- Tuesday, May 21, 4:53 PM Kraft Foods Group (KRFT) declares $0.50/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 3.53%. For shareholders of record June 28. Payable July 12. Ex-div date June 26. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Wednesday, May 15, 1:08 PM The International Coffee Organization forecasts coffee production in Central America will shrink 16% during the current growing season that runs from October to September due to a widespread fungus in the region that is wreaking havoc. Though only 10% of the world's coffee comes from Central American countries, it's an important region for many premium blend sellers. Wholesale coffee buyers: GMCR, KRFT, SJM, SBUX, CBOU. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 15, 8:16 AM It hasn't gone unnoticed by beverage companies that an estimated 20% of Americans know they should drink more water, but don't like the taste. With names likes Fruitwater, Vitaminwater, and Smartwater - companies including Coca-Cola (KO), PepsiCo (PEP), and Kraft Food Group (KRFT) plan to take advantage of this growing trend with new products to help drive up sales. The consumer love affair with flavored water also sets up nicely for SodaStream (SODA). 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, May 6, 11:44 AM Jefferies raises its price target on Kraft Foods (KRFT -0.5%) to $60 from $52 and reiterates a Buy rating, citing the company's position "as one of the best operators in the U.S. packaged food industry." Declining restructuring costs could contribute to earnings growth over time and KRFT's "industry leading 3.8% dividend yield" makes the shares attractive as a "fixed income alternative." (Previous: KRFT handily beats estimates) 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Friday, May 3, 1:24 PM Kraft Foods Group (KRFT +6.8%) cuts the prices on Gevalie coffee by 6% following similar measures by other coffee sellers including Starbucks. The sustained drop in green coffee costs leaves plenty of room for coffee sellers to pad margins. (chart) Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, May 2, 7:13 PM More on Kraft Foods (KRFT): Q1 handily beats as its standalone strategy begins to take hold. The saw cost savings materialize faster than expected in the quarter and pushed hard to defend itself from new entrants in some of its namesake categories, like macaroni and cheese. Sales rose 2.1%, improving significantly from a 7.2% decline in the previous quarter due to built- up inventory at retailers ahead of last October's split-up. Shares +2% AH. 1 Comment [Consumer, Earnings, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 2, 4:06 PM Kraft Foods (KRFT): Q1 EPS of $0.76 beats by $0.12. Revenue of $4.55B (+2.1% Y/Y) beats by $6M. KRFT +0.9% AH. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Breaking News, Earnings]

- 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 15, 3:27 PM Is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR -4.4%) gaining enough market share to compensate for lower K-cup prices? That's the question that could be answered when the company reports earning on May 8 and also has importance in evaluating the next couple of quarters. Sector watch: The company - along with peers (KRFT, SJM, PEET, DNKN) - received a bit of a jolt when Starbucks dropped the pricing on its 12-ounce bagged coffee by a dollar to $8.99. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, April 12, 9:17 AM Starbucks (SBUX) will slash prices on 12-ounce packages of branded and Seattle's Best coffee found in grocery stores. Price cuts will amount to more than 10% on both products and are aimed at keeping the company's grocery brands competitive with those of J.M. Smucker (Folgers, Dunkin') and Kraft Foods (Maxwell House), all of which have seen price reductions recently. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 2, 7:05 PM Citi strategists tweak the criteria for their top dividend-paying stock picks, lowering the standard for dividend yield while adding a new filter for dividend momentum “to give more emphasis on dividend safety and growth." The full list: MO, AEP, T, AVB, BMY, ED, D, DD, DUK, INTC, KMB, KRFT, LLY, MCD, MRK, MSFT, NU, NOC, OXY, PFE, PM, RTN, SRE, SO, SYY, XEL. 5 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, March 21, 9:29 AM Coffee watch: Coffee futures (chart) continue to drift lower this year. Though some relief for bagged coffee sellers on wholesale costs is already built into estimates, the margin boost could be even better than expected. A long-term trend to watch is demand in India where the emerging coffee scene could be a disrupter to pricing if sales soar. Coffee players: DNKN, SBUX, GMR, PEET, KRFT, SJM. Comment! [Consumer, Commodities]
- Wednesday, March 6, 7:46 AM Kraft Foods (KRFT) declares $0.50/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 4.07%. For shareholders of record Mar. 29. Payable Apr. 12. Ex-div date Mar. 27. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Monday, February 25, 11:09 AM Consumers are clipping coupons at a higher rate than anytime since the 2007 recession, according to tracking from Coupons.com. The biggest amount of activity has been seen in the food categories (CPB, KRFT, CAG, PEP) of soup, cheese, rice, and pasta - although personal care and beauty items (PG, AVP, EL, UL, CL) are also in focus. 8 Comments [Consumer]
