Bernstein sees Hershey-Mondelez partnerships over merger
Bernstein analysts said Hershey and Mondelez are more likely to expand partnerships in international markets than pursue a full-scale merger in the near term, citing the success of their recent Reese's and Oreo product collaborations. The companies jointly launched Reese's products containing Oreo pieces and Oreos containing Reese's pieces in the second half of 2025, which Bernstein called among the most successful new-product introductions, particularly for Hershey. The investment bank sees China and Western Europe, particularly Britain, as the most attractive areas for further cooperation, with Mondelez's estimated China sales of about $2 billion and Hershey's limited European footprint. Bernstein also modeled a scenario in which Hershey acquires Mondelez at a 15% premium, estimating earnings per share would be diluted by about 5% in the first year but become nearly 11% accretive if cost synergies equivalent to 8.5% of Hershey's sales were achieved over two to three years. However, major structural obstacles remain, including the Hershey Trust's control of about 79% of voting rights through Class B shares, which would fall to about 51% in a three-times leverage scenario, potentially triggering provisions requiring it to raise its ownership.
Mondelez Lifts 2026 Organic Revenue Outlook and Signs Chiefs Sponsorship
Mondelez International raised its 2026 organic net revenue growth outlook to at least 2 percent, up from flat to 2 percent, after stronger-than-expected quarterly sales. The company also announced its first-ever professional football team sponsorship, becoming the Kansas City Chiefs' Official Snacking Partner to integrate brands like OREO, RITZ, SOUR PATCH KIDS, and CHIPS AHOY! into tailgates, stadium experiences, and regional retail promotions across Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. The upgraded outlook reflects improving volume and regional momentum, particularly in North America and emerging markets, even as higher commodity costs and brand investments continue to pressure margins. Simply Wall St projects $43.1 billion revenue and $4.7 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 2.8% yearly revenue growth and about $1.2 billion earnings increase from $3.5 billion today, with a fair value estimate of $68.86 per share.
Mondelez Beats Q2 2026 Earnings but 2027 Growth Bet Takes Center Stage
Mondelez International reported second-quarter 2026 results that beat Wall Street expectations for the fourth consecutive quarter, yet investor attention quickly shifted to the company's 2027 growth initiatives. Net revenue rose 4.1% year-over-year to $9.36 billion, surpassing the $9.21 billion consensus, while adjusted earnings per share of $0.73 exceeded estimates by about 7%. Emerging markets led with 4.4% organic growth, driven by volume gains in India, Mexico, and Brazil, while Europe remained a drag with a 3.5% organic revenue decline. Management positioned 2027 as a pivotal year, highlighting a global Oreo relaunch and a multi-category partnership with Biscoff that could generate $500 million to $1 billion in incremental revenue over time. The stock initially rose 3% to $62.48 and added 1% after hours before giving back gains as institutional investors weighed a cautious capital allocation approach.
Mondelez International is progressing work on cell-cultured chocolate technology as part of its response to cocoa price volatility in 2026, while also announcing a nationwide recall of its Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo Candy bar due to undeclared pistachio allergens. The stock last closed at $62.31, with returns up 3.0% over the past week and 5.0% over the past month. The move toward cell-cultured chocolate is an attempt to reduce exposure to volatile cocoa markets and protect margins over time, potentially opening new product formats if consumers accept chocolate that relies less on traditional cocoa supply chains. By contrast, the recall highlights operational and regulatory risk around ingredient control and labeling for a business built on trusted global brands. Recent Q2 2026 results showed higher sales and net income versus a year earlier, giving the company financial room to invest in both food safety systems and product development.
Mondelez International Class A has reported its second quarter 2026 results. Detailed performance figures, year-on-year changes, and segment sales were not disclosed. The confectionery and snacks giant's announcement is drawing investor attention.
Mondelez Q2 Revenue and Profit Beat Estimates on Solid Demand in Key Markets
US food giant Mondelez International reported second-quarter results that beat market expectations for both revenue and profit. Solid demand for biscuits and chocolate in key markets, along with the impact of price increases, boosted performance. Revenue came in at 9.36 billion dollars, topping the average analyst estimate of 9.2 billion dollars compiled by LSEG. Adjusted earnings per share also beat market forecasts by 0.05 dollars. The company raised its full-year organic revenue growth outlook to at least 2 percent, up from the previous range of flat to up 2 percent. In North America, its largest market, pricing contributed 2.2 percentage points and volume added 1.2 percentage points in the second quarter. By region, organic revenue rose 8.4 percent in Latin America and 7.1 percent in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Adjusted gross margin improved by 20 basis points from a year earlier.

