Shares of packaged foods company Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC)
fell 2.5% in the afternoon session after the stock's negative momentum continued as the company reported mixed third-quarter results and multiple analysts lowered their price targets on the stock. The food and beverage company's overall sales declined 2.3% year-over-year to $6.2 billion, falling short of expectations. The report prompted negative commentary from the analyst community. For instance, a TD Cowen analyst reiterated a “Hold” rating and reduced the price target from $28 to $26. Similarly, a Barclays analyst maintained an 'Equal-Weight' rating while lowering the price target from $26.00 to $24.00. This move extended a challenging period for the company, as the stock had already seen a significant decline over the previous year.
