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): 11.1
Based on analyst estimates
Reference: Provider P/E (Forward): 11.1
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

Dividend Summary
Powered by EODHDDividend Yield (Fwd)

TTM: 7.05%
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.

Payout Ratio (Fwd)

Payout RatioDividends as a percentage of earnings. The Forward payout (Fwd) uses the announced dividend divided by actual past earnings (TTM) — it tells you if the company can afford what it promised. Very high payouts can be risky, especially if profits fall.

Summary
Kraft Heinz offers an alluring 6.81% forward yield safely covered by free cash flow (2.01x), bolstered by major recent legal victories dismissing significant federal UPF liabilities. However, persistent multi-billion dollar brand impairments and a decade of flat-to-declining top and bottom lines indicate permanent secular stagnation rather than a temporary dip. Not recommended for new positions.
Sector Context
The Kraft Heinz Company manufactures and markets packaged food and beverage products globally. While the food sector generally provides highly defensive, essential-service cash flows, changing consumer preferences and tightening state-level additive regulations (such as California's Food Safety Act) force ongoing, costly product reformulations.
📊 Strategy Analysis
- • Robust free cash flow easily covers the 6.81% forward dividend with a strong 2.01x coverage ratio.
- • Trades at a significantly discounted valuation of 11.15x forward P/E.
- • Major structural risk reduction achieved following the dismissal with prejudice of federal ultra-processed food (UPF) personal injury and PFAS false advertising lawsuits.
⚠ What to Watch
- • Severe secular stagnation evidenced by a 10-year revenue CAGR of -0.5% and an 8-year ex-loss earnings decline of -3.3%.
- • Chronic brand value erosion marked by massive non-cash goodwill impairments (including $7.4B in Q2 2026 and $9.3B in Q2 2025), heavily depressing ROE to -8.76%.
- • A legacy 2019 dividend cut of -36% firmly caps its track record reliability under strict dividend growth investing rules.
