Kraft Heinz eyes breakup, WSJ reports
Kraft Heinz (KHC) is looking to spin off a significant part of its grocery business, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Market Domination Anchor Josh Lipton and Freedom Capital Markets chief global strategist Jay Woods discuss the news. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here. Our one key headline to get to Kraft Heinz is reportedly preparing to break itself up. This is according to the Wall Street Journal. Kraft Heinz may split its grocery business, including Kraft products, into a new entity valued up to $20 billion. The remaining company would focus on faster growing sauces and condiments like Heinz ketchup. A split could be finalized in the coming weeks, according to the report. Jay, what do you make of it? Yeah, um, we're going to be anticipating this one all weekend. We had the Kellogg's deal, when Kellogg split up into a serial business to, uh, just, uh, what was it, serial and then the candy bar business and the WLK brand got bought out this week. So it was shareholder value and right now, Kraft Heinz is 43% off its all-time high. They need to shake things up. The staples have been under pressure. So, uh, even if this doesn't come to fruition, this is something that they need to start thinking about, not just at Kraft Heinz, but at some of these other bigger brands. Anything to enhance shareholder value will be critical going forward. Yeah, the journal does remind us too, Jay, that Kraft Heinz said in May it was continuing to evaluate strategic transactions to unlock value and that it had said Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway would no longer hold board seats at the company and someone said, okay, maybe that was paving the way for some significant changes. So we shall watch and we shall see. Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Why WK Kellogg Shares Skyrocketed This Week
Kellogg shares rocketed higher after the company announced it was being acquired for $23. Italian snacking behemoth Ferrero hopes to take the company private, just months after rumors circulated about a potential buyout. The deal serves as a reminder not to forget about the "boring" stories available on the market. 10 stocks we like better than WK Kellogg › Shares of cereal maker WK Kellogg (NYSE: KLG) rose 34% this week as of noon E.T. Thursday, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. One week after being added to a slew of Russell Value indexes, it turns out WK Kellogg was indeed a good value investment -- at least in the eyes of Ferrero. On Wednesday, the Italian chocolate and candy juggernaut announced plans to buy Kellogg for $23 per share, prompting this week's spike in price. The acquisition announcement comes just months after rumors circulated about the two merging earlier in February. Snacking behemoth Ferrero is home to brands such as Ferrero Rocher, Tic Tac, Kinder, and Nutella. While adding Kellogg's cereal brands, such as Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, and Special K, may seem a bit off-course, the acquisition expands Ferrero's footprint in the United States. Investing-wise, current Kellogg shareholders are unlikely to benefit any further, as the company's share price is already within 1% of the $23 acquisition price. Barring the limited potential for a bidding war, or the deal falling through (which would probably harm shareholders), investors can probably redeploy this capital elsewhere. This acquisition serves as a reminder not to overlook the multitude of "boring" consumer staples available today at sub-market valuations. Whether it's Kraft Heinz, Hershey, Tyson Foods, Lamb Weston, or fellow cereal makers General Mills and Post, food stocks were the original recurring-revenue businesses, offering stability to any portfolio at the right price. In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing stocks steal most of the investing hype, it's essential to keep an eye on value opportunities like these blue chip food stocks -- just like Ferrero did.
