Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC), the global food and beverage company behind iconic brands like Kraft, Heinz, and Oscar Mayer, released its fourth-quarter results on February 12, 2025. The company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.84, exceeding the anticipated $0.78, thanks largely to unexpected tax benefits and a reduced number of outstanding shares. However, it faced challenges on the revenue front, with net sales totaling $6.58 billion, slightly below the $6.66 billion forecasted, due to declining organic sales. Overall, the quarter reflected mixed results, as profitability initiatives offset weaker sales figures.
