Mondelez Set to Release Q1 Earnings: Key Insights for Investors
Read MoreHide Full Article
Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ - Free Report) is likely to register top-line growth when it reports first-quarter 2025 earnings on April 29. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $9.3 billion, indicating growth of 0.4% from the prior-year quarter.
However, the company’s bottom line is expected to decline year over year. The consensus mark for first-quarter earnings has decreased a penny in the past 30 days to 66 cents per share, indicating a decline of 30.5% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter. MDLZ delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 8.3%, on average. (Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
Mondelez International, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Continuous reinvestments in its brands and capabilities, along with impressive portfolio reshaping efforts, have been working well for Mondelez. By focusing on core categories such as chocolate, biscuits and baked snacks, enhancing brand appeal, prioritizing operational efficiency and cost management, the company has been laying the groundwork for sustained performance. These efforts are likely to have supported the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Our model expects 0.7% revenue growth in the biscuit categories for the first quarter.
As Mondelez continues to invest in innovation, marketing and distribution, the durability of the core categories positions it well for sustained growth, giving out positive signals for the first quarter. In addition, the company has been gaining from a favorable pricing environment. Our model expects organic revenue growth of 3.1% for the first quarter on a 3.2% increase in pricing.
While the aforementioned factors have raised optimism, ongoing headwinds from elevated input costs, particularly cocoa, remain a concern. The persistence of such cost pressures is likely to have weighed on profitability in the first quarter.
