Kraft Heinz Trading Alerts and Improvement Suggestions

The company has 20.65 B in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.43, which is OK given its current industry classification. Kraft Heinz has a current ratio of 0.87, suggesting that it has not enough short term capital to pay financial commitments when the payables are due. Debt can assist Kraft Heinz until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Kraft Heinz's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Kraft Heinz sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Kraft to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Kraft Heinz's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

Kraft Heinz Greeks

Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Kraft Heinz or Food Products sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Kraft Heinz's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Kraft stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.

Kraft Heinz Volatility Alert

Kraft Heinz Co has relatively low volatility with skewness of -1.09 and kurtosis of 5.55. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Kraft Heinz's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Kraft Heinz's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different financial instruments as prices fall.

Kraft Heinz Implied Volatility

Kraft Heinz's implied volatility exposes the market's sentiment of Kraft Heinz Co stock's possible movements over time. However, it does not forecast the overall direction of its price. In a nutshell, if Kraft Heinz's implied volatility is high, the market thinks the stock has potential for high price swings in either direction. On the other hand, the low implied volatility suggests that Kraft Heinz stock will not fluctuate a lot when Kraft Heinz's options are near their expiration.

The market value of Kraft Heinz is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Kraft that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Kraft Heinz's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Kraft Heinz's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Kraft Heinz's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Kraft Heinz's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Kraft Heinz's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Kraft Heinz is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Kraft Heinz's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
