Bulls

Kerry’s integrated solutions model is hard to replicate due to its high service component (based on decades of experience) and wide range of solutions offered.

Bears

Kerry’s status as one of the leaders of the consolidation trend in the still fragmented food ingredient and flavor markets may lead to expensive, value-destroying deals, especially in the case of large acquisitions.
