Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) is a rare example of a company that has issued sizable debt with the goal of increasing sales and earnings - particularly earnings, in the case of Kraft Heinz. The unique, hard-to-copy management style of 3G (entrepreneurial, zero-base budgeting), coupled with low-cost debt, has proven to be quite a powerful combination for driving higher profitability well beyond industry peers.
