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%.

The call contrasts with the majority of Wall Street analysts, as 15 of 20 covering analysts rate the stock a Hold.
