Over the course of this report, it will be argued that overly pessimistic investor sentiment and supposedly shifting industry trends have led Kraft Heinz (KHC) to be priced far below its true value. This is a pitch for a value play; hence, the valuation will be addressed first and the business itself later. However, to be clear, we believe KHC to be an industry-leading company in its operations as well as its brands.
ThesisKHC's Q1 results have been earmarked as being relatively weak by the CEO. He told investors to expect "more second half than first half" for the year. This may result in a lower entry point in the short term. We have a 12-month price target of 68.41 (14.6%). This is based on the average industry earnings multiple, base case value from our FCFE model, median broker forecast, with the upside cut by 50%. The total 12-month return would then be 18.7%. Although this forecast looks satisfactory – we view Kraft as a long-term investment – but do not think it is appropriate to extrapolate returns out any further.
