Description: KHC Kraft Heinz

The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ: KHC) manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of food and beverage products-including condiments, cheese, meals, meats, coffee, and snack items-under iconic brands such as Kraft, Heinz, Oscar Mayer, Philadelphia, and Lunchables, serving both North American and international markets.

Its sales reach consumers through a mix of direct sales teams, independent brokers, and a wide array of retail and food-service channels, ranging from grocery chains and mass merchants to pharmacies, e-commerce platforms, hotels, hospitals, and government institutions.

Founded in 1869 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company rebranded from H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation to The Kraft Heinz Company in July 2015 and now operates within the GICS Sub-Industry “Packaged Foods & Meats.”

Key recent metrics (FY 2024): revenue of $27.2 billion (up 3 % YoY), adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.8 % (down 0.4 ppt), and a forward P/E of ≈ 12×, reflecting modest earnings growth amid rising commodity costs and inflation-driven pricing pressure. The sector’s performance is heavily influenced by raw-material price volatility (e.g., dairy, meat, and agricultural inputs) and shifting consumer demand toward “better-for-you” and private-label alternatives.
