PepsiCo, KO, FIZZ, Monster Soda Stocks

PepsiCo, Inc - symbol: PEP current stock price is 79.11 with a dividend yield that many would find interesting at 2.72% they have an earnings per share of 3.93 and a price to earnings ratio at 20.16 they currently have a market cap of 122.05 billion dollars. Pepsi is a global food and beverage provider and one of the best in the business. So you are thinking soda stock? why would I buy into that? Well they are earnings massive profits with a decent dividend yield so it would seem a good time to buy them was when the price is right. PepsiCo, Inc stock is a good stock to have because you know that they are going to make profits for many years to come. 

The Coca Cola Company -symbol: KO current stock price is at 40.44 with a dividend yield at 2.77% when you are looking at Coke stock you realize that they are the king of the industry. Earnings per share is 1.97 with a price to earnings ratio 20.56 so it's a little more expensive based on valuation at this point than it's competitor Pepsi. If I'm choosing which company I would rather drink I will go with Pepsi but in business I'm running with The Coca Cola Company all the way. 

Monster Beverage Corp - symbol: MNST current stock price is at 47.74 and has no dividend. This is essentially a stock that you buy if you think they can earn more money and do better than they are doing now. Earnings per share is only at 1.87 leaving the price to earnings at 25.51 and a market cap at 7.90 billion dollars. I think that generally speaking Monster is struggling because of all the reports about how bad energy drinks can be for you. This could be a real problem due to the fear of drinking them. Monster Beverage Corp was near 80 last summer but now finds itself heading to half of that. I can't say that I am going to buy them here. 

National Beverage Corp - symbol: FIZZ they issue a rare dividend here and there but primarily haven't been consistent. The dividend yield is at 2.55% the earnings per share is at 0.99 putting the profit to earnings at 14.24 with a market cap at 650.62 million the manufacture a lot of the juice and water that you see around your local grocery stores. Take a look at this company if you are looking to invest but make sure that you do all your own research and invest with caution.

These soda stocks are great and almost all of them should have a bright future. When you are investing in dividend paying soda stocks you have to decide what you think will be the best for you in terms of percentage but at the same time all of them that pay a dividend are right around the same dividend yield. Probably best to choose one that you think will have the most growth and continues to gain more and more revenue along the way.
