Executive summary

Kraft Heinz makes and markets packaged foods and beverages under household brands, covering condiments, sauces, cheese, processed meats, coffee and ready-to-eat meals. Heinz ketchup, Philadelphia cream cheese, Kraft macaroni and cheese and Oscar Mayer meats are among its well-known products. Customers are mainly grocery retailers, wholesalers and food-service operators. The company is run on a regional basis, with North America as its core market and further operations in international markets.

Revenue came to $24.9 billion over the last twelve months, earned by supplying branded grocery products to retailers and food-service customers. Revenue has changed at -2.0% a year across the last three years, which is a decline. The operating margin is -12.8%, and the business earns -5% on the capital invested in it, so it is currently loss-making. The dividend yield is 6.8%.

StocksXray gives Kraft Heinz Co an X-Ray Score of 35 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 14% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (64) and its weakest is financial health (17).

Our fair value blend is $62.93. At $23.68 the stock trades 62% below that blend, so the label is "Data under review" with high model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
