Author believes Mondelez's cocoa-price squeeze is temporary and the stock is a strong buy below $55.
MDLZ — LONG Author bought MDLZ at $52, arguing the market is treating cocoa-price inflation as structural when it is likely temporary, with cocoa prices expected to stabilize or decline in 2026 and ease margin pressure. The company showed brand strength by raising prices without volume collapse, and financials include steady revenue growth, FCF above $3B, ~3.5% dividend, and a new $9B buyback near 5-year lows. The main stated risk is structurally higher cocoa prices or a permanent consumer trade-down to private labels.
For me, any value below 55$ is a strong buy.
