Alternative ways to invest in Kraft Heinz

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Kraft Heinz), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Kraft Heinz is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Kraft Heinz under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Kraft Heinz P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Kraft Heinz's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Kraft Heinz's shares trade at around 23x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

However, Kraft Heinz's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.

Kraft Heinz's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9253. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Kraft Heinz's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However, it's sensible to consider Kraft Heinz's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

Kraft Heinz's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $0 billion (£0 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of Kraft Heinz's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
