Beverage (Non-Alcoholic) Stocks

You Didn’t Even Know You Loved Pepsi’s Stock!
Excerpt:

if you’re not a Pepsi investor, then you might not realize all the products this company sells. These products include Gatorade, Tropicana, Aquafina, Sierra Mist, 7UP, Mountain Dew, Cheetos, Lays, Doritos, Cap’n Crunch, and much more. That being the case, there’s a pretty good chance that you don’t even realize how much of a role Pepsi plays in your life. There’s also a good chance that you love at least one of their products.

Regardless of your taste buds or overall diet, Pepsi has a history of increasing its dividend, which makes investors quite pleased. This is also a low-beta stock, which means you don’t have to worry about volatility too much. Pepsi might have slipped a little during the financial crisis of 2008/2009, but it was nothing compared to the drastic falls other companies experienced at that time. Pepsi was the equivalent of a secure lean-to during a landslide. As other stocks slid away, Pepsi found a safe location and waited out the storm.
