2 Dividend Stocks Down 12% in 2026 to Buy in October and Never Sell
PepsiCo and Hershey sell everyday brands that can belong in a buy-and-never-sell dividend portfolio.
PepsiCo(NASDAQ: PEP) and Hershey(NYSE: HSY) are both down about 12.5% year to date, as of Oct. 1, 2026. Both sell everyday brands people buy year-round, and that steady demand helps support generous dividends for income investors.
With stable sales from soft drinks, chocolate, and snacks, these can be anchor dividend stocks you hold for decades -- as long as the investment case holds up.

Today, both still have enough going for them to justify buying the dip and holding for the long haul.
