Kraft Heinz is moving its stock listing to the New York Stock Exchange while keeping its KHC ticker, with no shares converting and essentially no economic effect on holders. The venue change comes as new CEO Steve Cahillane has paused the company's previously announced split into two independent public companies, Global Taste Elevation and North American Grocery, a separation the board approved in September 2025 under then-CEO Carlos Abrams-Rivera and targeted to close in the second half of 2026. Cahillane redirected roughly $700 million into brand reinvestment for 2026, up from an initial $600 million committed at Q4 2025, and CFO Andre Maciel said first-half share loss narrowed to 30 basis points from roughly 90 basis points earlier in 2025. Cahillane pinned most of those losses on Oscar Mayer, and specifically on its Deli Fresh line, where a packaging defect drove the problem; new packaging began shipping in early August and lost distribution will need to be rebuilt. Kraft Heinz paid down $1.9 billion of debt in the quarter and another $1 billion in 2027 after the quarter closed, with free cash flow conversion guided to approximately 110% for 2026, while shares sit at $24.60, up 1.4% year to date but down 71.4% over ten years, ahead of a November investor day.
