Wells Fargo Says Tight Cocoa Supplies Could Support Prices, Prefers Mondelez (MDLZ)June 13, 2026 11:47 AM
IH Market News Cocoa Market Faces Ongoing Supply Constraints Wells Fargo has released a fresh assessment of the global cocoa market, indicating that limited inventories could continue to underpin cocoa prices despite the commodity’s sharp decline from record highs. The bank noted that cocoa prices have rebounded in recent weeks after retreating significantly from the historic surge seen in 2024. Following several years of trading within a range of roughly $2,000 to $3,000 per metric ton, cocoa prices climbed to nearly $13,000 per metric ton in early 2024. Although prices later eased and returned to around $3,000 per metric ton beginning in late 2025, recent market activity has pointed to renewed strength. El Niño Remains a Key Risk for Production Wells Fargo highlighted weather risks as a major factor influencing the market outlook, particularly the growing likelihood of an El Niño event. According to data from NOAA, there is an approximately 80% probability that El Niño conditions will develop this year. Historically, such events have negatively affected cocoa production in key growing regions. Barry Callebaut, the world’s largest cocoa bean processor, said last week that it is “watching the potential effect of El Niño,” although the company continues to forecast a global cocoa surplus this year. El Niño conditions are often associated with hotter and drier weather patterns in major cocoa-producing countries and have coincided with notable production shortfalls in both 2016 and 2024. Inventories Could Fall to Record Lows The bank’s analysis suggests that a severe El Niño scenario could reduce global cocoa production by a high-single-digit percentage. Such an outcome would place additional pressure on already constrained inventories and could drive the global stock-to-grinding ratio down to approximately 23.8%. That would fall below the previous record low of 26.5% reached in 2024, highlighting the potential for continued supply tightness across the cocoa market. Mondelez Viewed as a Key Beneficiary Against this backdrop, Wells Fargo identified Mondelez International (NASDAQ:MDLZ) as its preferred investment opportunity within the sector. The bank estimates that Mondelez could benefit from a significant reduction in cocoa-related input costs in 2027, projecting a year-over-year decline of approximately 37% based on current forward market pricing. Lower raw material costs could provide support for margins and profitability if cocoa prices evolve in line with market expectations. More about Mondelez International Mondelez International is one of the world’s largest snack food companies, with a portfolio that includes brands such as Oreo, Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone and Ritz. The company operates across more than 150 countries and is a major consumer of cocoa, making commodity price movements an important factor in its cost structure and earnings performance.

Cadbury invite les Canadiens à faire en sorte que « Chaque bouchée compte » dans le cadre d'une nouvelle campagne en soutien à Banques alimentaires CanadaApril 7, 2026 6:00 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

En s'associant aux vedettes du hockey, Nazem Kadri et Marie-Philip Poulin, Cadbury fait de la faim le chiffre à battre. TORONTO, le 7 avril 2026 /CNW/ - Cadbury fait de la faim le chiffre à battre en lançant Chaque bouchée compte, une campagne nationale qui encourage les Canadiens à transformer leurs achats quotidiens de chocolat en soutien concret pour les personnes dans le besoin. Dans le cadre de son engagement continu à soutenir les Canadiens dans le besoin, Cadbury fait un don total de 200 000 $ à Banques alimentaires Canada et à certaines banques alimentaires affiliées. Grâce à cette campagne, une partie des recettes provenant des ventes de produits Cadbury entre le 6 avril et le 18 mai sera versée, jusqu'à concurrence de 100 000 $. De plus, Cadbury fera un don direct de 100?000 $ à Banques alimentaires Canada. 







