Original source text
Cocoa has taken one of the wildest round trips in the commodity market over the past two years. The bean that flavors most of the candy in a trick-or-treat bag climbed to a record above $10,000 a metric ton in late 2024, collapsed to a cycle low near $2,850 by April 2026, then rallied back toward $5,700 by the middle of August. Through all of it, the price of a bag of fun-size chocolate on the shelf has done one thing. It went up, and it stayed up.

That disconnect is the story heading into Halloween. Shoppers were told for two years that record cocoa was the reason chocolate kept getting more expensive. The record is long gone, yet the prices are not.

Cocoa’s Round TripCocoa’s spike was real and severe. Poor weather, aging trees, and disease in West Africa, which grows about 70% of the world’s supply, gutted production and sent futures to historic highs. Prices more than quadrupled from their long-run range in under two years.

The correction was just as dramatic. Better harvests flipped the market from years of shortage into surplus, and futures fell by more than half from the peak, bottoming near $2,850 a ton in the spring. The relief did not last. A summer rally driven by El Niño worries and crop-quality concerns pushed cocoa back to roughly $5,700 a ton by mid-August, its fourth straight monthly gain.

Trending

Even after the crash, cocoa sits more than double the roughly $2,400 a ton it averaged as recently as 2022. The bean is cheaper than its record, not cheap.

Why Shelf Prices Don’t Fall Like Commodity PricesRetail prices and commodity prices move on different clocks. When cocoa spiked, manufacturers raised list prices and shrank package sizes to protect margins, and those changes tend to be sticky. Prices climb quickly when costs rise and drift down slowly, if at all, when costs ease.

The numbers show the ratchet at work. The average US chocolate bar ran about $2.43 in the summer of 2021 and about $3.45 by 2025, a 41% jump. Hershey variety packs were up around 22% and Mars raised prices roughly 12% heading into last Halloween. Chocolate candy averaged about $8.02 a pound against $5.77 for non-chocolate options.

Manufacturers are also not sitting on cheap beans. Both major chocolate makers hedged most of their 2026 cocoa months ago, at prices above where the market briefly fell, so the spring dip barely reached their income statements. Shoppers were never going to see an overnight discount, because the companies buying the cocoa did not get one either.

How to Shop the Halloween Basket for LessThe pricing pressure is real, but a Halloween run does not have to sting.

Non-chocolate candy is the clearest saving. Gummies, sour candy, and hard candy cost less per pound than chocolate and have been gaining ground for years, with chocolate’s share of Halloween candy volume slipping from 52% to 44%. Kids reaching for the fruity stuff are doing your budget a favor.

A few other moves add up.

Buy early and spread the cost. Nearly half of Halloween shoppers start in September or earlier, which avoids the late-October scramble and the thin discount racks that come with it. Watch the unit price, not the bag price. Shrinkflation hides increases inside smaller bags, so compare the price per ounce rather than the sticker on the front. Lean on store brands and warehouse clubs for the bulk handout candy, and save the name brands for the bowl by the door. What It Means for Hershey and MondelezThe same volatility that shapes the candy aisle runs straight through the two stocks that dominate it.

The Hershey Company (NYSE:HSY) spent 2025 with its margins squeezed by record cocoa, and adjusted earnings fell hard as a result. The rebound is now underway. After raising guidance alongside its second-quarter report, Hershey expects full-year 2026 adjusted earnings of roughly $8.36 to $8.52 a share, well above the depressed level of a year earlier, with net sales growth of about 4.5% to 5%.

Cocoa makes up close to 20% of the company’s cost of goods, so pricing discipline and productivity, rather than any cocoa windfall, are doing most of the work. Management is leaning into the season with its largest-ever Halloween lineup, betting that loyal shoppers keep reaching for chocolate.

Mondelez International (NASDAQ:MDLZ) tells a more cautious story. The maker of Cadbury and Toblerone carries a wider, less chocolate-heavy portfolio, with cocoa closer to 10% of its cost of goods, yet its price hikes have cost it volume.

For 2026 the company guided to adjusted earnings growth of flat to 5% and organic revenue growth of flat to 2%, which it later nudged up modestly, softer than Hershey and softer than analysts had hoped, as shoppers pushed back on higher shelf prices. Its hedges, like Hershey’s, were locked in above current spot, which capped the benefit from cheaper beans.

