Our PAST TOP PICK with KHC has triggered its stop at $38. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 11%, when combined with our previous recommendation to cover half the position.
The Kraft Heinz Co. engages in the manufacture and market of food and beverage products. It operates through the North America and International geographical segments. The company was founded on July 2, 2015, and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA. Social media mentions are up 1300% in the past 24h.
Consumer staples are outperforming in the last few days, and that speaks to the advantage of having a balanced portfolio. Companies like KHC, UL, KVUE, and Nestle. It's not that they won't be affected (their costs would go up), but they're far less cyclical than other businesses. Earnings will be much more stable. Earnings could fall 10%, but not 50%. Dividends will be sustained.
Companies like Unilever and Nestle are huge in NA, but huge globally as well.
Will probably do well if recession. Not expensive at ~11x forward PE, but tends to always be cheap. Nice dividend yield. Very low ROC; won't get rid of underperforming brands. You're better off owning one of the grocers.
