Kraft Heinz is reportedly examining a potential $20 billion grocery business spin-off as the firm restructures. Despite some reports suggesting this move may not unlock significant new value, stock prices rose following these reports. The firm also has $4.3 billion in pension assets to leverage during this strategic shift. Kraft Heinz has also recently agreed to sell its Italian baby and specialty food business to Italy’s NewPrinces Group. Furthermore, Goldman Sachs has upgraded the company to neutral, following consistent stock performance outpacing the market. Despite the potential break-up, some still find value in the firm, citing resilient dividends amid macroeconomic turbulence, and a steadfast commitment to brand investments. The possibility of asset divestitures over $3 billion could lead to a re-rating in Kraft’s valuation. There’s also a focus on enhancing their product line, recently teaming up with Uber Eats to launch a new program and plans to remove artificial dyes from products by 2027. Amidst changes, Kraft is still considered a mature asset with resilient cash flows, with plans to focus on their top brands and strategic innovations.
