Read MoreHide Full Article

Kellogg Company (K - Free Report) has a balanced portfolio of cereal and snack products. Popular brands include Kellogg’s, Keebler, Pop-Tarts, Eggo, Cheez-It, Ready Crust and Kashi.

Kellogg has been struggling to drive sales since 2014 primarily due to weak performance by its cereal products in developed markets as well as soft U.S. snacks businesses owing to lower demand.

Investors should note that earnings estimates for K have moved down by 1 cent to $4.45 per share for 2018 over the past 30 days. However, K has a superb earnings history, with the company delivering positive earnings surprises in three of the past four quarters, thereby bringing the average to a positive earnings surprise of 5.82%.

Currently, K has a Zacks Rank #3 (Buy), but that could definitely change following Kellogg’s earnings report which was just released. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