The Volatility Isn’t OverNeither the shopper nor the investor should count on clean relief from here. Cocoa remains fickle, in the words of one analyst who covers Hershey, and a market caught between a fresh supply surplus and ongoing weather risk can swing hard in either direction.

The US consumer is stretched and value-focused too, which means every fresh price increase risks pushing more buyers toward cheaper candy or smaller bags. That elasticity is exactly what dented Mondelez’s volumes.

For the shopper, the pricey candy reflects sticky retail pricing and a cocoa market that is off its highs but far from cheap. Shopping the basket smart matters more than waiting for a discount that may never come.

For the investor, the setup is a story about pricing power and hedging rather than a simple bet on falling beans, and it carries the real risk that tired consumers finally stop absorbing the increases.

Campbell’s snižuje dividendu, Mondelez a Smucker ji zvyšují
MDLZ Mondelez
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Jim Cramer called Campbell's snack quarter a nightmare and warned the whole category is broken, but two other packaged food giants reported something very different this week and raised their dividends to prove it.

Campbell’s (NASDAQ:CPB | CPB Price Prediction) declared a new quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on September 3, 2026, down from the prior rate of $0.39 per share that had been paid across the preceding quarters. For income-focused shareholders, that is the headline. A dividend cut from a shelf-stable food company signals that management would rather retain cash to pay down debt than defend a payout it has grown comfortable with. Campbell’s said the reset is designed to accelerate debt reduction and strengthen the balance sheet.

Jim Cramer put it in less measured terms on his CNBC Mad Dash segment. His verdict on the quarter: “This is a nightmare. … This is a nightmare situation.” That framing is fair for Campbell’s but should not be taken as a verdict on packaged food in general.

Campbell’s: The Numbers Behind Cramer’s Verdict Campbell’s reported fiscal Q4 2026 with adjusted EPS of $0.39 on net sales of $2.14 billion, down 7.9% year over year. The GAAP line was a loss of $0.23 per share after $117 million in trademark impairment charges on Cape Cod and Kettle Brand and $75 million in restructuring. The 8-K filing shows the Snacks segment carried the pain: revenue of $950 million, organic sales down 6%, and segment operating earnings down 34%.

Cramer flagged the breadth of the damage: “The snack business is bad. The soup business is bad. I don’t even know what to say.” He added, “This is a brand that should have just gone away. And yet we all know it. We all know Campbell’s.” On the payout, Cramer confirmed the mechanical read: “Okay, it was a bad quarter and they’re slashing the dividend.” Cramer’s concern extended beyond one name. In the same segment he noted, “Tyson down six. They do cut the guide on this. Collapse in beef keeps coming back to beef.”

The price action confirms it. Campbell’s stock is down 20.6% year to date and 34.4% over one year, closing at $22.13. The Wall Street Journal reported the company is cutting 13% of its salaried workforce as part of the turnaround. Management has also outlined a $500 million enterprise cost savings program through FY2030 and guided FY2027 adjusted EPS to $1.65 to $1.80.

Mondelez: The Snack Story Cramer Did Not Tell Mondelez (NASDAQ:MDLZ) is the global pure-play snack company behind Oreo, Ritz, Milka, Cadbury, and Toblerone. Q2 2026 delivered adjusted EPS of $0.73 vs. $0.68 consensus on revenue of $9.36 billion, up 4.1%. Management raised FY2026 organic revenue growth guidance to at least 2% and hiked the dividend 4%. CEO Dirk Van de Put told investors emerging-market snacking is “a very structural situation. It’s not cyclical.”

Shares are up 14.2% year to date, ahead of the 13.2% gain in the S&P 500 ETF. One caveat: the one-year figure is just 0.2% higher. Cocoa costs remain a swing factor.

J.M. Smucker: The Strongest Legacy Food Name J.M. Smucker (NYSE:SJM) sells into the same American grocery aisles as Campbell’s, with Folgers, Dunkin’, Café Bustelo, Jif, Uncrustables, Smucker’s, Milk-Bone, and Hostess. Q1 FY2027 adjusted EPS was $3.24, compared with a $2.22 consensus, on revenue of $2.22 billion, aided by roughly $115 million in tariff refunds. Management raised FY2027 adjusted EPS guidance to $10.50 to $11.00 and lifted the quarterly dividend to $1.12.

