Monday, May 20, 12:55 PM Kellogg (K -0.9%) has seen its Special K brand be a star performer for the company for years as it continues to peck away more market share due to low-calorie products which have been decidedly on-trend. The next step from the brand is a wave of new products which will feature additional nutritional benefits on top of the low calorie counts. Kellogg has also developed a loyal following from its online weight management program which claims over 2M members. Comment! [Consumer]
Friday, May 10, 12:58 PM The corn crop could be bigger than originally forecast as farmers in the U.S. Corn Belt delay planting to take advantage of a huge amount of rainfall this spring in the Midwest. The USDA said in its monthly forecast released today it expects a stockpile of 2.004B bushels of corn, above the analyst estimate of 1.973B bushels. The read-through of lower corn prices to U.S. companies is far-reaching, but a few food concerns to watch for potential margin relief include Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD +1.1%), General Mills (GIS +0.3%), Kellogg (K +0.4%), Campbell Soup (CPB +0.1%), PepsiCo (PEP +0.1%), Coca-Cola (KO -0.3%), and Post Holdings (POST +0.5%).

Friday, May 3, 10:00 AM Kellogg (K -0.3%) reported slightly disappointing results for Q1 but a bigger development could be brewing behind the scenes, tips off dealReporter. At last week's annual meeting, shareholders finally approved a measure which will see the company's board de-staggered. The approval indicates activist investors may have a little more pull at Kellogg than in the past. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, May 2, 9:40 AM Shares of Kellogg (K -1%) could be a minor steal today after the company's earnings miss has some investors skittish. Though food input costs hit the company hard in Q1, Kellogg backed its guidance for the full-year and sees inflation moderating considerably. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, May 2, 8:15 AM More on Kellogg's (K) Q1: The company cites a significant impact on costs from inflation but says it's on track to meet guidance for the full year. By region, Latin America saw internal sales grow 7.4% while Europe was up 2.6% and North America rose 1.7%. A new $1B share repurchase program is approved. K -1.7% premarket.

Friday, April 26, 3:56 PM Kellogg Company (K) declares $0.44/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 2.62%. For shareholders of record June 03. Payable June 17. Ex-div date May 30. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Tuesday, April 16, 1:15 PM Private label brand breakthrough: A survey released by Deloitte on brand loyalty could rattle the food and grocery sectors as a whopping 94% of consumers indicate they will stick with private-label or store brands instead of reverting back to costlier options. Industry insiders think even if the economy comes roaring back, a paradigm shift of consumer attitudes toward food purchases may already be entrenched. The trend could favor Treehouse Foods (THS), Safeway (SWY), Kroger (KR), Costco (COST), Whole Foods Market (WFM) - while creating a headache for Kellogg (K), Post Holdings (POST), Campbell Soup (CPB), Kraft Foods (KRFT), and General Mills (GIS). 10 Comments [Consumer]
Monday, April 1, 1:53 PM Commodity input costs for food companies could be lower in Q2 if the trend of lower prices on corn, wheat, and soybean sustains. What to watch: Though the sector is getting tagged as overbought and the Heinz premium hanging over it could wear out, improving margins might be enough to take General Mills (GIS -1.4%), Kellogg (K -0.8%), J.M. Smucker (SJM -0.3%), and Campbell Soup (CPB +0.4%) to even greater heights this year. Comment! [Consumer]
Thursday, March 28, 1:59 PM A trend to watch: The sharpest drop in corn prices in nine months on a higher-than-expected tally of domestic corn inventories could bode well for a number of food companies expecting to see high commodity costs. Though the implications can be broad if lower corn prices take hold, a few firms which might see a margin kick include General Mills (GIS +0.6%), PepsiCo (PEP +0.6%), Coca-Cola (KO +0.3%), Post Holdings (POST +1%), and Kellogg (K -0.3%). 5 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 27, 8:39 AM Has the rally in consumer staples (XLP) stocks run its course? A group of large well-known defensive stocks have been on the offensive in 2013 with all-time highs falling left and right to stretch some valuations beyond historic norms. Though upgrades on the sector are still piling in, skeptics are advising investors to tread carefully. On watch: PG, CLX, KO, K, GIS, CL, BUD, EL. 3 Comments [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, March 13, 1:58 PM Analysts line up Diamond Foods (DMND +2.8%) as a possible acquisition target as the company puts its earnings reporting troubles in the rear-view mirror. One potential suitor could be Kellogg (K +0.3%) on the theory that if the food company target was called a "good fit" by execs last year with DMND trading at $28 a share - it might look even tastier at $16. 5 Comments [Consumer]
Wednesday, March 13, 10:02 AM Interesting proxy filing of the week: Kellogg (K -0.2%) shareholders will vote on a shareholder proposal to de-stagger the company's board at a meeting in April. The same proposal lost by a narrow margin last year, but this time around the recent mega-deal involving Heinz may have shareholders looking at the board in a different light. (14A) Comment!
