PepsiCo hits highest dividend yield since 1990s amid market challenges, seen as a strong buy by analyst.

PepsiCo, owner of over 30 billion-dollar brands, faces challenges in its North American beverage segment, losing market share to competitors like Coca-Cola. Despite this, its free cash flow yield is nearly 5%, the highest in a decade, and its dividend yield stands at 4.3%, the highest since the early 1990s. The company has increased dividends for 54 consecutive years, earning it the status of a dividend king. An analyst has rated PepsiCo as a 'Buy' and has started purchasing shares, ready to buy more if the stock price declines further.