The stock is up 31.4% year to date and 14.7% over one year, and it advanced 9.4% in the past month. The soft spot inside the portfolio is Sweet Baked Snacks (Hostess), where revenue fell 7% to $236.5 million, so the snack-weakness thesis has a landing spot even at a winning name.

Packaged Food Is Splitting, Not Sinking Organic sales strip out the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and currency, so the number reflects volume and price on the products a company actually still sells. On that basis, Campbell’s Snacks fell 6% while Mondelez raised its full-year organic revenue outlook. The category is being repriced downward for companies losing shelf momentum, and rewarded for those with pricing power, innovation, and coffee or global exposure. Uncrustables at Smucker and Oreo internationally do not care what happened to Kettle Brand.

For an income-focused investor who already owns a legacy shelf-brand name, the Campbell’s dividend reset is the signal that matters. Management confidence is now aimed at the balance sheet, not the payout. Campbell’s telegraphed most of the warning signs before the cut arrived (the same red flags we walked through in a free dividend trap guide). The category still has payers doing the opposite: Mondelez and Smucker each raised its dividend. The lesson from this week is to examine which company you hold, not to write off the entire category.

Key Takeaways Mondelez's biscuits and baked snacks posted 2.5% organic growth in Q2, with volume/mix up 1.3 points. Oreo, Ritz and other brands grew, while U.S. biscuit share gains improved Mondelez's overall share trend. Europe stayed solid, and Emerging Markets accelerated, while North America was flat with soft frequency. Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ - Free Report) is seeing solid momentum in biscuits and baked snacks, with broad-based brand growth, positive volume/mix and improving share trends providing a favorable backdrop. The category remains an important part of the company’s snacking portfolio, while innovation, pack formats, distribution and new consumption occasions offer additional avenues to sustain growth.

Biscuits and baked snacks delivered 2.5% organic net revenue growth in the second quarter of 2026, with volume/mix increasing 1.3 percentage points. Oreo, Ritz, Chips Ahoy!, Give & Go, LU, Grenade, Perfect, Zbar and Builders all posted growth. U.S. biscuit share gains were also a key contributor to the sequential improvement in Mondelez’s overall share performance from the first quarter.

Regional trends were encouraging. In North America, the biscuit category remained flat, while Mondelez gained share and maintained stable penetration. Frequency, however, remained soft. Europe delivered solid biscuit growth, with Mondelez holding share. Emerging Markets also showed signs of accelerating biscuit growth as snacking spending continued to expand.

Mondelez is also working to broaden consumption occasions and product formats. Ritz Minis and Ritz Drizzled supported on-the-go occasions and helped Ritz deliver a 0.2 percentage-point year-to-date value share gain. In India, the Biscoff biscuit launch contributed significantly to growth and was ahead of internal projections. The company is also expanding single-serve, variety and club packs, particularly in North America.

Mondelez has several levers to build on the 2.5% growth in biscuits and baked snacks, including broad brand gains, positive volume/mix, improving share trends and continued innovation. Growth in Europe and signs of acceleration in Emerging Markets add support, while the flat North American biscuit category and soft purchase frequency remain key watchpoints.

Key Takeaways Mondelez raises its 2026 organic net revenue growth outlook to at least 2% from flat to 2%. Q2 organic revenues rose 2.2%, with volume/mix adding 0.7 points and pricing contributing 1.5 points. Emerging Markets and North America stayed strong, while Europe is expected to improve in the second half. Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ - Free Report) closed the first half of 2026 with organic revenue growth supported by improving volume/mix and continued pricing. Growth in the second quarter was broad across three of its four regions, while Europe showed signs of improvement. This momentum prompted the company to raise its full-year organic net revenue growth outlook.

Organic net revenues increased 2.2% in the second quarter, with volume/mix contributing 0.7 percentage points and pricing adding 1.5 points. Excluding the impact of package downsizing, underlying volume/mix was about 1.2 points. For the first six months of 2026, organic net revenues rose 2.6%, including 0.1 point from volume/mix and 2.5 points from pricing.

Emerging Markets grew 4.4% organically in the second quarter, supported by 1.6 points of volume/mix. North America advanced 3.4%, with volume/mix up 1.2 points. AMEA delivered 7.1% growth, including a 5.2-point volume/mix contribution, while Latin America increased 8.4%. The Latin America result included an approximately 1.5-point benefit from higher trade inventory ahead of the SAP S4 implementation in the mid-third quarter.

