Guggenheim analyst Laurent Grandet initiated Mondelez (MDLZ) with a Buy rating and a price target of $47. The analyst notes that the company had "underdelivered" on its growth promises since its inception but sees the management's recent shift in focus to growth after "years of cost cutting and margin expansion" as a positive. Grandet adds that Mondelez is entering a period of "above-average organic sales and EPS growth" as it builds scale internationally and looks to "monetize its investments in Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) and / or Jacobs Douwe Egberts" to generate new M&A opportunities.
