PepsiCo Is Struggling While Coca-Cola Hits All-Time Highs. Here's Whether the Discount Makes PEP Worth Buying.
While Coca-Cola has surged 28% year-to-date with stronger earnings growth and higher margins, PepsiCo has fallen 29% from its highs despite still growing revenue and earnings. PepsiCo's lower valuation (16x forward P/E vs. Coca-Cola's 27x) and higher dividend yield (4.2% vs. 2.35%) may present a buying opportunity for dividend investors, though Coca-Cola's superior execution in a challenging economy has justified its outperformance.
