The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC) currently faces mixed opinions among experts. While it operates in the consumer staples sector, which has shown recent resilience, the company's challenges in maintaining relevance and health-conscious product offerings are noted. The upswing in social media mentions indicates heightened interest, yet the stock is near a 52-week low, raising concerns about its brand portfolio being underwhelming. Potential dividend sustainability and less cyclical earnings are seen as positives, but skepticism remains regarding the financial outlook and effective brand management, particularly with the Oscar Meyer brand now on the market. Overall, there is a cautious outlook on KHC’s future performance amid evolving consumer preferences.

DON'T BUY

Gives you some cover at times like these. But on the other side, you're faced with changing food habits and GLP-1 drugs. May not be a lot of organic growth in this type of company. Chart is lumpy.

BUY
Tariffs -- how to benefit?

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.

DON'T BUY
Close to a 52-week low.

Folks over 25 have some nostalgia for the brands. Product offerings to the market have been challenged. Consumer has evolved to be more health-conscious. Despite yield of 5.5%, stock price is more indicative of its future.

DON'T BUY

It deserves to be struggling. It has the worst collection of brands. Shares deserve to go lower.

DON'T BUY

Oscar Meyer brand up for sale - will be interesting to see if full value is realized. Does not think it will be notable. Don't buy. 

BUY

Very strong company with excellent brands.
Good long term investment.
Consumer staples business with defensive business model.
Recent earnings strong.

RISKY
It's a terrible company, even though shares are too cheap. That said, you might be able to make money on this.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly KHC is a defensive stock, that pays a good dividend, trades below book value, and has demonstrated it is a good inflation hedge. The company has been able to pass along rising costs to consumers and still has sales growing 10% over the previous quarter. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 60% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $30, looking to achieve $42 -- upside potential over 17%. Yield 4.7% (Analysts’ price target is $41.93)
TOP PICK
Past missteps. Cut dividend to a sustainable level, still 4.13%. Used free cashflow to pay down debt from $30B to 20B. Reinvesting in brands. Ready to grow again. Lower-valued consumer stock. (Analysts’ price target is $42.31)
DON'T BUY
It's more in developed markets, which are pretty mature. Not much growth. Company itself is only targeting 1-2%.
DON'T BUY
They haven't fared well from a fundamental standpoint. Earnings have gone down since the 2015 merger. With the market rotating into value, KHC has benefited a bit, but their profile remains unexciting. There are better opportunities elsewhere.
