Got $1,000 to Invest? Skip Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. This 4%-Yielding Dividend Stock Could Deliver a 160% Return in 10 Years.
Key PointsCoca-Cola and PepsiCo are dependable dividend stocks, but their valuations and modest earnings growth prospects could limit their long-term returns.
Investors seeking higher income and growth could look beyond popular dividend stocks like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. McCormick (MKC), a global leader in flavors and seasonings, may offer a more attractive combination of income and growth potential. Currently yielding over 4%, McCormick's acquisition of Unilever's food business could substantially boost its earnings and valuation.
If assumptions hold, a $1,000 investment in McCormick could grow to approximately $2,600 over a decade, delivering a 160% return. While the stock trades at a discount compared to Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, the potential upside associated with the Unilever Foods merger could make McCormick an appealing option for long-term investors.
