Kraft Heinz Has the Right Recipe for Growth

Large-cap food stocks are not known for their growth, but the top line performance for some of the biggest food companies has been disappointing. Consumers increasingly demand natural foods, and retailers are cutting prices to remain competitive, which in turn puts pressure on food brands to reduce their prices to accommodate the biggest grocers like Wal-Mart.

The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ: KHC) has been no exception. In the second quarter, Kraft Heinz continued its struggle to grow revenue with sales declining 1.7%. Excluding the negative impact of currency fluctuation, sales still declined 0.9%. On the bright side, that decline narrowed from the first quarter to the second, from both a better sales mix and the benefits of recent holidays that boosted in-store activity.
