“The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC) is the third largest U.S. food and beverage company. KHC shares declined following mixed earnings results in the quarter. While organic sales growth over the medium term is likely to be just 1-2%, we believe the company can also make bolt-on acquisitions and share repurchases to further ensure positive earnings per share (EPS) growth. Modest EPS growth combined with a dividend yield above 4% should result in a competitive total return.”
