Q3 2026

Weak earnings and stalled asset sale offset buyback and dividend support

  • Profit and revenue decline, cash flow turns negative First-half net profit fell 23% to 135 million yuan and revenue dropped 10.8% to 2.515 billion yuan. Operating cash flow swung to negative 182 million yuan, a huge deterioration. This weak core business pressures the stock because it shows the company is selling less and collecting less cash.

    The interim report is the clearest evidence of fundamental weakness driving the stock down.

  • Saifeiya stake sale hits payment snag The buyer of ST Juewei's 24.17% stake in loss-making Saifeiya missed the first payment deadline. The 84.58 million yuan exit is now uncertain, meaning the company may stay tied to a long-time money-loser and not get the cash it expected.

    This is a new negative event that threatens a planned cash inflow and adds uncertainty.

  • More related-party deals with a loss-making associate ST Juewei raised its 2026 related-party transaction quota by 25 million yuan, all tied to Sichuan Liaoji, an associate with negative net assets and a first-half loss. This raises concerns about cash being diverted to a struggling partner while the company's own finances weaken.

    It shows a new governance and capital-allocation risk that can weigh on investor confidence.

  • Buyback and dividend return cash to shareholders ST Juewei is buying back 100-200 million yuan of stock and paying a 0.25 yuan per share dividend. By September 30 it had already repurchased about 8.5 million shares for roughly 100 million yuan. These actions support the share price by reducing shares outstanding and returning cash.

    These are the main positive forces offsetting the weak earnings and asset-sale problems.

Q3 2026

Mondelez beats Q2, raises guidance, but cost and regulatory pressures mount

  • Q2 beat and raised guidance Mondelez beat Q2 estimates and raised 2026 organic growth guidance to at least 2%, helped by emerging-market gains, new products, and sustainability efforts like recycled packaging.

    This is the main positive force that supported the stock during the quarter.

  • Cocoa and sugar cost squeeze Cocoa and sugar costs squeezed operating income and EPS, and a potential record El Niño threatens West African cocoa supplies, adding to margin pressure.

    This is a key negative force that weighed on profitability and investor sentiment.

  • Fed rate-hike signals Fed rate-hike signals raise refinancing costs and reduce dividend appeal, making the stock less attractive to income-focused investors.

    This is a new monetary headwind that affected the stock's valuation and appeal.

  • Regulatory and recall pressures UK junk-food regulations, a Poland shrinkflation probe, and a Cadbury Oreo recall add regulatory pressure, creating uncertainty and potential costs.

    These are new regulatory and operational risks that emerged during the quarter.

Mondelez Grinds Out Growth as Cocoa and Sugar Costs Bite

  • Q2 beat and raised 2026 outlook Mondelez beat Q2 estimates for a fourth straight quarter, with revenue up 4.1% and emerging markets growing 4.4%. Management then raised 2026 organic revenue growth guidance to at least 2%. Steady sales and higher guidance support the stock by showing the snack business is still expanding.

    This is the core positive fundamental news of the period and directly supports the share price.

  • Cocoa and sugar costs squeeze margins Cocoa cost timing already cut year-to-date adjusted operating income 12.8% and EPS 8.8%, with productivity only partly offsetting it. Sugar prices also jumped 13% in six weeks, adding another input cost. Higher costs pressure profits and weigh on the stock.

    Rising raw material costs are the main force holding Mondelez's profits and share price back.

  • Super El Niño threatens West African cocoa crop Jefferies warned a possible record-strength El Niño could bring hotter, drier weather to West Africa before the November-January harvest. About 60% of Mondelez's cocoa comes from Ivory Coast and Ghana. A poor crop would keep cocoa prices high and hurt future margins.

    This is a concrete new supply risk that could extend the cocoa cost problem into 2027.

  • New products and farm investment offset regulatory probes Mondelez launched Toblerone Diamond Truffles with Biscoff through Costco worldwide and invested in a Canadian farm fund to secure crops. But Poland's watchdog is probing possible shrinkflation, and a Cadbury Oreo bar recall added regulatory risk. Growth efforts help; investigations and recalls hurt.

    It captures both the new growth initiatives and the fresh regulatory and recall risks affecting the stock.

Mondelez Q2 Beat and Raised Outlook Offset by Fed Rate Fears

  • Q2 Beat and Raised Full-Year Outlook Mondelez reported Q2 revenue of $9.36 billion and adjusted EPS that beat estimates, driven by solid demand for biscuits and chocolate plus price increases. Management raised full-year organic revenue growth guidance to at least 2%, up from flat to up 2%. This directly boosts investor confidence and supports a higher stock price.

    This is the most recent and most impactful positive catalyst for MDLZ, showing stronger-than-expected financial performance and improved future guidance.

  • Fed Signals Potential Rate Hike, Pressuring Dividend Stocks The Federal Reserve held rates steady but hinted at a possible hike, pushing the 2-year Treasury yield up. Higher rate expectations make Mondelez's acquisition-related debt more expensive to refinance and reduce the appeal of its dividend compared to bonds. This weighed on MDLZ shares, which fell 2.1% on the day.

    This monetary policy shift directly affects MDLZ's cost of capital and relative attractiveness to income investors, explaining downward price pressure.

  • UK Junk Food Regulations Threaten Investment Mondelez's CEO warned that tightening UK junk food rules create uncertainty and could deter future factory investment in Britain, its second-biggest market. While no immediate financial impact, this regulatory risk could raise costs and limit growth opportunities in a key region, weighing on long-term sentiment.

    This highlights a real regulatory headwind that could affect Mondelez's operations and investment decisions in a major market.

  • Sustainable Packaging Partnership for Marabou Mondelez partnered with LyondellBasell and others to launch flexible packaging with 75% recycled content for Marabou chocolate bars. This supports sustainability goals, aligns with EU recycled-content rules, and may enhance brand appeal and demand, though the near-term financial impact is modest.

    This innovation supports Mondelez's environmental credentials and regulatory compliance, potentially aiding long-term demand and brand strength.
