Kraft Heinz (NasdaqGS:KHC) Unveils New Ready-To-Eat Lunchables PB&J, Solving Parent Pain Points
Kraft Heinz recently launched the Lunchables PB&J, a no-thaw dippable product aimed at providing fun and convenience to children and parents alike. This initiative enhances their product range appeal. Over the last quarter, Kraft Heinz's stock displayed a flat performance, consistent with the general market's moderate movement. The company's mix of product launches, consistent dividend announcements, and share buybacks likely contributed to maintaining investor confidence. However, recent earnings and revised corporate guidance reflecting lowered sales expectations may have countered upward momentum amidst broader market fluctuations. We've spotted 2 risks for Kraft Heinz you should be aware of. NasdaqGS:KHC Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at May 2025 Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 22 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. The launch of Kraft Heinz's Lunchables PB&J introduces new potential revenue streams, aligning with its strategy to enhance brand appeal through product innovation. However, the company's recent flat share performance contrasts with its longer-term five-year total return of 21.88%. During this time, Kraft Heinz has outpaced the one-year decline of 9.9% seen in the US Food industry, despite underperforming the broader US market, which grew 8.2%. This suggests a need to address short-term hurdles while continuing to build on its long-term advancements. With a management focus on marketing and R&D investments, efforts like the new Lunchables PB&J could bolster revenue. Yet, the recent downward revision in sales expectations may temper the immediate optimism surrounding these product innovations. As for earnings forecasts, despite expectations of growth to $3.6 billion by 2028, the recent guidance cut might raise questions about these targets. Currently, Kraft Heinz's share price of US$28.87 is a 11.2% discount to the analyst price target of US$32.52. Investors may need to weigh the potential for value appreciation against near-term market and operational challenges. Insights from our recent valuation report point to the potential undervaluation of Kraft Heinz shares in the market. This article by Simply Wall St is general in nature.

Lunchables Transforms a Lunchtime Classic with First-Ever Dippable, No-Thaw Crustless PB&J
PITTSBURGH & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Lunchables expands its kid-loved and parent-approved offerings with the debut of new Lunchables PB&J: the first-ever dippable, no-thaw crustless PB&J. Grounded in kids' love of dipping¹ and the timeless debate between the perfect ratio of peanut butter and jelly in a PB&J — the new product gives kids the freedom to enjoy a PB&J exactly how they like it. Lunchables PB&J, a 'remix' of a beloved lunchtime staple, includes two deliciously creamy, crustless peanut butter sandwiches per pack, complete with a side of delicious grape or strawberry flavored dip—perfectly crafted for optimal dipping and with no artificial colors. 'The launch of Lunchables PB&J is a continuation in our mission to reinvent the refrigerated category by providing high quality, delicious, affordable and convenient solutions for snack time and beyond,' said Danni Levin, Associate Director of Innovation, Lunchables. 'We're remixing a classic, delivering on parents' desire for convenience and kids' love of dipping and customizing – PB&Js will never be the same!' Beyond equipping kids with the independence to customize, Lunchables PB&J also solves the number one pain point for parents: thaw time. 2 Current PB&J category offerings are frozen, which require 30-60 minutes of thaw time before serving. Now, Lunchables is tackling this frustration head-on with the first-ever no-thaw, crustless PB&J that's ready-to-eat straight from the refrigerator for any time hunger strikes. Kid meltdowns, no more! To spread the excitement, the brand is reuniting GRAMMY Award-winning producer and artist Lil Jon and hip hop icon Twista for the first time in over a decade to remix a nostalgic, viral hit that many millennial parents can sing at the drop of a dime: 'Peanut Butter Jelly Time.' Just as Lunchables is 'remixing' kids' #1 favorite sandwich variety, 3 Lil Jon and Twista are putting a fresh spin on the nostalgic hit over 20 years after the original track's debut. Dropping today, fans can listen to the song on Lunchables YouTube as well as download for their playlists via Spotify. "It was cool to link back up with Twista on the Lunchables 'Peanut Butter Jelly Time' remix, cause I knew it would be fun, and we would make somethin' fire,' said Lil Jon. 'PB&J takes me back to my childhood days…YEAHHH!' The debut of Lunchables PB&J reinforces the brand's commitment to making bigger, more intentional bets to fuel growth and create new experiences for consumers. The innovation grows Lunchables' presence in the sandwich category, following the brand's first entrance with the debut of Grilled Cheesies in 2023. The launch of PB&J enables Lunchables to bring a convenient, kid-loved offering to the refrigerated section and reflects Kraft Heinz's broader ambition to drive $2 billion in incremental sales through innovation by 2027. Starting today, Lunchables PB&J is rolling out to select retailers nationwide for $2.49/pack.
