There Are Only a Handful of Nasdaq-100 Stocks That Yield Over 3%. Here's My Top Pick to Buy in September.

Only a limited number of Nasdaq-100 stocks offer yields of over 3%. Among them, PepsiCo (PEP) stands out with a 4.3% yield, significantly higher than the S&P 500's 1% and the typical 2.1% for consumer staples. This high yield results from PepsiCo's diversified product range, including beverages, snacks, and food products, allowing it more growth opportunities.

Despite a 2.4% organic sales growth in Q2 2026, lower than Coca-Cola's 6%, PepsiCo's dividend streak, spanning 54 years, demonstrates its robust business strategy. Investing in PepsiCo today provides an attractive yield while the company adjusts its brand portfolio, aligning with market trends.