La campagne Chaque bouchée compte, inspirée par la culture du hockey, transforme les numéros de maillot en chiffres concrets et en statistiques stupéfiantes sur l'insécurité alimentaire au Canada. « Les Canadiens aiment le hockey, et ils tiennent profondément à leurs communautés », a déclaré Pierina De Carolis, directrice, Communications et engagement communautaire, Mondelez Canada. « Avec cette campagne, Cadbury s'efforce d'être une véritable force dans la lutte contre l'insécurité alimentaire, en utilisant notre marque pour générer un changement concret. En réunissant une passion commune pour le hockey et un engagement partagé envers la générosité, nous permettons aux Canadiens de passer à l'action. Lorsque vous achetez un produit Cadbury, vous aidez à offrir un repas à quelqu'un qui en a besoin. »Afin de mobiliser les fans à l'échelle nationale, Cadbury s'est de nouveau associé à l'AJLNH ainsi qu'aux vedettes du hockey, Nazem Kadri et Marie-Philip Poulin, qui apportent leur leadership et leur esprit communautaire à la campagne, inspirant les Canadiens à se rassembler, à afficher leur fierté et à avoir un impact.« Voir ce numéro, voir mon numéro être associé aux statistiques, c'est quelque chose qui m'ouvre vraiment les yeux » a déclaré Marie Philip-Poulin. « Je pense que c'est un droit fondamental. Chaque personne au Canada devrait pouvoir avoir de la nourriture sur sa table. »« Je suis fier d'être de retour pour soutenir Cadbury et le travail incroyable qu'ils accomplissent en coulisses pour aider les familles qui font face à l'insécurité alimentaire », a déclaré Nazem Kadri. « Quand on voit des enfants et de jeunes familles avoir du mal à trouver leur prochain repas, ça frappe vraiment. Vous pensez peut-être qu'acheter une seule tablette de chocolat ne changera rien, mais quand beaucoup de gens donnent un peu, ça peut aller très loin. »Au Canada, le recours aux banques alimentaires n'a jamais été aussi élevé, avec près de 2,2 millions de visites chaque mois.« Les visites aux banques alimentaires au Canada continuent de croître à un rythme record », a déclaré Erin Filey-Wronecki, directrice principale du développement et des partenariats chez Banques alimentaires Canada. « Des campagnes telles que Chaque bouchée compte sont essentielles pour nous aider à répondre à la demande croissante à travers le pays. Nous sommes reconnaissants envers Cadbury pour son partenariat continu et envers les Canadiens qui choisissent des petits gestes quotidiens en un soutien concret pour leurs voisins. »Mondelez Canada, société mère de Cadbury, est un partenaire de longue date de Banques alimentaires Canada, ayant contribué à offrir plus de 22 millions de repas depuis 2013. Les Canadiens peuvent soutenir la mission de Cadbury et de Banques alimentaires Canada en faisant en sorte que chaque bouchée compte grâce à l'achat de leur produit Cadbury préféré.À propos de Mondelez International

Cadbury Invites Canadians to Make Every Bite Count in New Campaign Supporting Food Banks CanadaApril 7, 2026 6:00 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)

Teaming up with hockey stars Nazem Kadri and Marie-Philip Poulin, Cadbury makes hunger the number to beat.TORONTO, April 7, 2026 /CNW/ - Cadbury makes hunger the number to beat with the launch of Make Every Bite Count, a national campaign encouraging Canadians to turn everyday chocolate purchases into meaningful support for those in need. As part of its continued commitment to supporting Canadians in need, Cadbury is contributing a total of $200,000 to Food Banks Canada and select affiliate food banks. Through the campaign, a portion of proceeds from Cadbury product sales between April 6 and May 18 will be donated, up to $100,000. Additionally, Cadbury will be making a direct donation of $100,000 to Food Banks Canada.