Mondelez International Backs Final Boss Sour to Expand Retail Footprint
Mondelez International's venture fund has invested in Final Boss Sour's latest funding round to support the brand's retail expansion. The deal focuses on growing Final Boss Sour's presence in stores and broadening its reach in the snack aisle. This move reflects Mondelez International's ongoing activity in backing emerging snack brands through its corporate venture arm. The investment highlights how the large snack company engages with smaller, fast-developing brands to stay close to changing consumer tastes. While no future deals are guaranteed, this funding round could influence how Mondelez International approaches similar partnerships with emerging snack companies over time.
StockStory highlights Xylem as S&P 500 pick, questions Mondelez and United Airlines
StockStory identifies Xylem as an S&P 500 stock worth attention while questioning Mondelez and United Airlines. Xylem, a water-sector company with a market cap of $29.78 billion, posted annual revenue growth of 12.7% over five years and earnings per share growth of 16.7% annually, with free cash flow margin expanding by 5.5 percentage points. Mondelez, the $78.84 billion snacks maker, faces falling unit sales, estimated sales growth of just 2.4%, and a 2% annual decline in earnings per share over three years. United Airlines, valued at $38.56 billion, has seen disappointing revenue passenger miles, a subpar operating margin of 8.2%, and an expected persistence of its free cash flow margin constraints.
StockStory Flags Vertex as a Nasdaq 100 Stock to Watch, Questions Workday and Mondelez
StockStory highlights Vertex Pharmaceuticals as a Nasdaq 100 stock with huge potential while expressing caution on Workday and Mondelez. Vertex, with a market cap of $121.1 billion, posted 13.8% annual revenue growth over five years and a strong free cash flow margin of 24.7%. Workday, valued at $35.03 billion, faces slowing demand with estimated sales growth of 10.9% and trades at 3.3x forward price-to-sales. Mondelez, at a $75.38 billion market cap, saw earnings per share fall 2% annually over three years and has an estimated sales growth of just 2.4%, trading at 18.4x forward P/E.
Mondelez adopts LyondellBasell recycled polymers for Marabou chocolate packaging
Mondelez International has introduced a new flexible packaging solution for its Marabou chocolate bars that uses LyondellBasell's CirculenRevive polymers, achieving 75% recycled content through an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance process. The packaging was developed with partners Amcor and Taghleef Industries, and the deal highlights real-world demand for LyondellBasell's circular plastics as European recycling rules tighten. However, the collaboration alone does not materially shift LyondellBasell's near-term investment narrative, which remains focused on margin and cash flow recovery amid a cyclical, oversupplied petrochemical market. The company cut its dividend to $0.69 per share in February 2026 and has not repurchased shares this year, reflecting a cash-preservation stance after a $745 million loss in 2025.
Zacks Highlights Four Food Stocks Amid Industry Headwinds
Zacks Equity Research has identified Mondelez International, Sysco, United Natural Foods, and Mama's Creations as stocks to watch within the Food-Miscellaneous industry, which faces pressure from value-conscious consumers and persistent cost inflation.

United Natural Foods holds a Zacks Rank of 1, or Strong Buy, with shares gaining 109.4% over the past year, while Mama's Creations is ranked 2, or Buy, and has rallied 115.2%.

Nasdaq 100’s five highest-yielding stocks offer dependable dividends
The five highest-yielding stocks in the Nasdaq 100 are being highlighted as compelling picks for passive income, with all rated Buy by top Wall Street firms. Kraft Heinz pays a substantial 6.31% dividend and is committing $600 million to a turnaround strategy after scrapping a planned corporate split. Comcast offers a solid 5.56% dividend, while Paychex provides a 4.48% yield with significant upside potential. PepsiCo has a very solid 3.95% dividend yield and activist investor Elliott Investment Management holds a $4 billion stake, believing strategic changes could unlock over 50% upside. Mondelez rounds out the list with a 3.33% dividend yield.
LYB Partners Mondelez and Others for Flexible Packaging Solution
LyondellBasell has partnered with Mondelez International, Amcor, Taghleef Industries and other industry players to introduce an innovative flexible packaging solution for Marabou chocolate bars. The new packaging uses LYB's CirculenRevive polymers, made with 100% attributed recycled content through an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach, enabling packaging with 75% recycled content. This move will help transform hard-to-recycle post-consumer mixed plastic waste into high-quality materials suitable for food packaging. LYB plans to supply future polymers for Marabou packaging from its MoReTec-1 catalytic chemical recycling plant, currently under construction in Wesseling, Germany, which is designed to process 50,000 metric tons of recycled feedstock annually. The project depends on collaboration across the packaging value chain, with LYB supplying the recycled polymers, Taghleef Industries manufacturing the base film, Amcor converting it into flexible packaging, and Mondelez bringing the final product to consumers. The new packaging also aligns with recycled-content requirements under the European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.
Freedom Broker downgrades Mondelēz International to Hold, keeps $71 target
Freedom Broker downgraded Mondelēz International from Buy to Hold on June 26, while maintaining its price target at $71, implying over 16% upside. The analyst firm cited historically negative impacts of commodity inflation on profitability and a muted stock response to cocoa prices hitting a five-month high. Cocoa is trading above $5,000 per ton amid concerns over the West African mid-crop harvest, and the company has remained prudent with its fiscal 2026 guidance given cocoa volatility and subdued US biscuit performance.
Mondelez Launches Swarovski Toblerone Push and Backs Luna Bar with Jessica Alba
Mondelez International has launched a luxury Toblerone Crystal Bar series in collaboration with Swarovski, paired with a global charity auction and limited-edition product rollout. The company is also putting fresh investment behind the Luna Bar brand, including new product launches and the appointment of Jessica Alba as brand ambassador. Both moves highlight Mondelez International's push into premium gifting and targeted snacking segments. The Swarovski collaboration ties Toblerone to luxury gifting and travel retail, with 100% of auction proceeds going to charity. Luna Bar's focus on young women in the US$10 billion energy bar market, supported by new fiber-focused products and Alba's profile, aims at a demographic that large packaged food peers are also trying to reach.
Simply Good Foods posts weakest Q1 among shelf-stable food peers
Simply Good Foods reported first-quarter revenues of $326 million, down 9.4% year on year and missing analyst estimates by 5.2%, making it the weakest performer against expectations among the 17 shelf-stable food stocks tracked. The company also issued full-year EBITDA guidance and next-quarter revenue guidance that fell significantly short of analyst forecasts. Hershey delivered the best results of the group with revenues of $3.10 billion, up 10.6% year on year and beating estimates by 2.4%, while BellRing Brands had the weakest quarter overall with revenues of $598.7 million, up 1.8% but missing estimates by 1.7%, and its stock has since dropped 45%. Other notable performers included Mondelez with revenues of $10.08 billion, up 8.2% and beating estimates by 3%, and McCormick with revenues of $1.87 billion, up 16.7% and beating estimates by 5.1%, achieving the fastest revenue growth among its peers.

