Mondelez International

Mondelez has operated as an independent organization since its split from the former Kraft Foods North American grocery business in October 2012. The firm is a leading player in the global snack enclave with a presence in the biscuit (49% of sales), chocolate (30%), gum/candy (12%), beverage (3%), and cheese and grocery (6%) aisles, as of the end of fiscal 2023. Mondelez's portfolio includes well-known brands like Oreo, Chips Ahoy, Halls, and Cadbury, among others. The firm derives around one third of revenue from developing markets, just more than one third from Europe, and the remainder from North America.

Mondelez International Inc

Mondelez International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>) is bracing for rising costs as the "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41822473/trumps-potential-health-czar-robert-f-kennedy-jr-rattles-vaccine-stocks-shoot-first-reaction" rel="noreferrer noopener">Make America Healthy Again</a>" (MAHA) initiative, spearheaded by the U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. adds pressure to the company.
According to Mondelez CEO Dirk van de Put, this movement may result in major reformulations of well-known U.S. products such as Ritz crackers and Chips Ahoy cookies, necessitating adjustments to ingredients and food colorings. These modifications are anticipated to drive up production expenses, reported Reuters.
Kennedy is vocal about specific food ingredients and the condition of major public health organizations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health.
Speaking at the&nbsp;2025 Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) Conference, the company's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43781887/mondel-z-international-showcases-continued-progress-on-sustainable-growth-highlights-attractive-ca" rel="noreferrer noopener">executives shared their perspectives </a>on its strategic goals and leadership in key markets, highlighting expansion in promising areas such as cakes and pastries.
"Our strong foundation of iconic brands and attractive categories position us for continued value creation," said Chair and CEO Dirk Van de Put.

"We're excited about our strong playbook to win in large and attractive adjacencies, like cakes and pastries, that provide a significant runway of growth opportunities."
The company's Chocolate Category recorded an 8% growth in 2024. the <a target="_blank" href="https://ir.mondelezinternational.com/static-files/d6229044-e6b4-4449-93bd-2d677ec8c1b0" rel="noreferrer noopener">strategy to navigate the rising cocoa</a> costs include targeted cost savings, increased cocoa supply chain resiliency and safeguarding entry-level pricing and low unit pricing
to support consumption.
Consumers can also expect higher prices on chocolate products, with Van de Put projecting a 30% to 50% increase in chocolate costs, particularly due to a supply crisis in Africa.
Mondelez's fourth-quarter revenue of $9.60 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.65 both <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43488899/your-oreos-to-cost-more-mondelez-warns-of-unprecedented-cocoa-price" rel="noreferrer noopener">missed the consensus estimates</a>.
The company expects FY25 adjusted EPS to decline approximately 10% on a constant currency basis due to unprecedented cocoa cost inflation.
The company is dealing with issues that differ sharply from the wider consumer goods industry, where inflation worries have caused a pause in price increases and even some discounts.
According to a Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-18/mondelez-sees-chocolate-prices-rising-up-to-50-on-cocoa-surge?srnd=phx-industries-consumer&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, the near tripling of cocoa prices last year has had a direct effect on the chocolate giants.
Price Action: MDLZ shares closed higher by 1.23% at $61.93 on Wednesday.

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated to correct a paragraph written about the Coca-Cola Co, not Coca-Cola Consolidated Inc. 
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Wednesday that six dairy herds in Nevada have tested positive for a strain of bird flu associated with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/25/02/43511263/high-egg-prices-drive-waffle-house-to-add-50-cent-surcharge">man's death in January.</a>
The Details: The infected Nevada cows mark the first time the D1.1 variant of the H5N1 bird flu has been detected in cattle, which means the cows contracted the virus from birds and not another herd of cattle. 
This is the second time a type of bird flu has been introduced into cattle herds by wild birds, according to a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/health/bird-flu-cattle-nevada/index.html">report</a>. If wild birds are spreading the disease to cattle, it could become endemic, or continuously circulating.&nbsp;

"In my opinion, it is now endemic, and it should be classified as an endemic virus," Dr. Louise Moncla, a pathobiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, told CNN.&nbsp;
The D1.1 variant is the strain associated with a Louisiana man's death in January and a severe case contracted by a teenager in British Columbia who was hospitalized in critical condition last fall.&nbsp;
Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona who has studied the H5N1 virus in cattle, <a href="https://fortune.com/well/2025/02/06/new-bird-flu-spread-cows-nebraska-expert-warns-could-worse-covid/">told</a> Fortune that the virus has the potential to "make COVID seem like a walk in the park" and federal officials should quickly share information in order to stop the spread.&nbsp;
That may be hard to do, considering the Trump administration in late January <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/43194764/trump-administration-halts-all-communications-from-the-centers-for-disease-control-as-bird-flu-spreads">ordered all</a> communications from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop. The pause in communications includes the CDC&#8217;s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a scientific publication on health information and recommendations.
Stocks To Watch: According <a href="https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-detections/hpai-confirmed-cases-livestock">to the USDA</a>, H5N1 avian influenza has been detected in 957 herds in 16 states. Companies exposed to the dairy industry are on watch due to the uncertainty surrounding bird flu in cattle herds. 
Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) has over 80 dairy products under 15 brands including Fairlife milk and Core Power protein shakes and would likely be sensitive to dairy price increases or shortages. 
Chocolate makers like Hershey Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>) and Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>) are also heavily exposed to the dairy industry as milk is one of their top ingredients.&nbsp;
General Mills Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>), maker of Häagen-Dazs ice cream, Yoplait and Oui French-style yogurt, should also be monitored as the bird flu situation develops.&nbsp;

Deadly Bird Flu Strain Hits Dairy Cows: 'Could Make COVID Seem Like A Walk In The Park,' Expert Says (CORRECTED)

The Kansas City Chiefs are attempting to win a third straight Super Bowl on Sunday with a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. While millions of NFL fans will tune in for the big game, millions will also tune in to see the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl commercials.</a>
What Happened: NFL media partner Fox Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) has the rights to Super Bowl LIX and set its sights on charging $7 million for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43324031/super-bowl-lix-commercials-hit-record-8-million-how-fox-corporation-can-win-from-nfl-championship">30-second commercial slots.</a>
The media company was able to secure the majority of its ad slots in the $7 million to $7.5 million range and some last-minute availability came with a price tag of $8 million. Fox also saw strong demand and price increases compared to last year for the pre-game and post-game slots.
While some companies are skeptical to advertise during the Super Bowl due to the high cost, last year's record viewership could lure major brands back, as the game remains one of the most-watched events in the U.S. annually.
