What believers are saying

  • Demand is holding: in July 2026, Mondelez raised its sales outlook as Oreo and Cadbury sales stayed firm.
  • Cash backs stability: in July 2026, Mondelez forecast $3 billion of free cash flow and lifted its dividend 4%.
  • Graduates rotate widely: Mondelez's Taste The Future program, starting September 2026 in Germany and Austria, spans plants, logistics and engineering.

What critics are saying

  • Price hikes cost shoppers: in February 2026, Mondelez reported 2025 volume and mix down 3.7% after 8% price rises.
  • Expect cost cuts: as of July 2026, Mondelez was still running a restructuring program begun in late 2025.

What Mondelez International (MDLZ) said on its Q3 earnings call.

What Mondelez International (MDLZ) said on its Q3 earnings call. Mondelez International (NASDAQ:MDLZ) executives said the company remains on track with its 2026 outlook and expects strong earnings-per-share growth in 2027, supported by volume-led growth, productivity initiatives and continued investment in brands, innovation and emerging-market distribution. During the company's third-quarter 2026 earnings Q&A session, Chairman and CEO Dirk Van de Put described consumer conditions as resilient across many emerging markets, stable but cautious in Europe, and soft in North America. The company said it continues to see opportunities to expand distribution, particularly in India, Brazil and China, while managing inflationary pressures and selectively using pricing and package-price architecture initiatives. Emerging markets remain a growth engine. Van de Put said consumer confidence in emerging markets has remained resilient, with India performing particularly well and Mexico and Brazil described as solid. China has been softer, he said, but Mondelez remains constructive on the market because of its volume growth, top-line performance and distribution opportunity. The company added approximately 130,000 outlets in India year to date, Van de Put said. In Brazil, Mondelez is now present in more than 1 million stores. China also continues to offer a "very long runway" for distribution expansion, according to the CEO. Chief Operating Officer Luca Zaramella said the company estimates it still has roughly 25% additional numeric distribution opportunity in markets including China, India and Brazil. He also cited opportunities to increase the number of products carried by stores and upgrade the company's in-store presence, including through coolers in India. "The runway that we have in places like China, India, Brazil, it is most likely we still have 25% numeric distribution to go," Zaramella said. In Latin America, Zaramella said Argentina has been the primary drag on volume because Mondelez is managing that market for cash and has been pricing "very diligently." Excluding Argentina, he said volume mix in the region's non-chocolate businesses was about 4% to 5% in the latest quarter. He also pointed to strong gum and candy performance, led by Trident, while saying chocolate in Brazil is beginning to improve following prior pricing and package-size actions. Europe sees volume growth despite cautious consumer. In Europe, Van de Put said consumer confidence was generally stable and possibly modestly better than in the prior quarter, though shoppers remain cautious amid energy costs and broader cost-of-living pressures. He said Mondelez posted broad-based volume-mix growth of 1.6 percentage points in the region, despite unseasonably hot weather that reduced its European growth by about 1%. The company has continued advertising and consumer-support investment, while highlighting innovation including Biscoff and the Milka Croissant. Van de Put said Mondelez expects positive volume growth in Europe to continue through the remainder of the year. Zaramella said pricing in Europe has been affected by selective price adjustments made earlier in 2026, particularly in chocolate, as the company began to lap higher pricing from the second half of the prior year. He said the company's emphasis has been on gross-profit-dollar growth, consumer affordability, penetration and brand loyalty rather than simply maintaining price growth. When asked whether negative European price growth could continue, Zaramella said it should be expected for the next couple of quarters, noting that pricing increased through the quarters of the prior year. North America focuses on promotions, innovation and share. Van de Put said North American consumer confidence remains soft, with growth concentrated among higher-income households in what he described as a continuing "K-shaped economy." Still, he said Mondelez feels positive about its third-quarter and year-to-date results in the region and expects continued solid growth. Zaramella attributed the company's North American performance to improving market-share trends, more precise promotional activity, higher advertising and consumer-support spending, and innovation. He cited strength in savory biscuits, candy and brands including Sour Patch Kids, as well as launches such as Oreo Zero, Ritz Minis and Clif High Protein. Rather than broadly reducing prices, Zaramella said Mondelez has refined its promotional approach to improve incrementality. Looking ahead, the company plans to be selective with any pricing actions and expects most to be implemented through package-price architecture. It also expects productivity and supply-chain efforts to support profitability. 2027 outlook and cost considerations. Chief Financial Officer Amit Banati said Mondelez maintained its 2026 top-line and EPS outlook. The company plans to reinvest upside into areas it views as effective, including advertising, innovation, Biscoff and emerging markets, while continuing to absorb costs associated with the Middle East war within its existing outlook. For 2027, Banati said the company remains confident it can deliver strong EPS growth despite macroeconomic volatility and inflation in freight, dairy, oil and packaging. He said the expected growth would be supported by emerging-market strength, improving stability in Europe, continued U.S. momentum and productivity savings. Third-quarter gross-profit performance benefited from strong volume growth, supply-chain and procurement productivity, and the timing of lower cacao costs, Banati said. He added that the company expects strong gross-profit and operating-income-dollar growth to continue in the fourth quarter. On cacao, Banati said market fundamentals are materially stronger than during the 2024 spike. Mondelez expects the 2025-2026 cycle to end with an estimated surplus of nearly 500,000 tons. While the company cited projections for a roughly 190,000-ton deficit in 2026-2027 tied to crop conditions in Ivory Coast and Ghana and expectations for El Niño, Banati said existing surplus supply and industry coverage levels of about nine months provide support. Undercover Snacks deal supports better-for-you strategy. Mondelez also discussed its agreement to acquire a majority stake in Undercover Snacks, a small but rapidly growing maker of crispy quinoa snacks that are generally chocolate-covered or frosted. Van de Put described the products as gluten-free, allergy-friendly and positioned around better-for-you ingredients and permissible indulgence. The business will operate as a standalone unit within Mondelez's North American ventures organization, alongside brands including Perfect Snacks, Tate's and Hu vegan chocolate. Undercover CEO Diana Levy will remain in her role, Van de Put said. Mondelez expects the deal to close by early 2027, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approval. Van de Put said the acquisition is not expected to have a significant financial impact in 2027 but aligns with the company's effort to evolve its portfolio toward healthier snacking options. More broadly, Van de Put said Mondelez continues to favor targeted bolt-on acquisitions, generally in geographies or category segments where it sees portfolio gaps, rather than pursuing substantially larger transactions.

