Kraft Heinz Co
boothcheck covers Kraft Heinz Co (KHC) but does not put one priced-in number on it: here the defensible answer is the evidence rather than a point estimate. boothcheck publishes no house fair value, target price, or buy/sell rating. Narrative composed August 7, 2026.
• Measured across the cycle rather than on a year gutted by write-downs, Kraft Heinz converts roughly 12.8% of every sales dollar into operating profit, a wider margin than any peer in its cohort is currently earning. • The twelve months to late March 2026 carried an operating loss of 4.72 billion dollars, almost all of it non-cash brand and goodwill write-downs, and the latest quarterly filing flags five reporting units whose estimated value sat less than 5% above what the books carry them at.

1,057 institutional managers reported holding KHC in 13F filings for the quarter ended 2026-03-31. Together they hold about 83% of the company; the top 10 hold 57%. 118 opened new positions that quarter. Held by Berkshire Hathaway, Vanguard Group, BlackRock, among others.

Quarterly 13F filings arrive up to 45 days after quarter end, so the picture is never current (filed through 2026-05-29). Nothing here is investment advice.
KHC has cut its share count 3.2% over the past five years, spending $1.90B on repurchases. It pays a dividend, and has paid one every year in our records (11 and counting); the current rate is $1.60 a share annually. Cash returned over the past three years: $5.29B in dividends and $1.86B in repurchases.
Share counts are split-adjusted; repurchase totals are gross of share issuance. Nothing here is investment advice.
