Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. Under Fire: A Valuation Analysis

Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (KDP) closed at a lackluster $33.67 on the last trading day, a far cry from its 52-week high of $38.28 reached on September 23, 2024. But what’s even more alarming is the company’s 52-week low of $30.12, recorded on January 12, 2025 - a stark reminder of the volatility that lies beneath its surface.

The numbers don’t lie: Keurig Dr Pepper’s price-to-earnings ratio stands at a staggering 29.9, a clear indication that investors are willing to pay a premium for the company’s shares. But is this valuation justified? We think not. With a price-to-book ratio of 1.83, it’s clear that the company is overvalued, and investors are taking a significant risk by buying in.

Here are the cold, hard facts:

  • 52-week high: $38.28 (September 23, 2024)
  • 52-week low: $30.12 (January 12, 2025)
  • Price-to-earnings ratio: 29.9
  • Price-to-book ratio: 1.83

It’s time to take a hard look at Keurig Dr Pepper’s valuation metrics and ask the tough questions: is this company truly worth the investment, or is it just a bubble waiting to burst?
