Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) 주식, 공매도 수량 보고

Kraft Heinz

In July 2015, Kraft merged with Heinz to create one of North America's largest food and beverage manufacturers. Beyond its namesake brands, the combined firm's portfolio includes Oscar Mayer, Velveeta, and Philadelphia. While the retail channel drives around 85% of its total sales, the firm also maintains a growing foodservice presence. Outside North America, Kraft Heinz's global reach counts a distribution network in Europe and emerging markets that drives nearly 25% of its consolidated sales base, as its products are sold in more than 190 countries and territories.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Defensive Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yields

WIIM

DLTR

Shares of consumer staples companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

In the current market session, Kraft Heinz Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) price is at $28.64, after a 3.43% spike. However, over the past month, the stock decreased by 5.48%, and in the past year, by 21.71%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744225234_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Kraft Heinz P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Kraft Heinz has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 22.09 of the Food Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744225234_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Shares of consumer stocks are trading lower. Weak guidance from Kohl's may causing consumer spending concerns. Additional steel and aluminum tariffs may also increase input costs for some companies.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) will join the S&amp;P 100 index, S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices announced Friday, as the data analytics firm continues its remarkable post-election rally.
What Happened: &#8220;Palantir is proud to be admitted into the S&amp;P 100. Onwards,&#8221; the company stated Sunday on X.
The Denver-based company will replace Dow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) in the index effective Mar. 24, coinciding with the quarterly rebalance. Intuitive Surgical Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) and ServiceNow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>) will also join the S&amp;P 100, replacing The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
Palantir has emerged as the top-performing S&amp;P 500 stock since President Donald Trump&#8216;s November election victory, surging nearly 60% to $84.82. This represents an annualized return exceeding 184%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44202991/best-and-worst-performing-sp-500-stocks-since-trumps-election-win">according to Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Why It Matters: Recent analyst assessments present a mixed outlook. While the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">consensus price target</a> stands at $70.30 among 25 analysts, the three most recent ratings from Wedbush, Loop Capital, and Citigroup average $123.67, implying a potential upside of nearly 46%.

Price Action: Palantir closed at $84.90 on Friday, up 5.52% for the day, before dipping 0.09% to $84.82 in after-hours trading. Year to date, the stock has gained 12.92%, while it has surged 234.92% over the past year.

Palantir Joins S&P 100 After AI-Driven Rally, Stock Surges Almost 60% Since Trump Victory

Kraft Heinz's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NYSE">KHC</a>) short percent of float has risen 11.14% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 39.76 million shares sold short, which is 4.59% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.45 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Kraft Heinz Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741278641_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Kraft Heinz has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Kraft Heinz's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kraft Heinz's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.27%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on Kraft Heinz, Lowers Price Target to $29

BofA Securities analyst Peter T. Galbo downgraded Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KHC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy to Underperform</a> and lowered the price forecast from&nbsp;$36.00&nbsp;to&nbsp;$30.00 after reviewing the fourth-quarter FY24 results and the underwhelming FY25 outlook.
The decision to downgrade at these levels may not seem bold, but the analyst foresees limited <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43659608/kraft-heinz-records-4-decline-in-q4-sales-as-demand-slows-stocks-slide" rel="noreferrer noopener">organic sales growth </a>in the next 12 months.
Unlike peers in the food sector like Hershey Co and Mondelez International Inc, who have adjusted their EPS forecasts for FY25, KHC is still facing revenue challenges, per the analyst.
Related: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43488899/your-oreos-to-cost-more-mondelez-warns-of-unprecedented-cocoa-price" rel="noreferrer noopener">Snacks Giant Mondelez Q4 Earnings: Sales Miss, EPS Falls Short, Cocoa Inflation Threatens 2025 &amp; More</a>
The analyst has revised 2025-2026E EPS estimates down from $2.97 and $3.13 to $2.65 and $2.70, respectively, with a new 2027E EPS forecast of $2.75.
Since the analyst&#8217;s previous &#8216;Buy&#8217; recommendation, progress on KHC&#8217;s two highest-priority platforms, &#8220;Accelerate&#8221; and &#8220;Protect,&#8221; has been disappointing.

The &#8220;Accelerate&#8221; initiatives, such as Taste Elevation, Easy Ready Meals, and Substantial Snacking (which represent about two-thirds of global sales), which are core to driving KHC&#8217;s 2-3% organic sales growth, have slowed significantly in recent quarters.
Challenges in categories like condiments (Mayo), Mac &amp; Cheese, and Lunchables are likely to persist until at least the second half of 2025.
Any positive revenue growth in 2025 is likely to come from KHC&#8217;s lower-priority &#8220;Balance&#8221; platform, particularly through coffee price increases, which the analyst doesn&#8217;t see as a strong solution.
The analyst has been optimistic about the potential advantages of selling Oscar Mayer. Although a sale still seems logical for KHC, due to the negative impact on organic sales, the company recorded a $1.4 billion impairment on the brand in the fourth quarter.
The challenges in the deli category, stemming from a competitor issue, and the subdued valuations of peers could reduce the impact of a sale, opined the analyst.
The analyst&#8217;s $30 price forecast is based on 11x P/E multiple (prior prior 12x) on the CY26 EPS estimate.
Price Action: KHC shares are trading higher by 0.90% at $28.88 at the last check Thursday.
