RBC Initiates Kraft Heinz Coverage with Outperform, $32 Target

RBC Capital Markets initiated coverage of Kraft Heinz with an Outperform rating and a $32 price target, implying 29% upside. Analyst Nik Modi believes the company's reinvestment of $700 million in price, innovation, and marketing will drive a 0.9% organic growth in 2027, surpassing Street consensus of 0.4%. Despite Kraft Heinz's stock declining nearly 4% over the past year, RBC sees a favorable 'seesaw' tilt in 2027, with innovations like PowerMac and Capri Sun Hydrate addressing real consumer needs. The call contrasts with the majority of Wall Street analysts, as 15 of 20 covering analysts rate the stock a Hold.
