    Looking good, but the stock is already overpriced at a forward P/E of over 16.

    Not surprising with the yield at 3.1% that a lot of conservative portfolios are snapping this one up.

    It's definitely a stock I would recommend to a 50+ year old as part of a large diversified blue chip portfolio.

    I was interested in grabbing some more PEP myself but the P/E stopped me too. Much better deals available right now.

    It's going to be harder to make it thru the day without Warren Buffet making money off you....

    For a consumer defensive stock with the prowess of PepsiCo I don't see a 16 PE ratio being too much of a concern. Companies like PEP, PG, etc are going to trade at a premium PE to the overall market. During 2007 and 2008 PEP had a high PE range of 23-25. A 16 PE ratio actually doesn't come along that often on PEP. 2008-2011 it's low range was 12-15 PE.
