Quote of the Week
Dividend Investing is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
It’s not about quick wins, it’s about long-term success. Keep pacing yourself, and dividends will take you across the finish line.
Dividend Hike of the Week: PepsiCo (PEP)
Dividend Increase: +5%. 53 consecutive years. Proven dividend aristocrat.
PepsiCo (PEP) just gave you a dividend hike of the week, raising its payout by 5% to $5.69 per share annually. That bumps the yield to 3.9%, keeping its streak alive with 53 consecutive years of increases. Over the past three years, dividends have climbed 7.86%, and even with a 77.99% payout ratio, PepsiCo is still throwing cash your way.
This kind of consistency comes from a global empire spanning snacks, beverages, and convenience foods. While North American snack sales saw a slowdown, international markets helped PepsiCo pull in $27.78 billion in Q4 2024 revenue. Adjusted EPS hit $1.96, topping estimates despite softer domestic demand.
If you want steady income backed by a powerhouse that knows how to navigate market shifts, PepsiCo just sweetened the deal.
