Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Kerry’s large exposure to the foodservice channel, as well as local and regional food and beverage customers, translates into faster sales growth compared with some flavor and fragrance peers.

Bears

Kerry’s focus on expanding its integrated solutions offering through acquisitions may lead to expensive, value-destroying deals, especially in the case of larger acquisitions.