Inspired by hockey culture, Make Every Bite Count transforms jersey numbers into real numbers and staggering stats behind food insecurity in Canada, "Canadians love hockey, and they also care deeply about their communities," said Pierina DeCarolis, Head of Communications and Community Impact, Mondelez Canada. "With this campaign, Cadbury is striving to be a real force in the fight against food insecurity, using our brand to drive meaningful change. By bringing together a shared love of hockey with a shared commitment to giving back, we're making it simple for Canadians to take action. When you buy a Cadbury product, you're helping donate a meal to someone who needs it."To rally fans nationwide, Cadbury has once again partnered with the NHLPA and hockey standouts Nazem Kadri and Marie-Philip Poulin, who are bringing their leadership and community spirit to the campaign, inspiring Canadians to unite, show their pride, and make an impact."Seeing the number, seeing my number being a part of the stats is something that's really eye opening to me," said Marie Philip-Poulin. "I think it's a basic right. Every person in Canada should be able to have food on their table.""I'm proud to be back supporting Cadbury and the incredible work they're doing behind the scenes to help families facing food insecurity," said Nazem Kadri. "When you see kids and young families struggling to find their next meal, it really hits home. You might think buying one chocolate bar won't make a difference, but when a lot of people come together to give a little, it can go a long way."Canada's need for food banks is at an all-time high, with nearly 2.2 million visits to food banks each month."Food bank visits in Canada continue to grow at a record pace," said Erin Filey-Wronecki, Chief Development and Partnerships Officer at Food Banks Canada. "Campaigns like Make Every Bite Count are vital in helping us respond to increasing demand across the country. We're grateful for Cadbury's continued partnership and for the people in Canada who choose to turn small, everyday actions into meaningful support for their neighbours."Mondelez Canada, parent company of Cadbury, is a long-standing partner of Food Banks Canada, having helped donate more than 22 million meals since 2013. Canadians can support Cadbury and Food Banks Canada in their mission by making every bite count with the purchase of their favourite Cadbury product.About Mondelez International

Interesting $MDLZ "SHOCKING: 90% of cheese made with Pfizer GMO derived product.

Even I didn’t know about this until recently.

You might have heard about something called rennet. It is used to coagulate milk into cheese and it has traditionally come from the stomach of a young calf.

But in 1990, the FDA approved a very different kind of rennet to be used in cheese called FPC.

This FPC rennet is in fact made from GMO products invented by none other than Pfizer.

And guess what – The company DSM-firmenich that makes the infamous Bovaer is also today a major producer of this GMO rennet.

DSM-firmenich has also received millions of dollars in funding from none other than Bill Gates.

A staggering 90% of cheese in the USA is now made with this Pfizer GMO derived rennet – You have probably been eating this stuff today without even knowing it!

Even a lot of European cheese is made with this.

You don’t want to eat the fake lab-grown meat. But what about the lab-made rennet from Pfizer?

The thing is, they get away without even having to call it GMO, so you don’t even know about it. You are being lied to about your cheese.

And there is no long-term human trials on the safety of this product.
You will never be able to guess how they make this stuff.

They insert cow genes into black mold or E. Coli bacteria. Sounds disgusting, right?

The truth is even worse than you can imagine.

It involves CRISPR gene editing to make an abomination of a product.

So I’m here to tell you all about this secret Pfizer ingredient that is in your cheese and how they make it…

And I will also tell you about some cheeses that do NOT contain this Pfizer GMO derived product...

I’m here to report the news that is being censored by the mainstream media, and unlike them, I get nothing in funding from Bill Gates and George Soros.

Therefore I need your support to be able to continue bringing you stories like this – By becoming a paid subscriber you will help me to reach even more people with real uncensored news.

And as a paid subscriber you also get access to exclusive in-depth articles and exclusive posts.

Your support is highly appreciated and much needed, as I am constantly under attack by the establishment for daring to report the news they don’t want you to hear!

SHOCKING: 90% of cheese made with Pfizer GMO derived product.

