A caller asked if it is finally time to buy PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) or if they should stay as far away as possible. Here’s what Cramer had to say:

“Okay, no, no. It yields 4%. It’s a very well-run company. I think that Pepsi, I think you can start a position here at 16 times earnings. I think that they’re going to right the ship. I do not think that Ramon Laguarta is going to just sit there and just say, you know what? I’m done taking this. I think he’s going to make some moves. With a 4% yield. I would start buying, and I have not been positive in PepsiCo for some time.”