Europe remained softer, with organic revenues down 3.5% and volume/mix declining 2.1 points, largely reflecting lower chocolate volumes tied to unusually hot weather. The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company expects European volumes to improve through the second half.

Mondelez now expects at least 2% organic net revenue growth for 2026 compared with its previous outlook of flat to a 2% increase. Continued positive volume/mix, strength across Emerging Markets and North America and further improvement in Europe are the key elements supporting that higher full-year growth expectation.

Q & A Highlights Q: Emerging markets have shown strong performance for the second quarter. What gives you confidence in the outlook for the second half in these markets?
A: Dirk Van De Put, CEO, highlighted that the strong top line growth of 4.4% and solid volume in Q2 are driven by a stable consumer confidence in emerging markets. India, Mexico, and Brazil are performing well, while China is expected to improve. The expansion of distribution, with significant store additions in India and Brazil, and a mix of global brands and local products are key factors. This growth is seen as structural rather than cyclical, suggesting continued strong performance.

Q: Can you elaborate on the improvement in North America and its sustainability for the rest of the year?
A: Dirk Van De Put, CEO, noted that while consumer confidence in North America has rebounded, it remains subdued due to inflation and energy prices. Despite this, Mondelez saw strong net revenue growth and positive volume mix, gaining share in all categories. The success is attributed to disciplined promotional execution, effective innovation, and strong growth in value channels. The company plans to continue reinvesting and expects a strong second half.

Q: As the new CFO, what are your initial observations about Mondelez?
A: Amit Banati, CFO, expressed confidence in Mondelez's iconic brand portfolio and strong innovation pipeline. He sees significant growth opportunities in emerging markets and under-indexed channels. Banati also highlighted opportunities for productivity improvements, particularly through AI-enabled efficiencies, which will support reinvestment in growth.

Q: Can you provide insights into the outlook for the remainder of the year, especially regarding top line and EPS guidance?
A: Amit Banati, CFO, stated that the company feels good about the top line, expecting at least 2% growth driven by strong performance in emerging markets and improving execution in North America. EPS guidance remains unchanged, with any upside reinvested into areas showing momentum. The company anticipates a back-weighted earnings distribution due to phasing on cocoa and other factors.

Q: What are the expectations for volume improvement in Europe, considering recent challenges like the heat wave?
A: Luca Zaramella, COO, explained that European chocolate business is on a positive volume mix trajectory, expected to continue in the second half as they lap prior year pricing. Despite a heat wave impacting Q2, the company is confident about improved execution and activation, particularly around brands like Biscoff and Milka Croissant, leading to better performance in the second half.

Net revenues increased 4.1 percent driven by our underlying Organic Net Revenue growth of 2.2 percent and favorable currency-related items, partially offset by lapping prior year net revenue from a divestiture. Organic Net Revenue growth was driven by higher net pricing and favorable volume/mix. Gross profit increased $1,049 million, and gross profit margin increased 990 basis points to 42.6 percent primarily driven by a favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivatives and by an increase in Adjusted Gross Profit1 margin, partially offset by incremental costs due to geopolitical conflicts, higher costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program and an unfavorable year-over-year change in acquisition-related items. Adjusted Gross Profit increased $92 million at constant currency and Adjusted Gross Profit margin increased 20 basis points to 34.0 percent driven primarily by higher net pricing and lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity, partially offset by higher raw material costs. Operating income increased $774 million, and operating income margin was 20.8 percent, up 780 basis points due primarily to a favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivatives, partially offset by lower Adjusted Operating Income1 margin, an unfavorable year-over-year change in acquisition-related items, higher costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program, higher restructuring charges and incremental costs due to geopolitical conflicts.  Adjusted Operating Income decreased $78 million at constant currency and Adjusted Operating Income margin decreased 120 basis points to 13.1 percent, driven primarily by higher raw material costs, higher other selling, general and administrative expenses and higher advertising and consumer promotion costs, partially offset by higher net pricing and lower manufacturing costs driven by productivity. Diluted EPS was $1.20, up 144.9 percent, primarily driven by a favorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivatives, lower pension participation charges and initial impacts from enacted tax law changes. These favorable items were  partially offset by a decrease in Adjusted EPS1, higher acquisition-related items, higher costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program and incremental costs due to geopolitical conflicts. Adjusted EPS was $0.73, down 2.7 percent on a constant currency basis. The decrease in Adjusted EPS1 was driven by operating declines and higher interest and other expense, partially offset by lower income tax and favorable currency-related items. 2026 Outlook

Mondelēz International provides its outlook on a non-GAAP basis, as the company cannot predict some elements that are included in reported GAAP results, including future changes in foreign currency rates. Refer to the Outlook section in the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures below for more details.