Evercore ISI names four negative beta stocks for AI-heavy portfolios
Evercore ISI has identified four stocks that trade inversely to the S&P 500 as a diversification option for investors overexposed to artificial intelligence. Analyst Julian Emanuel noted that a surging number of stocks now exhibit negative beta, offering diversification without abandoning equity exposure, especially as traditional hedges like emerging markets, bonds, and gold have become less effective. The firm maintained its year-end S&P 500 target of 7,750, with a bull case of 9,000, but recommended negative beta names with upward earnings revisions to navigate near-term volatility. The four Overweight-rated stocks highlighted are Coca-Cola, Costco, T-Mobile, and Mondelez International.
Mondelez Shares Fall 2.1% After Fed Signals Potential Rate Hike
Mondelez shares slid 2.1% to close at $60.87 after the Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate at 3.5%–3.75% and released a dot plot pointing toward a possible hike. The 2-year Treasury yield jumped 11 basis points to 4.161%, narrowing the yield advantage that had made dividend stocks more attractive following late-2025 rate cuts. Packaged food companies like Mondelez, Kraft Heinz, and Conagra face additional pressure because their acquisition-related debt becomes more expensive to refinance when rate expectations rise.
Mondelez Q1 Revenue Rises 8.2% to $10.08 Billion, Beating Estimates
Mondelez reported first-quarter revenues of $10.08 billion, an 8.2% increase year on year, exceeding analysts' expectations by 3%. The packaged snacks giant, known for brands like Oreo and Cadbury, also posted a solid beat on EBITDA and organic revenue estimates. Among the 17 shelf-stable food stocks tracked, overall revenues were in line with consensus, but next-quarter guidance came in 1.8% below expectations. Hershey was the best performer in the group with revenue up 10.6% to $3.10 billion, while BellRing Brands was the weakest, missing estimates with a 1.8% revenue increase to $598.7 million and issuing disappointing full-year EBITDA guidance. Mondelez shares have risen 5.9% since the report.
AB InBev appoints Mondelez CEO Dirk Van de Put as chairman

Van de Put replaces Martin Barrington, who has retired from the brewer's board. He has been an AB InBev director since April 2023 and has led Mondelez as chairman and CEO since 2017. AB InBev CEO Michel Doukeris said Van de Put's experience will be invaluable for the company's growth.
Mondelēz chief warns UK junk food rules risk investment
Mondelēz International chairman and chief executive Dirk Van de Put warned that Britain’s tightening junk food regulations are making the country less attractive for investment and could cost it future factory projects. He told the BBC that constant regulatory changes create uncertainty and impose hefty costs, noting around a hundred different nutritional targets introduced in the past two decades. Van de Put said the UK is the company’s second-biggest market globally, but future decisions on where to build new European plants might not favour Britain. He also criticised the Government’s exclusion of food and drink manufacturing from its eight priority industrial strategy sectors, calling the omission weird given the industry accounts for about a quarter of Britain’s industrial turnover and supports roughly 500,000 jobs. Mondelēz, which owns Cadbury, Toblerone and Oreo, employs nearly 100,000 people worldwide and operates eight UK sites including the historic Bournville factory.
