out of 100

Kraft Heinz Co is going through a tough financial stretch: it hasn't been profitable over the last twelve months and its revenue is shrinking. On fundamental quality it scores 50 out of 100, profiling it as a company with demanding fundamentals. Its weakest area is its growth (revenue -0.9%/yr). Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.

What the company does

Kraft Heinz is the packaged-food giant: Heinz ketchup, Kraft cheese, Oscar Mayer. Born from a Buffett/3G-orchestrated merger that promised efficiency and delivered years of stagnation: mature brands in slow-growing categories.

What will shape its future

  • Revitalizing mature brands in low-growth categories, its permanent challenge.
  • Retailer power (supermarket private labels) eating share from below.
  • GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and changing habits, the shadow over all processed food.
