On April 29, 2026, analyst firm UBS confirmed its Hold action for Mondelez International (NASDAQ: MDLZ) with a Neutral grade. Mondelez International, a leading global snack company known for popular brands such as Oreo, Cadbury, and Sour Patch Kids, saw its stock price at $58.54 at the time of the rating.
In a related move, UBS also increased its price target on Mondelez International to $64.00 from a previous target of $62.00. A price target is an analyst's projection of a stock's future price, and this increase suggests a slightly more positive outlook on the company's ability to grow its value and deliver shareholder returns.
This positive outlook is supported by strong revenue figures. As highlighted by Zacks, Mondelez International's revenue for the quarter reached $10.08 billion. This amount surpassed the consensus estimate by nearly 3% and showed an increase from the $9.31 billion in revenue from the year-ago quarter, indicating robust sales performance.
The company's growth trajectory is largely driven by its international performance. Mondelez International reported strong growth in emerging markets, which saw a 6.3% increase in the first quarter. As noted by the Wall Street Journal, this includes double-digit growth in Latin America and the Asia, Middle East, and Africa region, underscoring the company's successful global expansion strategy.
However, the Neutral rating may reflect some mixed results in its latest earnings report. While Mondelez International posted quarterly earnings of $0.67 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.61, this is a decrease from the $0.74 per share reported in the same quarter last year, suggesting potential challenges in profitability despite strong sales.
