MONDELEZ INTERNATIONAL INC (MDLZ-Q) has been facing challenges recently, with experts pointing out two main issues impacting the stock's performance. First, the pantry-stuffing trend that surged during the Covid pandemic has diminished, leading to reduced demand. Second, cocoa prices have skyrocketed due to plant diseases in West Africa, presenting a significant cost issue for a company primarily reliant on chocolate. While some analysts suggest that current prices may present a reasonable entry point for long-term investors, they emphasize the risks; high input costs and shifting consumer preferences toward healthier options could further impact growth. Additionally, concerns about foreign exchange rates complicate the company’s financial outlook. Despite these challenges, there is a belief in potential upside, but other investment options, like Costco or Dollarama, may be preferred by some analysts.
Would you choose Kraft (KRFT-Q) or Mondelez (MDLZ-Q)? Doesn’t follow these closely but does know that Mondelez is a consumer beverage. Probably the better play going forward is Kraft. Good sector to be in. He would probably take a profit on Mondelez and buy Kraft and then maybe staple on some Starbucks (SBUX-Q) as well.
Kraft Foods (KRFT-Q) or Mondelez International (MDLZ-Q)? He owned Kraft originally and it spun off with the Kraft and Mondelez shares. Held them for a while. Recently sold off his Kraft position as he wants to sell off some of his consumer staple names and going to more cyclical. If you are looking for yield and dividend (close to 4%), Kraft will provide that. Mondelez touches on emerging markets with higher growth snacks businesses and you get a dividend of almost 2%.
The snack part spinoff from Kraft (KRFT-Q). There are a few things that are really good about this company. The space is really a growth space, especially in emerging markets where they have a fairly good representation. His problem with the stock is its valuation. He finds it fully priced without a lot of room for growth. Also, there is some risk of capital.