For 2026, the company now expects at least 2 percent Organic Net Revenue growth, which reflects the strength of its year-to-date performance. The company maintains its Adjusted EPS growth in the range of flat to 5 percent on a constant currency basis. The company also expects 2026 Free Cash Flow of approximately $3 billion. The company currently estimates currency translation would increase 2026 net revenue growth by approximately 2.0 percent3 and increase Adjusted EPS by $0.053.

Outlook is provided in the context of greater than usual volatility, including geopolitical, trade and regulatory uncertainty and commodity prices. This outlook does not reflect any potential tariff changes to United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA") compliant trade.

Mondelēz International will host a conference call for investors at 5 p.m. ET today. A listen-only webcast will be provided at www.mondelezinternational.com. An archive of the webcast will be available on the company’s web site.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In discussing its financial results and guidance, the company presents the following financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”): Organic Net Revenue growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Segment Operating Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) and Free Cash Flow. The company also presents financial information, including certain of these non-GAAP financial measures, on a constant currency basis.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of business performance and as a factor in determining incentive compensation. The company believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when used in connection with results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provide additional information to facilitate comparisons of our historical operating results and to enable a more comprehensive understanding of trends in our underlying operating results. The company also believes that presenting these measures allows investors to view our performance using the same measures that management and our Board of Directors use in evaluating the company’s business performance and trends. However, non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

DEFINITIONS OF THE COMPANY’S NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The company’s primary non-GAAP financial measures and corresponding metrics, listed below, reflect how we evaluate our current and prior year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When these definitions change, the company provides the updated definitions and presents the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis. When items no longer impact the company’s current or future presentation of non-GAAP operating results, the company removes these items from its non-GAAP definitions.

“Organic Net Revenue” is defined as net revenues (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) excluding, when they occur, the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and currency-related items. The company believes that Organic Net Revenue reflects the underlying growth from the ongoing activities of our business and provides improved comparability of results. Organic Net Revenue growth is presented on a consolidated basis, for each of our segments and for our emerging markets and developed markets.

“Adjusted Gross Profit” is defined as gross profit (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) excluding, when they occur, the impacts of: restructuring charges, certain acquisition-related items, certain divestiture-related items, mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts economically hedging forecasted transactions, incremental costs due to geopolitical conflicts and certain operating costs from the ERP System Implementation program. The company also presents Adjusted Gross Profit margin, which is subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Gross Profit. The company also evaluates growth in the company’s Adjusted Gross Profit on a constant currency basis.

“Adjusted Operating Income” and “Adjusted Segment Operating Income” are defined as operating income or segment operating income (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures) excluding, when they occur, the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Gross Profit definition as well as goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, remeasurement of net monetary position of highly inflationary countries; resolution of tax matters and operating costs from the ERP System Implementation program. The company also presents Adjusted Operating Income margin and Adjusted Segment Operating Income margin, which are subject to the same adjustments as Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income. The company also evaluates growth in the company’s Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Income on a constant currency basis.

“Adjusted EPS” is defined as diluted EPS attributable to Mondelēz International (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) excluding, when they occur, the impacts of the items listed in the Adjusted Operating Income definition, as well as pension participation changes, initial impacts from enacted tax law changes and gains or losses on equity method investment transactions. The tax impacts of the items excluded from the company’s U.S. GAAP results were computed based on the facts and tax assumptions associated with each item, and such impacts have also been excluded from Adjusted EPS. The company also evaluates growth in the company’s Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis.

“Free Cash Flow” is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is the company’s primary measure used to monitor its cash flow performance.

See the attached schedules for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025. See Items Impacting Comparability of Operating Results below for more information about the items referenced in these definitions that specifically impacted the company’s results.

SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME
The company uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The company believes it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes certain mark-to-market impacts on commodity and foreign currency derivatives (which are primarily a component of cost of sales), general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses), amortization of intangibles, gains and losses on divestitures and acquisition-related costs (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) in all periods presented. The company excludes these items from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of its segment operating results. Furthermore, the company centrally manages benefit plan non-service income and interest and other expense, net. The company does not present the items above by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

ITEMS IMPACTING COMPARABILITY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
The company considers quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of its ongoing financial and business performance and trends. The company identifies these based on how management views the company’s business; makes financial, operating and planning decisions; and evaluates the company’s ongoing performance. The below items are adjusted for in the company’s non-GAAP financial measures to better facilitate comparisons of its underlying performance across periods, as they are highly variable or unusual and of a size that may substantially impact its reported operations for a period. In addition, the company discloses the impact of currency-related items on its financial results to reflect results on a constant currency basis. See below for a description of adjustments to the company’s U.S. GAAP financial measures included herein.

Restructuring charges – Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, the company initiated new restructuring actions to reduce its cost structure and streamline its operations. The charges associated with those actions primarily relate to severance and other implementation costs. The company completed its previous Simplify to Grow Program in 2024. Following the completion of that earlier restructuring program, any adjustments to the liabilities for previously recorded charges, which were immaterial for each period presented, continue to be reflected within this item.

Mark-to-market impacts from derivatives – The company excludes unrealized gains and losses (mark-to-market impacts) from commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts economically hedging forecasted transactions from its non-GAAP earnings measures. The mark-to-market impacts of those derivatives are excluded until the related gains or losses are realized. Since the company purchases commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts to mitigate price volatility primarily for inventory requirements in future periods, the company makes this adjustment to remove the volatility of these future inventory purchases on current operating results to facilitate comparisons of its underlying operating performance across periods.

Acquisition-related items – Includes acquisition-related costs, acquisition integration costs, contingent consideration adjustments, inventory step-ups and gains from acquisitions. Acquisition-related costs include third-party advisor, investment banking and legal fees. Acquisition integration costs include costs related to the integration of operations from acquisitions. Contingent consideration adjustments include any changes made to contingent compensation liabilities for earn-outs related to acquisitions that do not relate to recurring employee compensation expense. Other acquisition-related items include incremental costs from inventory step-ups associated with acquired companies related to the fair market valuation of the acquired inventory and acquisition gains from the remeasurement of an existing noncontrolling investment to fair value when the company acquires the remaining equity shares of the investee.

Divestiture-related items – Includes operating results from divestitures, divestiture-related costs and gains or losses on divestitures. Divestitures may include sales of businesses, exits of major product lines upon completion of a sale or licensing agreement, or sales of equity method investments. Divestiture-related costs include costs incurred in relation to the preparation and completion of divestiture transactions (including one-time costs such as severance related to the elimination of stranded costs) as well as costs incurred associated with publicly announced processes to sell businesses.

Incremental costs due to geopolitical conflicts – Reflects impacts related to the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Includes costs related to transportation surcharges, evacuation costs and committed compensation.

ERP System Implementation costs – The company’s ERP System Implementation program is being implemented by region in several phases with spending continuing over the next three years, with expected completion by year-end 2028. The operating expenses associated with the ERP System Implementation represent incremental transformational costs above the normal ongoing level of spending on information technology to support operations. These expenses include third-party consulting fees, direct labor costs associated with the program, accelerated depreciation of the company's existing SAP financial systems and various other expenses, all associated with the implementation of the company's information technology upgrades.

Remeasurement of net monetary position of highly inflationary countries – The company’s operations in Argentina, Türkiye, Egypt and Nigeria are currently accounted for as highly inflationary. The company excludes remeasurement gains and losses of the monetary assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries in highly inflationary economies and the realized gains and losses from derivatives that mitigate the foreign currency volatility related to the remeasurement of the respective net monetary assets or liabilities from its non-GAAP earnings measures.

Pension participation changes – Consists of the charges incurred, primarily gains or losses from pension curtailments and settlements, including settlement losses from full or partial buyouts of the company's pension plans, as well as costs incurred when employee groups are withdrawn from multiemployer pension plans. The company excludes these charges from its non-GAAP results because those amounts do not reflect the company's ongoing pension obligations.

Initial impacts from enacted tax law changes – Initial impacts from enacted tax law changes include items such as the remeasurement of deferred tax balances and transition taxes from tax reforms. We exclude initial impacts from enacted tax law changes from our non-GAAP financial measures as they do not reflect our ongoing tax obligations under the enacted tax law.

