- Pays: quarterly — 217 dividends in our record since September 1972.
- The tradition: PepsiCo's declared-raise streak runs past five decades by the company's count; our calendar-year sums show 27 consecutive rising years, with older flat spots from payment-date shifts.
- Current rate: $1.48 per quarter after the June 2026 raise (from $1.423, about 4%) — $5.75 over the trailing twelve months.
- Today's yield: about 4.0% on the recent ~$142.27 share price — extraordinary territory for a Dividend King, the product of a multi-year price slump meeting an ever-rising payout.
- What funds it: Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Quaker — snacks and drinks bought weekly in nearly every country.
A 4% yield from a King-tier raise streak is rare — historically PEP yielded closer to 2.5-3%. The gap is price, not payout: the shares have slumped on GLP-1-era snack-demand fears while the dividend rose to $5.75 per share. Whether the market's worry or the record's persistence wins is the live question; the checks, meanwhile, keep arriving and keep growing.
Each point is one PEP dividend since September 1972 — 217 of them, funded by the world's snack aisles.

"Next expected" is estimated from PEP's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.
A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.

PepsiCo's raise tradition spans five decades, and June 2026 extended it — about 4%, to $1.48 a quarter. What's unusual is the price attached: at roughly $142 the stock yields near 4.0%, the kind of number PEP historically never offered. The market is pricing real worries (weight-loss drugs reshaping snack demand chief among them) against a payout record that has absorbed every consumer scare since 1972. That tension is the whole investment case, in both directions.
The royal-family comparisons — KO, PG, JNJ — all yield less today, which is exactly why the compare tool overlay is worth a look before choosing among them.

When Is PEP's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
PEP pays quarterly — usually going ex-dividend in March, June, September, and December. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from PEP's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
Fifty-Four Years From the Snack Aisle
Our PepsiCo record starts in September 1972 and holds 217 quarterly dividends, paid from the cash registers of nearly every grocery store on earth — Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Quaker. The trailing year paid $5.75 per share, and June 2026 delivered the latest raise, roughly 4%, to $1.48 per quarter.
Why the Yield Says Four Percent
For most of its modern history PEP was a 2.5-3% stock; today it yields about 4.0% on the recent $142.27 price. The payout didn't leap — the price sagged, as the market weighs whether GLP-1-era appetites permanently shrink the snacks business. The result is a genuine rarity on this site: dynasty-grade dividend history at a yield competitive with REITs. The bull reads that as the market overpaying its fears; the bear reads it as fair warning. The record just shows five decades of raises, including this one.
PEP Against the Field
Within the royal family, PEP is now the yield leader — above KO and PG, nearly triple JNJ — at the cost of the market's loudest doubts. The estimator below compounds 4% at a King's raise pace, and the compare tool sets the record against anything else we chart. Next expected date on the live calendar.
