Kellogg Company: No Improvement Since 2012

Kellogg's biggest problem lies in the stagnation of its revenues: from 2012 to the present there has been virtually no growth. As of now, it is not yet clear where the HFSS regulations will take Kellogg, but I personally do not think they can have a positive impact in the future. CEO Steve Cahillane: "In an environment like this, which clearly we haven't seen in 40 years, we aren't going to be able to just not pass prices through to consumers." According to my assumptions, Kellogg is overvalued since it has a fair value of $46.53. Kellogg's free cash flow has been flat for a decade and the dividend continues to grow year after year. Is this sustainable?

Is Tyson Foods Stock A Buy Or Sell As Food Prices Increase? It Depends On Your Investment Horizon

The recent rally in Tyson Foods' share price has been largely due to exogenous factors. The company, however, has capitalized on recent inflationary pressures and is one step ahead of its major peer. At the same time, Tyson Foods appears fairly valued and well-positioned to grow.

Why McCormick Is Substantially Overvalued

DCF analysis indicates minimal pathways to upside. Multiple trades well above the historical range over the last two decades. An inflationary environment, increasing private label competition, and an economic pullback complicate an upside story.
