PepsiCo: Big DividendsFor My Passive Income Portfolio

Last Friday I put 20 PepsiCo (PEP) shares into the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio (DYPI). The total purchase amount was $1,422 which represents roughly 1.4 percent of the whole portfolio net worth.

PepsiCo is a global food and beverage company. It’s the second biggest soft drink producer and distributor in North-America (behind Coca Cola (KO)) and a Dividend Champion with 40 years of consecutive dividend growth. Additionally, it owns a number of other businesses - ranging from fruit juices and other non carbonated drinks to bottled water and breakfast cereal. PepsiCo's most important division is its food products division, which consists of Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats.

The DYPI-Portfolio was funded virtual with $100,000 on October 04, 2012. I like to show you with this experiment that you can make money with dividend stocks if you are a wise, disciplined and patient investor with a long-term investment horizon.

I have realized a double-digit return since I started investing money into stocks. I lost much money over years - that's part of the business. But I also have owned stocks with a great total return that paid off.

One of my trading accounts with the longest performance history shows that I made a six-figure gross income with stock trading over the recent decade. One third of my profits came from dividends and two third were capital gains.

Investing money into dividend stocks is not a one-way strategy to trading success. It’s hard work but should also be fun.

Why did I put PepsiCo into the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio?

My first thoughts were that I don’t have enough low beta stocks with a higher capitalization and a broader diversified business model. PepsiCo is not a cheap stock. The company has a current P/E ratio of 18.90 and the forward P/E is expected at 16.07. Earnings growth is weak for the time being. For the next year, earnings per share are expected to grow by 8.62 percent and for the next five years the growth is expected at 6.18 percent.

PepsiCo is a must-have investment for a long-term dividend growth investor like me. I own the company personally despite the fact that the performance was very weak within recent years. I hold roughly 2.79 percent of my full real net worth in the company. My biggest position is still Philip Morris (PM) with 6.87 percent portfolio share.

The PepsiCo stake will give me around $45 dividend income per year. The full portfolio dividend income is estimated at $800. I will put more stocks into the DYPI-Portfolio. As of now I own around 15 stocks and have still $78,926.55 in cash for further stock acquisitions.

At the end of the year 2013 the total number of shares in the portfolio should count 50 – 70. As a result, the yearly dividend income will grow to 3,000 – 4,000. For the upcoming 10 years, this amount should double. At least, that's my goal.