Gains and losses on equity method investment transactions – The company excludes gains and losses from partial or full sales of equity method investments as well as impairments or other non-routine transactions related to those investments.

Currency-related items – Management also evaluates the operating performance of the company and its international subsidiaries on a constant currency basis. The company's non-GAAP measures presented on a constant currency basis exclude the effects of currency translation rate changes and extreme pricing increases in Argentina.

Currency translation rate changes – the company determines its constant currency operating results by dividing or multiplying, as appropriate, the current period local currency operating results by the currency exchange rates used to translate the company’s financial statements in the comparable prior year period to determine what the current-period U.S. dollar operating results would have been if the currency exchange rates had not changed from the comparable prior year period.  Therefore, currency translation rate changes are equal to current period local currency operating results multiplied by the change in average foreign currency exchange rates between the current fiscal period and the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.Extreme Pricing – during December 2023, the Argentinean peso significantly devalued. The peso's devaluation and potential resulting distortion on the company's non-GAAP Organic Net Revenue, Organic Net Revenue growth and other constant currency growth rate measures resulted in the company's decision to exclude the impact of pricing increases in excess of 26% year-over-year ("extreme pricing") in Argentina, from these measures beginning in the first quarter of 2024. The benchmark of 26% represents the minimum annual inflation rate for each year over a 3-year period which would result in a cumulative inflation rate in excess of 100%, the level at which an economy is considered hyperinflationary under U.S. GAAP. OUTLOOK
The company’s Organic Net Revenue growth, Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis, Adjusted Interest Expense, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate and Free Cash Flow for full-year 2026 are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude or otherwise adjust for items impacting comparability of financial results such as the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, intangible asset impairment charges, acquisitions and divestitures. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, the company has not provided that information with regard to the non-GAAP financial measures in the outlook. The company is not able to reconcile its projected Organic Net Revenue growth to its projected reported net revenue growth for the full-year 2026 because the company is unable to predict during this period the impacts from potential acquisitions or divestitures, as well as the impact of currency translation due to the unpredictability of future changes in currency exchange rates, which could be material as a significant portion of the company’s operations are outside the U.S. The company is not able to reconcile the projected Adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis, Adjusted Interest Expense and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate to the company's projected reported diluted EPS growth, reported interest and other expense, net, and reported effective tax rate, respectively, for full-year 2026 due to several factors, which could include: the company's ability to predict during this period mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts, impacts of any impairment charges that may arise in a future period and impacts from potential acquisitions or divestitures as well as the impact of currency translation due to the unpredictability of future changes in currency exchange rates, which could be material as a significant portion of the company's operations are outside the U.S. The company is not able to reconcile the projected Free Cash Flow to the projected net cash from operating activities for full-year 2026 because the company is unable to predict during this period the timing and amount of capital expenditures impacting cash flow. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amounts of future adjustments, which could be significant, the company is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable effort.

Key Takeaways Mondelez to report second-quarter 2026 earnings on July 28, with revenue estimates of $9.22 billion.MDLZ EPS consensus stands at 67 cents, indicating an 8.2% decline year over year.MDLZ earnings may face pressure from elevated cocoa costs, inflation and higher brand spending. Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ - Free Report) is likely to witness top-line growth when it reports second-quarter 2026 earnings on July 28. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $9.22 billion, indicating growth of 2.6% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.

The consensus mark for earnings has remained unchanged over the past 30 days at 67 cents per share, which, however, implies an 8.2% decline from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. MDLZ has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.4%, on average.

Factors Likely to Influence MDLZ’s Upcoming ResultsMondelez’s second-quarter performance is likely to have been supported by resilient demand across its global snacking portfolio, particularly in emerging markets, where consumer demand has remained relatively healthy. Pricing actions across several categories, coupled with continued strength in chocolate, biscuits and gum, are likely to have aided revenue growth despite mixed volume trends in certain developed markets. These factors are likely to have helped the company deliver year-over-year top-line improvement during the to-be-reported quarter.

The company’s broad geographic footprint is also likely to have remained a key strength. Emerging markets are likely to have continued driving business momentum, backed by wider distribution, strong brand execution and healthy performances across key regions. At the same time, developed markets are likely to have shown gradual stabilization, with improving retail dynamics in Europe and sequential recovery in the U.S. biscuit business strengthening the overall operating backdrop.

