Deep dives

Kraft Heinz reports negative organic sales growth due to lower volumes

Kraft Heinz reported negative organic sales growth for the first time since 2020. The decline was primarily driven by lower volumes, which outweighed price increases. The company's portfolio remains strong, but consumers are currently purchasing on a need basis rather than stockpiling, leading to reduced sales. Kraft Heinz expects prices to slowly decrease and plans to optimize their portfolio to drive growth. Mondelēz, with lower price increases and better volume performance, is an example of a company positioned well in the current market.
