In the closing of the recent trading day, Kraft Heinz (KHC) stood at $25.52, denoting a +1.55% move from the preceding trading day.
Jeffries analysts struck a cautious tone regarding Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:KHC, ETR:KHNZ), given what they consider to be the company's persistent retail sales and volume softness, a weak consumer spending environment, and uncertainty around its pending split into two entities.

Sales declined 3% year-over-year, and net income was deeply negative due to the write-down, masking otherwise positive income.
