If you look at my portfolio you'll notice that it's lacking exposure to the food industry. Specifically those weekly repeat purchase foods such as potato chips and other snack foods. Coca-Cola is my only current exposure there and I'd like to have at least another company working for me. While compiling my watchlist last week in anticipation of further weakness in the markets, I mentioned that Pepsi would be a good fit because I'd get to own the other half of the cola duopoly in addition to a wonderful snack food business. Pepsi closed trading on Friday, October 11th at $80.83, offering a current yield of 2.81%. I had last looked at Pepsi back in November of 2012, so it's time to update my analysis to see what's has changed and if it still represents good value.
