Mondelez Q2 Beats Across the Board, Raises Dividend 4%
MDLZ sits 25% above its 52-week low of $51.201.
Summary
Mondelez delivered a clean Q2 beat: revenue of $9.36B topped the $9.20B consensus, and adjusted EPS of $0.73 beat the $0.68 estimate. Organic growth was driven by higher pricing and favorable volume/mix, though raw material costs and ERP expenses weighed on margins. The board also approved a 4% dividend increase, signaling confidence. This follows the earlier guidance headline today that set a floor of at least 2% organic revenue growth for 2026; the full release adds free cash flow guidance of about $3B and maintains adjusted EPS growth of flat to 5% on constant currency. The stock closed at $60.67 yesterday, and the beat plus dividend hike should support the positive reaction. The bottom line climbed in Q2.
