Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
The Kraft Heinz Company manages a portfolio of food brands that includes Heinz, Oscar Mayer, Kraft Mac & Cheese, Capri Sun, Ore-Ida, Lunchables, and Philadelphia. The company generates sales through U.S. retail, emerging markets, and the away-from-home channel, while focusing its investments on marketing, innovation, distribution, and price-pack architecture; sauces, beverages, meals, and cold cuts were among the key performance areas highlighted in the Q2 FY2026 call.
Q2 FY2026 revenue was approximately $6.3 billion, and gross profit was $2.0 billion, equivalent to a gross margin of about 31.7%. The company recorded a net loss of $5.5 billion and a loss per share of $4.60, after results included $7.4 billion in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges; accordingly, the net loss for the twelve months ended in 2026 was approximately $3.4 billion on revenue of $24.9 billion.
The performance mix was uneven in Q2 FY2026: consumption declined by approximately 2.5%, U.S. retail remained the primary area for improvement, while Heinz sales in emerging markets increased 12% and the away-from-home channel returned to growth. Through the end of the quarter in FY2026, Heinz grew 3% globally and sauces in the United States grew 3%, while signs of improvement appeared in Capri Sun, Kraft Mac & Cheese, and some Ore-Ida innovations.
The average analyst price target is $22.75, compared with a wide target range of $18 to $26 and a Neutral consensus, reflecting clear disagreement about the pace of recovery. The average target lies in the lower half of the 52-week range of $21.035 to $28.09 and is approximately 19% below its high, while no meaningful P/E multiple is available because of the net loss and large impairment charges in FY2026.

Kraft Heinz recorded $7.4 billion in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges in Q2 FY2026. The net loss reached $5.5 billion, or $4.60 per share, despite revenue of approximately $6.3 billion and gross profit of $2.0 billion. The charges reflect an accounting revaluation of the brands and long-term assets, making them a central factor in explaining the gap between sales and the net loss.
Consumption declined by approximately 2.5% in Q2 FY2026, then improved in July 2026 to a decline of about 1%. Market share loss also narrowed from 30 basis points in the first half to approximately 20 basis points in the latest weeks discussed by management on August 7, 2026. Better indicators appeared in Heinz, Capri Sun, and Kraft Mac & Cheese, but management emphasized that the consumption decline still requires further work.
PowerMac reached 35,000 stores, and management stated that its consumption ranks within the top quartile of innovation performance and that it is adding new sales for the company and the category. Products showing positive early indicators included Capri Sun Hydrate, Ore-Ida Shapes, and Lunchables Snackables, along with new packaging for Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh. Heinz also grew 3% globally year to date in FY2026 and increased 12% in emerging markets during Q2 FY2026.

The initial incremental investment program amounted to $600 million, and the company had spent only approximately one-third of it during the first half of FY2026. Management added $100 million on August 7, 2026 and said most of it would go toward marketing during the second half. The investments focus on brands such as Heinz, Capri Sun, Ore-Ida, Kraft Mac & Cheese, and Philadelphia, in addition to innovation, distribution, and price-pack architecture.
Kraft Heinz maintained a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share in Q2 FY2026 and completed $1.51 billion in share repurchases. Management said on August 7, 2026 that it kept its dollar-denominated free cash flow outlook close to its commitment at the beginning of the year and raised its cash conversion outlook. It also repaid $1.9 billion of debt during the quarter and an additional $1 billion after its close, but the $5.5 billion net loss makes monitoring cash flow and the balance sheet essential.
Analyst consensus on KHC is Neutral, and the average price target is $22.75. Targets range between $18 and $26, an $8 difference that reflects significant disagreement in assessing the strength of the recovery. The average is approximately 19% below the 52-week range high of $28.09, and the P/E multiple does not provide a useful anchor because twelve-month net income and earnings per share in 2026 were negative.
