Mondelez International (MDLZ) is upgraded to Buy, reflecting resilience amid macro headwinds and a valuation offering margin of safety. MDLZ delivered solid Q1 results, maintaining strong market positions and projecting $3B FCF in 2026 despite the previously anticipated cocoa price and inventory pressures. Management expects 2026 to be a weaker year compared to their long-term algorithm, with 0–2% organic net revenue growth, followed by stronger performance as macro pressures ease.
