Mondelez International

Mondelez has operated as an independent organization since its split from the former Kraft Foods North American grocery business in October 2012. The firm is a leading player in the global snack enclave with a presence in the biscuit (49% of sales), chocolate (30%), gum/candy (12%), beverage (3%), and cheese and grocery (6%) aisles, as of the end of fiscal 2023. Mondelez's portfolio includes well-known brands like Oreo, Chips Ahoy, Halls, and Cadbury, among others. The firm derives around one third of revenue from developing markets, just more than one third from Europe, and the remainder from North America.

Mondelez International Inc

Wall Street experienced a mixed trading session on Wednesday as investors weigh a batch of corporate earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41623984/us-economy-grows-less-than-expected-in-q3-yet-private-employment-soars-by-233-000">and fresh economic data.</a>
The U.S. economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.8% in the third quarter, according to advance estimates. This marks a slight deceleration from the previous quarter's 3% pace and falls short of analyst expectations of 3%.
On the employment front, the ADP National Employment report showed private payrolls surged by 233,000 in October —well above the 115,000 forecast and a significant increase from the revised 159,000 in September. This stronger-than-expected job growth underscores the resilience of the labor market ahead of Friday&#8217;s official jobs report.
In corporate news, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) dropped 10% after posting quarterly results that met expectations but failed to excite investors. The decline in AMD shares dragged down the broader semiconductor sector, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) sliding over 3%.
In contrast, Alphabet Inc. jumped more than 5% following a robust earnings report that beat Wall Street expectations, boosting optimism around mega-cap tech stocks.
At midday, major U.S. indexes were trading mixed. The S&amp;P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 remained flat, while the small-cap Russell 2000 outperformed with a 0.5% gain.
Gold prices extended all-time highs, up 0.5% to $2,787 per ounce. Oil prices surged 2%, fueled by supply concerns.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) eased 0.8% to $72,100, pulling back from recent highs.

Wall Street took a breather on Tuesday, with most major indices treading water, while tech stocks saw gains as investors braced for earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41579487/amd-q3-earnings-preview-can-ai-server-gains-help-narrow-the-semiconductor-gap-with-">reports from mega-cap companies.</a>
The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.7%, buoyed by anticipation around upcoming earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), both set to report after market close.
Elsewhere, the S&amp;P 500 was largely unchanged, the Dow Jones dipped slightly, and small-cap stocks underperformed.
In economic news, U.S. job openings dropped by 418,000 to 7.443 million in September 2024 — marking the lowest level since January 2021 and falling short of the market's expectation of 7.99 million.
The Conference Board&#8217;s Consumer Confidence Index surged, posting its largest monthly gain since March 2021. This suggests that while labor demand may be slowing, consumer sentiment remains robust.
Treasury yields continued to climb during concerns over the U.S. budget deficit and political uncertainty ahead of next week's elections. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit 4.33%, the highest level since early July.
Notably, gold prices remained resilient, with the precious metal breaking above the all-time high of $2,770 per ounce as investors sought a hard asset amid fiscal concerns.
The crypto market also saw notable gains. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose nearly 4% to reach $72,700, nearing its record high of $73,697 set in March. Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) continued its momentum with a 10% rally on Tuesday, following an 11% surge on Monday.

How Is The Market Feeling About Mondelez International?

During this quarter's earnings cycle, many companies have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">warned of cautious consumers due to high and persistent inflation. </a>And it's not just big-ticket items such as cars and furniture on which consumers are cutting back.
J M Smucker Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SJM#NYSE">SJM</a>), the parent company of Smucker's jelly and jams, warned that people are cutting back spending at convenience stores. Smucker's, which also owns the Jif peanut butter and Uncrustable brands, reported stronger-than-expected EPS in the company's first quarter, but the company's lower guidance and cautious commentary led to a sell-off in shares after the report.
Shares closed Wednesday's session down nearly 5%; on Thursday, shares were down 1.30% at $113.32 at publication.

The company did highlight significant, double-digit growth in its Uncrustable brand, a packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwich found in the frozen section of grocery stores. But, in other areas such as coffee, executives at Smucker's highlighted higher input costs caused the company to raise prices, thus weakening sales.
If consumers continue to cut back on spending at convenience stores and on brand-name products, it could be a headwind for other food companies such as Mondelez International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>), Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) and General Mills (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>). Thursday morning, Dollar General Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40623595/dollar-general-q2-earnings-earnings-miss-slashed-outlook-and-shrinking-margins">reported earnings</a> that came in below Wall Street estimates and warned of a &#8220;cash-strapped&#8221; customer, echoing the sentiment from Smucker's.
