PepsiCo reported revenue of nearly $44 billion in the first half of fiscal 2026, up more than 7% from the year-ago period, as a shift toward healthier beverages and snacks helped revive growth.

The stock trades at 18 times earnings, below Coca-Cola's 26 multiple, and offers a $5.92-per-share annual dividend yielding around 4.1%, compared with Coca-Cola's 2.4% yield.

The company's stock has fallen about 18% from its 52-week high, but the improving financials could set the stage for a rally in the second half of 2026.
