"PepsiCo's trailing 12-month (TTM) price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is fairly reasonable at 28.49x, and the company's stock features a forward annual dividend yield of 3.73%. That's a tasty yield, and since PepsiCo generated nearly $24 billion in net revenue during the 12 weeks ended September 6, 2025, the company shouldn't have any problems paying its dividends. Of course, high yield isn't the full story as some stocks that pay big dividends suffer from serious share-price erosion."
"You might not expect this, but PepsiCo actually trades on the Nasdaq exchange, not the New York Stock Exchange. Yet, unlike some Nasdaq-listed large-cap companies, PepsiCo isn't an overvalued technology firm that's riding high on the artificial intelligence (AI) trend. Instead, PepsiCo just keeps on selling sodas and snacks while the trends come and go. Like the other stocks on this list, PEP stock is considered to be defensive because it's an all-weather asset that tends to hold up relatively well during economic downturns."
Three dividend-paying stocks were identified as ideal long-term holdings, with PepsiCo highlighted as a primary choice. PepsiCo is a blue-chip beverage and snack manufacturer that trades on the Nasdaq. The company consistently sells sodas and snacks and acts as a defensive, all-weather asset that tends to hold up during economic downturns. PepsiCo's trailing 12-month P/E is 28.49x and the forward annual dividend yield is 3.73%. PepsiCo generated nearly $24 billion in net revenue during the 12 weeks ended September 6, 2025, supporting the company’s ability to sustain dividend payments despite yield-related risks.
