PepsiCo stock holds near 52-week low as dividend and guidance support valuation

PepsiCo stock is trading close to the lower end of its 52-week range, but steady dividend payments and reaffirmed 2026 earnings guidance are providing a supporting framework for valuation-conscious investors.

PepsiCo Inc. (ISIN US7134481081) stock is trading around 140 USD per share as of September 2, 2026 on the Nasdaq, close to the lower end of its 52-week range between roughly 133.59 USD and 171.31 USD according to recent market data for PEP shares.

Stock near 52-week low with dividend yield above 4 percent

Recent quotation snapshots show PepsiCo stock opening at about 139.79 USD on the Nasdaq on September 2, 2026, with the share price hovering only a few dollars above its 52-week low near 133.59 USD and well below the 52-week high around 171.31 USD, underscoring a subdued valuation compared with its past-year trading corridor.

Market overviews compiled in early September 2026 indicate that PepsiCo’s quarterly dividend is set at 1.48 USD per share, which translates into an annualized dividend of 5.92 USD and a dividend yield of approximately 4.2 percent at a share price around 140 USD, a level that may appeal to income-oriented investors focusing on consumer staples.

Latest quarterly figures show mid-single-digit revenue growth

In its most recently reported quarter of fiscal 2026, PepsiCo generated revenue of 24.18 billion USD, an increase of 6.4 percent compared with the same quarter a year earlier, demonstrating that the group is still able to expand its top line despite more cautious demand trends in some regions.

For the same reporting period in fiscal 2026, PepsiCo reported earnings per share of 2.20 USD, slightly above the consensus estimate of 2.19 USD, while posting a net margin of 10.78 percent and a return on equity of 54.63 percent, signalling solid profitability metrics that underpin its ability to keep funding dividends and reinvestment.

Guidance and analyst view frame expectations

For fiscal 2026, PepsiCo has reaffirmed an earnings per share guidance range between 8.55 USD and 8.71 USD, with analyst consensus forecasts clustering close to 8.57 USD per share, suggesting expectations for continued earnings progression even as the company navigates softer demand in some markets and operational challenges such as facility damage in Ukraine.

Dividend information compiled for global markets shows that shareholders of record on September 4, 2026 are scheduled to receive the 1.48 USD quarterly dividend on September 30, 2026, reinforcing the impression of a predictable cash-return profile that some investors may see as compensation for the share price trading near its 52-week low.

Pepsi brand and sports partnership as revenue driver

Alongside its globally known Pepsi-Cola soft drinks, Gatorade sports beverages and snack brands such as Lay’s and Doritos, PepsiCo continues to invest in marketing partnerships to support volumes; for example, recent agreements naming PepsiCo as the official soft drink partner at major sports and leisure venues highlight how the portfolio remains anchored in consumption occasions ranging from everyday refreshment to live events.

PepsiCo stock price context for investors

As of the latest available closing data for September 2, 2026, PepsiCo stock is quoted at about 140.52 USD on the Nasdaq, placing it near the lower end of its 52-week trading range and implying that any return of demand momentum or margin expansion could have a visible impact on the share price from this subdued level.
