PepsiCo Inc. Is a ‘Dividend Aristocrat’ Worth Waiting For

Value investors might want to wait on PEP stock for a more attractive entry point.




PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) is a Dividend Aristocrat worth holding, but at the moment PEP stock is not worth buying.

The Dividend Aristocrats are a select group of 51 companies in the S&P 500 Index, with 25+ consecutive years of dividend increases.

Additionally, PepsiCo stock is one of 350 dividend-paying stocks in the consumer staples sector. You can see the full list of all 350 consumer staples dividend stocks here.

PepsiCo stock offers a solid 2.8% dividend yield, and has increased its dividend for 45 years in a row. PepsiCo’s valuation is not a screaming bargain right now, but it is rarely a dirt-cheap stock. The company appears to be trading around the high end of fair value at current prices for PEP stock.
