Kraft Heinz At 4-Year Lows: High Yield, Low Drama
KHC
Published: May 29, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

Kraft Heinz offers bond-like stability, trading near 4-year lows despite resilient cash flows and a shareholder-friendly capital return strategy. At a sub-10 P/E, investors receive a 6% dividend, 1.5% buybacks, and modest book value growth, totaling nearly 10% annual yield. Potential asset sales and buybacks at depressed valuations could further unlock value, making KHC a compelling low-volatility, high-income play.

Kraft Heinz offers stability with strong cash flows, high margins, and a generous 5-6% dividend yield, despite stagnant revenue growth in mature markets. Emerging markets are a bright spot, delivering double-digit sales growth, while North America and Europe face volume declines and private label competition.
