PepsiCo share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 54.26% of net profits
Recently PepsiCo has paid out, on average, around 54.26% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.7% 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 4.7% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In PepsiCo's case, that would currently equate to about 5.623 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 30 September 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 4 September 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have PepsiCo's shares ever split?
PepsiCo's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 29 May 1996. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your PepsiCo shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for PepsiCo shares which in turn could have impacted PepsiCo's share price.
