Mondelez International (MDLZ) has been sliding quietly, with the stock down about 5% over the past month and roughly 9% this year, even as revenue and earnings continue to grow.
See our latest analysis for Mondelez International.
Zooming out, the stock’s recent 30 day share price return of around negative 5 percent and its roughly negative 9 percent year to date share price return suggest momentum has clearly cooled. This helps explain why the 1 year total shareholder return is now also negative despite solid fundamental growth.
If Mondelez’s softer momentum has you rethinking your watchlist, this could be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership for ideas with stronger market conviction behind them.
With Mondelez trading below analyst targets despite steady revenue and profit growth, investors now face a key question: is this a mispriced consumer staple with room to run, or is the market already discounting its future gains?
With Mondelez last closing at $54.04 against a most popular narrative fair value of about $68.85, the valuation case leans clearly to the upside while hinging on measured growth and margin gains rather than explosive expansion.
The analysts have a consensus price target of $74.417 for Mondelez International based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $88.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $67.0.
