“This is Bad News for Pepsi Stock... | Pepsi (PEP) Stock Analysis! |”

Bearish on PEP due to unsustainable capital allocation where dividends consume ~100% of FCF; DDM fair value of $105 implies 26% downside.

Pepsi stock continues to be one of the most debated stocks among investors right now, and really it's been that way over the last couple of years. Ultimately, if we jump over to the dividend breakdown sheet and look at Pepsi, what you can see is the stock is yielding over 4%, which real quick for reference, if we look here on Seeking Alpha and look at the historical dividend yield, this is the highest dividend yield the company has seen in the last decade.

“5 Dividend Stocks at a 52 Week Low!”

Avoid PEP due to stagnant free cash flow and excessive payout ratio preventing sustainable growth.

Now, we have Pepsi stock, a stock I've been very critical of over the last couple of years. I've warned investors of the potential issues that are looming with this stock, the issues that are currently going on, and as a result, we can see those issues have come to fruition, and the stock is at a 52-week low.

In fact, the 5-year returns now for Pepsi are minus 11%, which is mind-blowing to think about for a stock that is this much of a staple in our economy. But, that's the reality that we're looking at right now.
