Upturn Advisory & Investor View for MDLZ

11/13/2026: MDLZ (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

Mondelez International is a major global player in the snack industry, known for iconic brands like Oreo, Cadbury, and Ritz. The company maintains a leading position by focusing on high-margin 'Power Brands' and expanding its presence in emerging markets. Its primary growth story revolves around strategic acquisitions in the wellness space and operational efficiencies that sustain solid profit margins. However, investors should monitor risks related to commodity cost volatility, the health-conscious consumer shift, and potential regulatory changes. The stock may best suit dividend and value investors looking for defensive, long-term exposure to the resilient global snacking sector.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
MDLZ receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
MDLZ has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid cash generation (FCF margin 8.4%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-46.8%), moderate revenue growth (+5.8%), soft profitability (net margin 6.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
MDLZ's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $3.2B (8.4% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is MDLZ's strongest growth driver at +5.8% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-46.8%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-8.2%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 90.1% and approximately 99.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.24%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.37%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 6.62%
Capital Research Global Investors 5.50%
JPMorgan Chase & Co 4.80%
State Street Corp 4.71%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
MDLZ generates approximately $284 of gross profit, $92 of operating income, and $84 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Soft margins and solid cash conversion support a 3-star rating, while capital efficiency is soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 25.95%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
MDLZ has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
