What are Wall Street analysts saying about Heinz stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Heinz stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Kraft Heinz posted lower-than-expected results in the fourth quarter of 2017 where earnings of 90 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.3% while net sales missed the same by 0.3%. Net sales increased by a meager 0.3% year over year, but earnings declined 1.1% from the year-ago level. Sales growth continued to face challenges in the quarter due to softness in the U.S. retail environment. Organic sales in the United States declined 1.1% year over year due to lower volume. Soft consumer demand in North America and Canada along with a 4% year-over-year decline in gross profit affected the company’s fourth-quarter earnings. Kraft Heinz has been struggling due to the shift in consumer preferences toward natural and organic ingredients over packaged and processed food. Kraft Heinz’s shares have underperformed the industry in the past year and earnings estimates are trending downward for 2018 over the last 30 days." (3/14/2018)
- 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "4Q adj. EBITDA was significantly below expectations driven mainly by what seems like (very sparse commentary provided) higher commodity costs & strategic investments (mostly in the US). Sales were generally in line and we note that price/mix was up 1% and improved sequentially. In what was seen as an unusual move last night, the company posted a narrated corporate strategy presentation that sparked speculation of a 4Q miss and a thawing M&A environment." (2/16/2018)