Mondelez’s continued focus on innovation, brand investments and channel expansion is also likely to have reinforced its competitive positioning. The company has been witnessing steady consumer demand for its well-established brands despite a challenging macro backdrop, supported by premium offerings, product innovation and a broader channel presence. Growing traction across convenience, club and e-commerce channels is also likely to have strengthened customer demand and supported market share trends.

However, profitability is likely to have remained under pressure in the upcoming quarter, as elevated cocoa costs and persistent commodity inflation continued to weigh on gross margins despite pricing actions. Higher brand-building investments and promotional spending might have further pressured operating margins, while pricing-related elasticity and package resizing initiatives are also likely to have weighed on earnings performance.

Key Takeaways Biscuits and baked snacks posted 1.7% organic net revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026. Ritz Drizzled helped the brand gain 0.2 percentage points of market share year to date. Mondelez is expanding distribution in emerging markets and convenience, club and online channels. Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ - Free Report) is relying on its biscuit portfolio to support sales growth, with Oreo and Ritz continuing to play an important role in the category. The company's strategy combines established brands with product innovation and broader distribution as it works to strengthen its biscuits business across markets.

The approach delivered encouraging results in the first quarter of 2026. Biscuits and baked snacks, which represented 48% of fiscal 2025 net revenues, generated organic net revenue growth of 1.7%, supported by a 0.6-percentage-point improvement in volume and mix. Oreo and Ritz were among the brands that posted growth during the quarter, while the U.S. biscuit business returned to slight growth after showing sequential improvement.

Innovation remains an important part of that effort. During the quarter, Mondelez introduced Ritz Drizzled, a sweet-and-salty extension of its Ritz crackers featuring fudge or caramel coating. The company said the launch helped the Ritz brand gain 0.2 percentage points of market share year to date. Oreo also featured in the company's innovation lineup with Oreo Minis.

Alongside innovation, Mondelez is expanding distribution in emerging markets and increasing its presence in under-indexed developed-market channels, including convenience, club and online, where these channels contributed to improved U.S. biscuit volume performance on a sequential basis.

The first-quarter performance indicates that Oreo and Ritz continue to support Mondelez's biscuits business through a combination of brand growth, innovation and wider distribution. At the same time, the company noted that the U.S. biscuit category remains soft, although its own biscuit business has shown signs of stabilization. Continued execution across these initiatives will be important in supporting future sales growth for the category.

Key Takeaways Mondelez is expanding innovation across chocolate, biscuits, baked snacks and candy. Biscoff, Milkinis and Toblerone launches show momentum across key markets and channels. Organic net revenues rose 3% in Q1 2026, while volume/mix fell 0.5% on package downsizing. Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ - Free Report) is sharpening its innovation agenda to support consumer demand and improve volume trends across its global snacking portfolio. The company’s product pipeline is focused on new occasions, stronger brand relevance and momentum across chocolate, biscuits, baked snacks and candy.

As part of its first-quarter innovation update, Mondelez highlighted Cadbury Biscoff Egg, expanding the Biscoff platform with Cadbury chocolate, Biscoff spread and biscuit pieces. The platform has already exceeded expectations across many markets. Mondelez also introduced Milkinis in India, while Toblerone Very Limited Editions sold out in World Travel Retail despite premium pricing.

The innovation push is also visible in biscuits and baked snacks. Ritz Drizzled adds a sweet-and-salty twist to classic Ritz crackers and helped Ritz gain 0.2 percentage points of share year to date. In candy, Sour Patch Kids Chews expanded the brand’s portfolio, while Sour Patch Kids share is growing approximately 1 percentage point year to date.

These launches come as Mondelez works to balance pricing-led growth with healthier volume performance. In the first quarter of 2026, organic net revenues grew 3%, with pricing contributing 3.5 percentage points and volume/mix declining 0.5 percentage points. The volume/mix decline was due to package downsizing in select markets, with underlying volume/mix positive after excluding that impact.

Overall, MDLZ’s innovation pipeline gives the company a clear lever to rebuild demand beyond pricing. While volume recovery is still developing, broader product activity across key categories, distribution gains and stronger channel execution may support more balanced growth over time.

MDLZ Stock Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of Mondelez International have tumbled 13.2% over the past year compared with the industry’s decline of 20.7%. MDLZ currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
