Are Wall Street Analysts Predicting Mondelez International Stock Will Climb or Sink?

Chicago, Illinois-based Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ) manufactures, markets, and sells snack food and beverage products in North America and internationally. The company has a market cap of $82.9 billion and offers biscuits and baked snacks, including cookies, crackers, salted snacks, snack bars, cakes, and more under the Oreo, Ritz, LU, CLIF Bar, and Tate's Bake Shop biscuit brands. 

MDLZ stock has outperformed the broader market over the past year and in 2026. MDLZ stock has grown 15.5% over the past 52 weeks and 23.3% YTD. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has returned 10.3% over the past year and risen 10.2% in 2026.        

Narrowing the focus, MDLZ has lagged behind the State Street Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF’s (XLP) 19.1% rise over the past 52 weeks and has outpaced its 16.9% increase this year. 

On Oct. 30, MDLZ stock rose 3.9% following the release of its mixed Q3 2026 earnings. The company’s revenue for the quarter amounted to $10 billion and failed to meet the Street’s forecasts. However, despite the earnings miss, its revenue rose 2.3% from the year-ago quarter, driven by a 2.1% increase in organic net revenues, showcasing durable underlying consumer demand. Additionally, MDLZ’s adjusted EPS for the period amounted to $0.78 and surpassed the consensus estimates. 

For the current year, which ends in December 2026, analysts expect MDLZ’s EPS to rise 4.8% to $3.06 on a diluted basis. It surpassed the consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters. 

MDLZ has a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating overall. Of the 23 analysts covering the stock, opinions include 14 “Strong Buys,” two “Moderate Buys,” and seven “Holds.”

The configuration has grown slightly more bullish as the stock now has 14 “Strong Buy” ratings, compared to 13 a month ago.  

On Nov. 2, Barclays analyst Andrew Lazar maintained a “Buy” rating on Mondelez International and set a price target of $72. 

MDLZ’s mean price target of $70.27 indicates a premium of 5.9% from the current market price. The Street-high target of $75 suggests a notable 13% upside potential.
