Summary

  • $5.92 per share is PepsiCo's new annualized dividend after a 4% board-approved increase, extending its payout-growth streak to 54 consecutive years and preserving its Dividend King status.
  • A 75% payout ratio underpins the increase, while the company’s operating trends have improved after it shifted from repeated price hikes to price cuts aimed at reviving demand.
  • Revenue rose 2.6% in the first quarter and 2.4% in the second, with sales volumes contributing to growth after nine straight quarters of volume declines.
  • That marks a change from 2025, when PepsiCo's 2% annual revenue gain came entirely from pricing—up 4 percentage points—while volume cut 2 points, highlighting why the recent volume recovery matters.
