"PepsiCo's fourth quarter revenue came in at $29.34B, growing 5.6% year over year, with the headline beat driven by international segments. EMEA revenue surged 12%, and operating profit in that segment jumped 72%, a standout result that offset softer North American volumes."
"Coca-Cola's quarter was cleaner. Full-year net income rose 23.29% to $13.11B, and operating income climbed 37.73% to $13.76B, impressive for a company running on roughly half PepsiCo's revenue base."
"PepsiCo's annualized dividend of $5.92 per share reflects a 4% raise, its 54th consecutive annual increase. Coca-Cola holds the longer streak at 63 consecutive years of dividend increases, and its balance sheet supports continuity."
PepsiCo reported fourth quarter revenue of $29.34B, growing 5.6% year over year, driven by international segments, particularly EMEA. However, full-year net income fell 13.97% due to intangible asset impairments. In contrast, Coca-Cola's full-year net income rose 23.29% to $13.11B, with operating income climbing 37.73%. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar significantly contributed to its margin strength, despite a slight revenue miss in Q4. Both companies are Dividend Kings, with PepsiCo offering a higher yield and Coca-Cola maintaining a longer streak of dividend increases.