Bill Ackman's long thesis for Mondelez

Great summary of Bill Ackman's 1Q17 Letter

Mondelez

1Q17 Earnings: reported organic sales growth of 0.6%, driven by pricing growth (1.1%) and a volume decline (0.5%); all regions experienced growth with exception of North America
Despite the modest top-line growth, operating profit margins expanded significantly to 16.8%, driven primarily by a reduction in overhead costs as percentage of sales reflecting the implementation of zero-based budgeting and the rollout of global shared services
Management remains committed to its 2018 operating profit margin target of 17% to 18%
Mondelez is one of the few large-cap packaged food companies that is demonstrating both margin expansion and top-line organic growth
Over the long-term, believe that MDLZ’s categories and geographic footprint give it a significant advantage, especially in emerging markets where MDLZ’s large market shares and robust routes to market should drive accelerated growth

This Trade is Good for One Thing and One thing Only, to Swing the 3% that it goes up and down on every 6 to 8 weeks.

Flash forward ~15 months later. WSJ op-ed from Yale professor, criticizing activist investor Peltz. Yale professor appears for interview on CNBC, in 7:30-9 am time frame today, defending his position taken in WSJ.


Peltz appears on CNBC during noon hour by phone to defend his record in Trion since investment with respect to Kraft/MDLZ, criticizing Yale professor as omitting data or relying on inaccurate data. Yale professor responds by twitter or email whatever in real time.

Did you see the above in real-time? Any comments?
I found the entire process to be a fascinating piece of media/journalism. No current position in MDLZ myself, but thought Peltz had the better of debate.

MDLZ soars 8% to all-time high on partial sale of coffee business and more cost-cutting:

Key message: There’s a strong correlation between global GDP and consumption of packaged snack foods, particularly biscuits (cookies) and chocolate. In 2013, emerging markets comprised 40% of MDLZ's overall sales, growing 9% YoY.

Share Buy Backs.......

Anyone hear when the first round of Buy Backs is ??

This will surely move this baby up.........

:)

Clarification: The $1.55-1.60 EPS guidance range for 2013 is on a constant currency basis; if exchange rates remain where they are today, they will incur a headwind of $0.05/sh, resulting in an effective EPS guidance range of $1.50-1.55.

Sold,,, Waiting To Buy Back In,,,,,

At $29++........

Oh Yes ! The MM'S will take it there before next earnings!

Just Watch !!!!!!

Here We Go Again ! Peltz Wants Pepsi.......

To Buy Mondelez Lock Stock N Barrel..........

:):)

MDLZ Still An Awesome Play...........
Found this today....
A couple underrated foods companies include J.M. Smucker and Mondelez (NASDAQ: MDLZ). Smucker is one of the great peanut butter-coffee combo companies, while Mondelez is the international spinoff from Kraft Food Group.


Its key segment is the biscuit category, accounting for over 30% of revenues, with 27% of revenue from the chocolate category, 17% from beverages, 15% from gum and candy and 9% from cheese and grocery. Mondelez's key brands include Oreo, Ritz, Chips Ahoy, Cadbury and Trident.


Unlike General Mills and Kellogg, Mondelez already has impressive international exposure, with about 80% of sales are expected to come from outside of North America in 2013.


Rumors are floating that billionaire activist Nelson Peltz might be looking to push Pepsi's snack food business and Mondelez to merge. This is big news, as I think this could be a big positive for both companies. The stock is down over 5% during the past month. This could be a good time to buy into the stock.


Mondelez has reaffirmed its 2013 organic revenue growth target of 5%, while upping its earnings guidance to $1.55 to $1.60 per share. At the mid-point, that would be 13% year over year EPS growth. This international snack company also pays investors a 1.8% dividend yield on a 50% payout of earnings.

Hey, Check This Out...........

With Mondelez focusing on international emerging markets, especially China, and Smithfield Foods being acquired by a Chinese company, they both have similar interests. But Mondelez is trading at a valuation significantly lower than Smithfield's. If the former were bought out at a valuation similar to the latter's, the shares could go for $40 each. That is a 33 premium over current market value, which would be a handsome reward for today's call buyer.

Thanks awesome news......

A related question is whether a bid (if it occurs at all) will be "friendly" or hostile.
