PEP: all at once or every month?
Take $12,000: all of it on day one, or $1,000 a month for a year. Across every starting month since 1985 (491 of them), the lump sum was ahead after 12 months in 365 (74%). The lump sum usually won, but roughly one start in 4 favored spreading it out. The best case for monthly investing was a start in September 2008, when it finished the year 29% ahead.
Worst drop
PEP's worst fall in this history was -35.7%, a deep bear-market fall, from November 2007 to February 2009. Getting back to the old high took until May 2011: 27 months from the bottom and 3.5 years from the peak. $1,000 invested at that peak shrank to about $643 at the low.
PepsiCo dividends
PEP paid $5.81 per share over the last 12 months, quarterly. At $142.71 that is 4.07%, a high yield, so a large part of the return arrives as cash. From 2020 to 2025 the yearly payout grew +6.9% a year, steadily. The yearly total did not fall once in the last ten years. Amounts are adjusted for splits.

About PepsiCo
| Company | PepsiCo, Inc. |
| Listed | NYSE until 2017, now Nasdaq |
| Sector | Consumer staples (food and beverages) |
| Dividend | Raised every year for 50+ years |
PepsiCo is more than Pepsi. More than half its sales come from snacks and food such as Frito-Lay chips, Doritos and Quaker Oats, alongside drinks such as Gatorade and Mountain Dew.
PepsiCo moved its stock listing from the NYSE to the Nasdaq in 2017. It has raised its dividend every year for more than five decades, and its rivalry with Coca-Cola makes for a classic comparison.
