staples companies often go unnoticed. PepsiCo, a major player in this sector, has been a disappointment. Over the past five years, the beverage giant has only managed to deliver a paltry 3.3% return, far outpacing the S&P 500's 84.2% gain. In 2026, PepsiCo's situation has only worsened.
As of now, the stock is trading down 2.1% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 has surged 12.2%. However, there are signs of potential recovery that could make PepsiCo an attractive option for investors seeking long-term equity income.
