Summary
Kraft Heinz reported third-quarter 2026 results with net sales down 2.0% to $6.1 billion and diluted EPS of $0.46, down 11.5%, and updated its full-year 2026 outlook, raising the low end of its Organic Net Sales guidance to a decline of 0.5% to 1.25% and guiding Adjusted EPS to $2.07–$2.13. CEO Steve Cahillane said the 2026 plan to turn around the U.S. business and accelerate international growth is on track, citing improving market share, sales and volume trends in every region.

- Organic Net Sales fell 1.1% in the quarter, with North America down 3.2% and Emerging Markets up 15.6%.
- Operating income fell 14.6% to $0.9 billion and Adjusted Operating Income fell 15.2%, which the company attributed to procurement and logistics inflation, higher variable compensation and increased advertising spending.

- Year-to-date capital return to stockholders was $1.4 billion in cash dividends, with no shares repurchased under the announced buyback program.
