Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZ) is one of the best confectionary, cookie, and snack stocks to buy. On February 4, TD Cowen lifted the price target on Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZ) to $65 from $62 while maintaining a Buy rating on the shares. The rating update came after Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZ) released its fiscal Q4 2025 financial results on February 3, announcing a full-year net revenue growth of 5.8%, supported by organic net revenue growth of 4.3%, favorable currency-related items, and incremental net revenue from its acquisition of Evirth. These trends were offset by lapping prior-year net revenue from a short-term distributor agreement related to the sale of the company’s developed market gum business.

Management further reported that diluted EPS for the full year was $1.89, down 44.7 percent. This drop was attributed to several factors, including a decrease in adjusted EPS,  an unfavorable year-over-year change in mark-to-market impacts from commodity and foreign currency derivatives,  an unfavorable year-over-year change in acquisition-related items, settlement losses related to pension plan buy-outs, higher costs incurred for the ERP System Implementation program, and lapping prior-year divestiture-related items.
