KRAFT HEINZ CO. $78 – Nasdaq symbol KHC

KRAFT HEINZ CO. $78 (Nasdaq symbol KHC; Conservative Growth and Income Portfolios, Consumer sector; Shares outstanding: 1.2 billion; Market cap: $93.6 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: n.a.; Dividend yield: 2.8%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.kraftheinzcompany.com) took its current form on July 2, 2015, through the merger of Kraft Foods Group (old Nasdaq symbol KRFT) and H.J. Heinz.

The new firm is North America’s third-largest food and beverage company and the world’s fifth biggest. It will have $29.1 billion of annual revenue, including eight brands with over $1 billion in yearly sales.

The stock trades at a high 27.5 times the $2.84 a share the new firm should earn in 2015. However, that multiple should improve in the next few years as the company starts to see savings from merging plants and combining distribution networks. The $2.20 dividend yields 2.8%.

Kraft Heinz is a hold.
