Analysts have pointed to two significant reasons for Mondelez International Inc's stock weakness: the end of pantry-stuffing trends from the Covid era and surging cocoa prices driven by plant diseases in West Africa. The current market situation presents a reasonable entry point for long-term investors, but it carries risks, especially as rising cocoa costs may not allow the company to pass on prices to consumers without losing market share. Furthermore, challenges persist with increased input costs, shifts towards healthier eating, and the impact of GLP-1 drugs on snack consumption, alongside foreign exchange issues affecting revenue in USD terms. Ultimately, while there are headwinds, some analysts remain optimistic about the stock's potential for long-term value amidst a generally stagnant consumer staples and packaged food industry.
Came out of Kraft, as the snack piece. Growing well organically, 6.3% y/y. Prides itself on stability. Snacks are evolving; there are healthy options. Worldwide opportunity for expansion, sub-20x earnings, good dividend. The side of the barbell that gives stability to counteract the octane of tech. Yield is 2.21%. (Analysts’ price target is $62.96)
(A Top Pick Aug 13/19, Up 4%) Still likes it. They make snacks globally with only 26% of revenues from North America. They benefitted from the pandemic, because consumers stuck to well-known brands like theirs. Emerging markets will grow faster, though enjoyed good growth in developed ones. She likes the global snacking space because it's high growth. They boast a valuation discount vs. Coke and Pepsi.
These companies are benefiting from the stay-at-home trend. There has been talk of merging with Kraft and that has kept the stock up. There is a lot of growth in the international side.
(A Top Pick May 13/20, Up 29%) Has owned this for years and will hang on. They posted a good quarter recently. When the pandemic hit, consumers stuck to big brands like Ritz Crackers, but MDLZ also attracted new customers. So, MDLZ advertised to keep and attract customers which paid off with organic growth. The valuation gap between MDLZ and global staples like Pepsi will close over time. Too pricey now, so buy on dips. 40% of business is in emerging markets and will grow further there.
