Kraft Heinz - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

Should I Buy Kraft Heinz Stock? KHC Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Kraft Heinz pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Kraft Heinz
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in The Kraft Heinz Company:

The Kraft Heinz Company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.75 for the latest quarter, exceeding the consensus estimate of $0.74. This indicates strong financial performance and can be a positive signal for investors.
The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40, which translates to an annualized dividend of $1.60 and a yield of 5.48%. This high yield can attract income-focused investors looking for regular returns.
Despite a slight decline in revenue compared to the previous year, the company generated $6.38 billion in revenue, which shows its ability to maintain substantial sales figures in a competitive market.
The current stock price is around $33.45, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in a well-established company.
The Kraft Heinz Company has a relatively low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.40, indicating a manageable level of debt compared to its equity. This can suggest financial stability and lower risk for investors.

Kraft Heinz
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in The Kraft Heinz Company for these reasons:

The company's revenue decreased by 2.8% compared to the same quarter last year, which may raise concerns about its growth potential and market competitiveness.
The payout ratio is notably high at 144.14%, indicating that the company is paying out more in dividends than it is earning. This could be unsustainable in the long term if earnings do not improve.
Recent analyst reports have shown a downward trend in price targets, with several firms reducing their estimates, which may reflect a lack of confidence in the company's future performance.
Insider selling activity has been noted, with an executive selling 45,000 shares, which could signal a lack of confidence in the company's stock performance from those within the organization.
The company has a quick ratio of 0.56, suggesting that it may struggle to meet its short-term liabilities without selling inventory, which could pose liquidity risks.
