PepsiCo's stock (NASDAQ:PEP) has significantly lagged this year, recording a 10% decrease, while its competitor, Coca-Cola stock (NYSE:KO), has experienced a 16% rise. This contrast is mainly attributed to the sluggish North American operations for PepsiCo. The company has encountered a decline in consumer interest for its Frito-Lay snack sector and has dealt with a substantial recall in its Quaker Foods North America branch (oatmeal).
PepsiCo's dividend yield is at a decade high, but free cash flow hasn't covered dividends in 2 of the last 3 years—this is unsustainable. Recent acquisitions, like Poppi, add pressure to Pepsi's balance sheet, making future dividend growth and sustainability uncertain if they don't deliver immediate returns. Pepsi's lower valuation multiple is justified by slowing earnings growth and a weaker free cash flow profile compared to Coca-Cola, which has stronger fundamentals.
In the closing of the recent trading day, PepsiCo (PEP) stood at $135.26, denoting a +2.44% move from the preceding trading day.
