Key Metrics
Powered by EODHDP/E (TTM)
N/A
P/E (Price-to-Earnings)Shows how much investors pay for each $1 of profit. We display the TTM P/E (Trailing Twelve Months) which uses actual earnings from the last 4 quarters. This is more reliable than Forward P/E which uses analyst estimates.
TTM period through: 2026-06-30
Why N/A?
EPS (TTM) = -2.87 (negative or zero)
Cannot calculate P/E with negative earnings.
Forward P/E (estimated): 12.2
Based on analyst estimates
Reference: Provider P/E (Forward): 12.2
ROE
-8.8%
ROE (Return on Equity)A profitability measure: how much profit is generated from shareholders’ equity. Higher isn’t always better if it comes from high debt.
EV/EBITDA
13.1x
EV/EBITDAA valuation ratio that compares total business value (including debt) to EBITDA. Lower can mean cheaper, but context matters.
Dividend Summary

TTM: 6.52%
Dividend YieldThe Forward yield (Fwd) shows the next announced annual dividend / current price — what you'd earn going forward. The Trailing yield (TTM) in the tooltip shows dividends actually paid in the last 12 months. Forward is shown as primary because it reflects the company's current commitment to shareholders.

Summary
Kraft Heinz offers an attractive 6.3% forward yield that is securely covered by robust free cash flow, alongside a discounted 12.17x forward P/E. However, chronic multi-billion dollar brand impairment charges, stagnant long-term revenues, and emerging structural headwinds from UPF litigation point to secular business decay rather than cyclical weakness. Not recommended for new DGI positions, as eroding fundamentals and a complete lack of dividend growth present a classic value trap.
Sector Context
The Consumer Packaged Foods industry provides defensive, essential cash flows, but companies relying heavily on legacy processing and packaging are facing intense structural headwinds from shifting consumer health preferences, stringent new regulatory mandates, and rising liability risks.
Temporary Opportunity Identified
Massive GAAP accounting losses are driven by non-cash impairment charges, heavily distorting net income while the business still generates positive free cash flow. However, the root cause—eroding brand value—is a permanent structural issue.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Generates robust free cash flow, easily covering the dividend with a safe 41.03% cash flow payout ratio and 2.01x FCF coverage.
- • Trades at a discounted valuation of 12.17x forward P/E, offering an attractive 6.29% forward dividend yield.
⚠ What to Watch
- • Chronic history of massive non-cash brand impairment charges ($7.4B in mid-2026, $9.3B in mid-2025, and $1.4B in late 2024) underscores a structural decay in legacy brand equity.
- • Long-term fundamentals demonstrate secular stagnation with a 10-year revenue CAGR of -0.5%, an 8-year adjusted earnings CAGR of -3.3%, and 0% dividend growth over the past 5 years.
- • Faces severe structural headwinds from emerging ultra-processed food (UPF) 'addiction' litigation, incoming EU PFAS packaging bans, and over $19 billion in inflexible legacy debt.
