Guru Investment Theses on Kraft Foods Group Inc

John Keeley Comments on Kraft - Dec 11, 2012

In corporate restructuring, the activity has been robust. We held a number of larger-cap companies prior to their spin-offs, and now a few of those such as Kraft (KRFT) have completed their break-up and have begun trading as stand-alone entities. We see value in both companies and continue to hold both positions in the portfolio.

Warren Buffett - Warren Buffett - Retracing The Kraft-Mondelez Split
Amid a sharp decline in revenue and the after-shock of dividing the company, spinning off a new global snacks unit Mondelez International Inc. (MDLZ) in October 2012, Kraft Foods Group (KRFT) reported last month that its fourth-quarter earnings were down 72%. In 2011 the company’s largest investor Guru Warren Buffett was against this split that meant the Kraft company would separate 95,000 trademarks and divide billion-dollar brands of chocolate, cookies and other foods and beverages. At that time, Buffett said in a CNBC interview: “Whenever a company makes a deal, I go to the store and I buy a congratulations card and I buy a sympathy card. And then five years later I decide which one to send.” On Dec. 31, 2012, Buffett reduced his KRFT position by 94.52%. Read more...
