<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/">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>Comparing Mondelez International'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Mondelez International's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.61%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Mondelez International?

During this quarter's earnings cycle, many companies have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">warned of cautious consumers due to high and persistent inflation. </a>And it's not just big-ticket items such as cars and furniture on which consumers are cutting back.
J M Smucker Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SJM#NYSE">SJM</a>), the parent company of Smucker's jelly and jams, warned that people are cutting back spending at convenience stores. Smucker's, which also owns the Jif peanut butter and Uncrustable brands, reported stronger-than-expected EPS in the company's first quarter, but the company's lower guidance and cautious commentary led to a sell-off in shares after the report.
Shares closed Wednesday's session down nearly 5%; on Thursday, shares were down 1.30% at $113.32 at publication.

The company did highlight significant, double-digit growth in its Uncrustable brand, a packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwich found in the frozen section of grocery stores. But, in other areas such as coffee, executives at Smucker's highlighted higher input costs caused the company to raise prices, thus weakening sales.
If consumers continue to cut back on spending at convenience stores and on brand-name products, it could be a headwind for other food companies such as Mondelez International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>), Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) and General Mills (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>). Thursday morning, Dollar General Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40623595/dollar-general-q2-earnings-earnings-miss-slashed-outlook-and-shrinking-margins">reported earnings</a> that came in below Wall Street estimates and warned of a &#8220;cash-strapped&#8221; customer, echoing the sentiment from Smucker's.

With a 9% rally over the last six sessions, this marks the best six-day run since November 2022, signaling that bullish sentiment remains alive among traders who jumped at the opportunity to buy tech stocks on the dip.

Within tech industries, semiconductor stocks saw the most significant gains, with the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NYSE">SMH</a>) up 16% over the last six sessions, also marking its strongest streak since late 2022.
The easing of recession fears that surfaced earlier this month has been the primary catalyst driving the recovery in the stock markets, particularly in tech stocks, which were among the hardest hit at the start of the month.
The U.S. economy hasn&#8217;t appeared as sluggish as some early August economic data suggested—especially the disappointing July jobs report.
Initial jobless claims have unexpectedly declined over the past two weeks, casting reasonable doubt on whether the July increase in the unemployment rate from 4.1% to 4.3% was merely a temporary anomaly rather than a sign of deeper labor market issues.
Retail sales also sharply exceeded expectations in July, showing a robust 1% month-over-month increase—the fastest pace since January 2023. Not exactly what you would expect from an economy on the brink of a recession.

Nasdaq 100 Sees Best 6-Day Rally Since Late 2022 As Traders Ride Bull Market Wave: Tech Stocks On The Move Thursday

Management

Teamsters Says Mondelēz Teamsters Unanimously Authorize Strike; Members Of Teamsters Local 104 Working At Mondelēz Have Unanimously Authorized Strike

Goldman Sachs analyst Leah Jordan initiated coverage of the packaged food sector. The analyst writes that growth in the sector has slowed following the Covid demand surge and inflation, but some companies are undervalued near historic lows.
The analyst expects food-at-home spending to grow at a low-single-digit rate, supported by both volume and pricing due to strong consumer cash flow.
Jordan initiated coverage on ConAgra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAG#NYSE">CAG</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/Cag/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating and price target of $36</a>.
The analyst views CAG favorably due to its strong frozen and snack portfolio aligned with convenience trends, offering better-than-expected results and the highest free cash flow yield in the coverage. The company&#8217;s transformation, including the Pinnacle Foods acquisition and process overhaul, has been underappreciated by investors, particularly given the Covid-related market shifts, writes the analyst.
For FY25-27, the analyst estimates EPS of $2.67, $2.78, and $2.89 vs. the consensus (FactSet) of $2.61, $2.70, and $2.82, respectively, reflecting a more optimistic outlook on volume and mix trends.

The analyst initiated coverage on General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>), with a Buy rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gis/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and price target of $76</a>.
GIS&#8217; diverse portfolio aligns with current trends, has less private label risk than feared, and demonstrates stronger margins compared to peers, writes the analyst. The analyst forecasts stable gross margins for GIS, with gradual improvement supported by moderating input cost inflation and ongoing productivity gains.
For FY25-27, Jordan projects EPS of $4.55, $4.75, and $4.95, compared to the consensus (FactSet) of $4.50, $4.73, and $4.94, respectively.

Jordan initiated coverage on Kellanova (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/K#NYSE">K</a>) with a Neutral rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/k/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and a price target of $75</a>.
The spin-off of its North American cereal business has enhanced growth and margins. While strong earnings are expected from its brand strength and emerging market exposure, takeover speculation has dampened investor sentiment, says the analyst.
For FY24-26, Jordan estimates EPS of $3.80, $3.97, and $4.21 compared to the consensus (FactSet) of $3.70, $3.89, and $4.10, respectively.

Moreover, the analyst started coverage of Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>) with a Buy rating and a $80 price target.
The analyst writes that MDLZ is seen as a high-quality investment with strong growth potential, driven by organic opportunities and emerging market exposure. Recent stock underperformance has been linked to market share losses and higher U.S. biscuit pricing pressures, but trends are improving, and the company is actively addressing these challenges.
For FY24-26, EPS estimates were $3.52/$3.70/$3.95 above the consensus (FactSet) of $3.50/$3.67/$3.94.

On the other hand, the analyst started coverage on The Hershey Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>) with a Sell rating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hsy/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">and a price target of $185</a>.
The analyst sees risks of estimate revisions and valuation compression for HSY due to ongoing market share losses to both private label and premium products, a potential slowdown in impulse spending, and fewer holiday shopping days. However, the analyst writes that HSY&#8217;s strong portfolio of industry-leading sweet and salty brands positions it well in the long term.
For FY24-26, the analyst anticipates EPS of $9.39/$9.10/$9.86 below the consensus (FactSet) of $9.54/$9.52/$10.29, reflecting a weaker demand and margin outlook for confectionery business, market share losses, and expected higher promotional activity and input costs.

Also, the analyst initiated coverage of The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/khc/analyst-ratings">Sell rating and price target of $34.</a>
The analyst says that KHC&#8217;s turnaround is likely to be slower and more challenging than expected due to high private label risks and mixed brand positioning. The company faces the task of reinvesting in its assets and brands after past cost-cutting damaged core assets, adds the analyst.
For FY24-26, the analyst estimates EPS of $2.97, $3.04, and $3.20, below the consensus (FactSet) of $3.03, $3.18, and $3.35, due to a weaker North American outlook, increased promotional pressure from high private label risk, and prior underinvestment.
