As a result, Evercore ISI has reduced its projection for third-quarter consolidated organic sales to 3.5%, which is less than the 4.5% consensus expectation. In addition, the firm lowered its expectation for organic sales growth in 2025 from 5% to 4.4%. Analysts cautioned that short-term sales risk might push Mondelez International, Inc. stock down 5–10%, putting it at the lower end of its 10-year price-to-earnings range of 18x.
Even with these immediate worries, Evercore ISI still considers Mondelez International, Inc. to be “a solid long-term growth story at a reasonable price.”