Mondelez International upbeat on India despite cost pressures. Aanya Thakur , ET Bureau Last Updated: Oct 31, 2026, 12:10:00 AM IST The maker of Cadbury chocolates and Oreo biscuits added about 130,000 outlets in India during the third quarter ended September, as it pushes deeper into the country's fragmented retail market. It sees considerable headroom for further distribution expansion, alongside opportunities to increase the number of products stocked by existing retailers. MUMBAI: Mondelez International has said it will continue to expand distribution and retail presence in India as the country remains a key growth engine with more than 20% year-on-year revenue growth in the September quarter despite inflationary pressures and global slowdown. "Of course, there is inflation driven by the conflict in the Middle East, and that is a concern with consumers, for instance in India. But overall, we feel good about the consumer in emerging markets at this stage," chief executive Dirk Van de Put told investors on Thursday. The maker of Cadbury chocolates and Oreo biscuits added about 130,000 outlets in India during the third quarter ended September, as it pushes deeper into the country's fragmented retail market. It sees considerable headroom for further distribution expansion, alongside opportunities to increase the number of products stocked by existing retailers. Mondelez said its India business has outperformed broader market conditions, driven by its efforts to improve product availability. "The reason why those numbers are being delivered is because we pursue incremental distribution opportunities quite rigorously," chief operating officer Luca Zaramella said. He said the opportunity in India extended beyond adding new outlets to upgrading existing stores and increasing the number of products they stock. "Between the incremental points-of-sales, the upgrade that we have on the current universe, the fact that we can increase the number of items that are carried by those stores...I think the opportunity is quite sizeable," he said. This comes amid growing cost pressures from higher freight, fuel and commodity prices amid the West Asia conflict. Mondelez said it was absorbing the additional costs within its existing financial outlook. It also flagged rising costs in dairy, oil and packaging. Read More News on

Chilli crab Ritz? How AI is shaking up Mondelez's Singapore snack lab.

