Analysis

The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC) currently trades at $24.96, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $23.54, implying the stock looks roughly 5.7% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 55/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, The Kraft Heinz Company generated revenue of $25.0B at a net margin of -23.1%. Revenue grew 0.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -12.6%. Net debt stands at $18.6B. Fundamentals as of Aug 6, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $14.05 (bear case) to $34.36 (bull case); at $24.96, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 10% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at -6%, KHC screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
