Is PepsiCo stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing PepsiCo stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of PepsiCo's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

PepsiCo's P/E ratio

PepsiCo's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 24x. In other words, PepsiCo shares trade at around 24x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

PepsiCo's PEG ratio

PepsiCo's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9238. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into PepsiCo's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

PepsiCo's EBITDA

PepsiCo's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $16.9 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a PepsiCo's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

PepsiCo's environmental, social and governance track record

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like PepsiCo.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

PepsiCo's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 25.64

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and PepsiCo's overall score of 25.64 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 30th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like PepsiCo is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

PepsiCo's environmental score

Environmental score: 12.22/100

PepsiCo's environmental score of 12.22 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that PepsiCo is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

PepsiCo's social score

Social score: 11.8/100

PepsiCo's social score of 11.8 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that PepsiCo is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

PepsiCo's governance score

Governance score: 9.62/100

PepsiCo's governance score puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that PepsiCo is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

PepsiCo's controversy score

Controversy score: 3/5

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. PepsiCo scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that PepsiCo hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) summary

PepsiCo Inc was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Total ESG score 25.64
Total ESG percentile 30.46
Environmental score 12.22

PepsiCo stock dividends

67%

Dividend payout ratio: 67.04% of net profits

Recently PepsiCo has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), PepsiCo shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PepsiCo's case, that would currently equate to about $5.24 per share.

PepsiCo's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

PepsiCo's most recent dividend payout was on 5 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 5 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have PepsiCo's stocks ever split?

PepsiCo's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 28 May 1996 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your PepsiCo stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for PepsiCo stocks, which in turn could have impacted PepsiCo's stock price.

PepsiCo stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, PepsiCo's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $155.85 up to $180.5896. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

PEP.US volatility(beta: 0.54)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while PepsiCo's is 0.542. This would suggest that PepsiCo's stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