Chilli crab Ritz? How AI is shaking up Mondelez's Singapore snack lab. Researchers are exploring new ways to keep products relevant to changing consumer tastes Published Sat, Oct 31, 2026 · 07:00 AM * A kaya butter-flavoured Ritz variant hit Indonesian stores in May this year. PHOTO: SUHAANA KHANNA, RUDI OSMAN, BT [SINGAPORE] Singaporeans are used to seeing Ritz crackers in the iconic red boxes on supermarket shelves, with their familiar cheesy, lightly salted flavour. But chilli crab, satay and laksa could offer a distinctly local twist on the classic snack in future. These flavours are being prototyped at US confectionery maker Mondelez International's technical centre in Singapore, where researchers are exploring new ways to keep the company's products relevant to changing consumer tastes. Two decades after its establishment, the centre is incorporating artificial intelligence into its R&D process to identify emerging food trends and develop new flavour combinations. While some of these innovations may stay experiments forever, others have already made it to market in the region. A kaya butter-flavoured Ritz variant, for instance, hit Indonesian stores in May. For the Nasdaq-listed manufacturer behind global staples such as Oreo and Cadbury, developing and commercialising new products is a core function of its Singapore Technical Centre in Jurong. The centre is one of Mondelez's seven global multi-category technical hubs. Established in 2006 and expanded in 2018, it focuses on innovation in gum, candy, biscuits and other baked products, serving markets across the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa (Amea). (*See amendment note) The Business Times turns 50. Five decades of milestones and moments that shaped Singapore's success story - told through our headlines. Explore BT50" During The Business Times' media tour of the centre, Marco Michielsen, regional R&D vice-president for Amea, said: "Singapore as a country ranks very high on the global innovation index, and that's the main reason why we're actually located here as an R&D centre." The firm has 61 people working at the local R&D site. Product innovation plays a role in the company's efforts to grow sales. Mondelez reported a net revenue of US$10 billion in the third quarter of 2026, supported by 2.1 per cent organic net revenue growth despite macroeconomic headwinds, driven by broad-based volume growth. Its Amea segment recorded net revenue growth of 8.2 per cent in the quarter. AI-to-oven pipeline. In the past, developing new flavours relied heavily on manual market research and repeated baking trials. Mondelez is now using digital tools to help identify promising ideas and streamline the development process. For instance, the company has an in-house research platform that monitors shifts in consumer behaviour and identifies emerging local flavours. It also uses AI to analyse product sentiment and "make smarter flavour choices". In August, the Singapore centre also introduced an AI-powered Oreo-specific tool that enabled engineers to design and test virtual two-dimensional prototypes of the Oreo biscuit, before producing physical samples. The Oreo tool was first introduced to North America in the fourth quarter of 2025. Since the introduction to its Singapore centre, it has helped reduce the number of design iterations by about 20 per cent, Mondelez added. However, Michielsen emphasised that AI serves as a support tool rather than the final decision-maker. "What AI can do is provide predictions and patterns, but our scientists and sensory experts understand relationships between our products more than AI can at this moment," he said. Human expertise therefore remains central to the process, with digital tools helping researchers identify possibilities that they can then test and refine. This collaboration is evident in Mondelez's in-house innovation kitchen, where Harry Gui, R&D bakery chef for biscuits and baked snacks, uses trend data to develop complex flavour combinations. "Then we translate (his flavours) into the lab, and eventually into manufacturing," Michielsen explained. Consumer shifts and commodity volatility. Beyond developing new flavours, Mondelez is adapting its Amea portfolio to address evolving health preferences and a fragmenting retail landscape. The company aims to reformulate its snacks to reduce sodium, sugar and saturated fats, while incorporating whole grains and seeds such as quinoa and chia into its products. At the same time, regional sales channels are shifting away from traditional supermarkets towards digital commerce and specialised chains, Michielsen told BT. These changes come as the company grapples with supply chain disruptions and volatile commodity prices. Mondelez's gross profit for FY2025 fell 23.3 per cent year on year, largely due to an unprecedented increase in cocoa costs. The company's R&D team must therefore do more than respond to changing consumer tastes. It also has to find ways to adapt products and production processes as ingredient costs and availability fluctuate. Michielsen noted: "One of the tasks that we need to do is to provide solutions for these supply chain disturbances, and we do that by assessing on a continuous basis our ingredients, processes, technologies and formulations. "Our large-scale processes need to adapt - and they need to be adapted to (these) realities."

Mondelēz profits rise as sales growth recovers despite weak european trading.

Mondelēz profits rise as sales growth recovers despite weak european trading. 30th October 2026 Mondelēz International has reported an improvement in third-quarter profitability, supported by recovering sales volumes and easing cocoa costs, although revenue growth remained subdued in Europe. The Cadbury, Oreo and Milka owner reported net revenue of $9.97bn for the three months ended 30th September, an increase of 2.3% compared with the previous year. Organic revenue increased by 2.1%, driven primarily by a 1.8 percentage point contribution from volume and product mix, while pricing contributed 0.3 percentage points. The performance marked the company's strongest volume and mix growth since the third quarter of 2023, reflecting an improvement in consumer demand following several periods of price increases. In Europe, Mondelēz reported a 3.3% decline in revenue to $3.55bn, compared with $3.67bn a year earlier. Organic revenue declined by 2%, reflecting the impact of pricing and changes in product mix, although the company reported a return to volume growth in the region. North American revenue increased by 1.1% to $2.85bn, supported by improved volumes and market share gains. The strongest growth came from emerging markets. Revenue in Latin America increased by 12% to $1.39bn, while Asia, the Middle East and Africa recorded an 8.2% increase to $2.18bn. Mondelēz has been working to rebuild sales volumes following sharp increases in chocolate prices over the past two years, driven by historically high cocoa costs. Easing cocoa prices have provided greater scope for promotional activity and value packs as the company seeks to attract price-conscious shoppers. However, chief executive Dirk Van de Put warned that consumer confidence remained under pressure in North America, particularly because of higher energy prices. "We delivered strong third-quarter results, driven by broad-based volume growth and robust share performance. We continue to see top- and bottom-line growth momentum across both developed and emerging markets, while significantly reinvesting in our brands, innovation, and distribution," he said. Rachel Wolff, an analyst at eMarketer, warned that continued reliance on price increases could become less effective as household budgets remain under pressure. She also suggested that consumers facing higher fuel costs could reduce spending on discretionary products such as biscuits and confectionery. The company also announced an agreement to acquire Undercover Snacks, a US manufacturer of chocolate-coated quinoa crisps, as it expands into products positioned as healthier indulgent snacks. Wolff said the acquisition could help Mondelēz attract consumers prepared to pay more for snacks offering perceived health benefits. Mondelēz maintained its financial outlook for 2026, supported by improving sales volumes, emerging market growth and measures to reduce costs.
