What Is the Dividend Payout for PepsiCo?
(NASDAQ: PEP) is blue-blooded royalty among blue chip stocks. I mean that almost literally, as the veteran drinks and snacks purveyor is a Dividend King, one of a very small group of S 500 index component stocks that has declared a dividend raise every year for a minimum of 50 years running.
In many ways, PepsiCo is the model of an income stock, with its dividend being a crucial part of the company's appeal. Let's pick apart the payout a bit to determine whether the shares are a worthwhile investment.
These days, PepsiCo doles out a quarterly dividend of just under $1.36 per share. Annualized, that figure is $5.42 per share, which produces a dividend yield of almost 3.2% on the stock's recent closing price. That's high enough to keep the stock attractive, as the average yield of S 500 index stocks is less than half that percentage, at a shade under 1.3%.
