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.
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.
