Mondelez posted 2.1% organic sales growth in the third quarter and a 380-basis-point jump in adjusted gross margin to 34.2%. Shares shot up around 6% in after-hours trading on Oct. 29.
Mondelez's strategic decision to empower in-market leaders and fuel investments in its local jewels (which has been starved in favor of investing in its global brands) should drive outsize growth in emerging markets.
North America has been in the doldrums (down 1% on an organic basis in fiscal 2025), which we attribute to a value-seeking consumer and lower retail inventory levels (though this is not a Mondelez-specific predicament).
