Kraft Heinz reports Q1 adjusted EPS 58c, consensus 50c

Reports Q1 revenue $6.05B, consensus $5.88B. “Our first quarter results demonstrate steady progress, and I am encouraged by the early signs of momentum we’re building,” said Steve Cahillane, CEO of Kraft Heinz (KHC). “The investments we made in 2025 are now driving early traction, with improving market share trends, particularly within must-win parts of our portfolio like Taste Elevation. This is proof that our brands respond well when we invest behind them. Our goal is to ultimately deliver profitable growth through volume and market share recovery, while continuing to deliver strong Free Cash Flow. In 2026, we are focused on turning around our U.S. business and accelerating growth in our international markets. Our strategy is supported by incrementally investing the previously announced $600 million in the business, leveraging the Heinz brand, and continuing to capture white-space opportunities across Emerging Markets. While we are encouraged by the strong start to the year, we are reiterating our 2026 outlook. This reflects an operating environment that remains volatile, with increasing inflationary pressures and persistently low consumer sentiment. At the same time, we are retaining the flexibility to increase investments in areas that are delivering strong returns.”
