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.
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%.
Diversification into snack foods products. Predictable and it has worked out well for him and made a lot of money. A leader in its space. Quality management team and good financials. Buy and hold for the long term. 1.5% dividend was increased back in the summer. It will go up as time progresses.
