PepsiCo

PepsiCo is one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, spanning soft drinks under the Pepsi brand, Gatorade sports drinks and a dominant snacks business through Frito-Lay and Quaker. That combination of drinks and salty snacks gives it a diversified, defensive footprint across everyday consumption in nearly every major market. PepsiCo has raised its dividend every year for close to four decades, one of the most reliable records among consumer staples. The yield is moderate and supported by steady, recurring demand for its brands and strong pricing power. Its solid score reflects a dependable, consistently rising distribution, making it a classic income holding for investors who value durability over rapid growth.
