The business

Oreo is a century of habit sold at 70 cents a pack.

Mondelez sells snacks in 150 countries: Oreo and belVita cookies, Cadbury, Milka and Toblerone chocolates. It booked $38.5B in 2025 selling impulse products at 70 cents a pack, billions of times over. The 28% gross margin comes from volume, not premium pricing.

The brands have a century of habit behind them — people ask for Oreo, not 'a chocolate cookie.' That buys shelf space a new competitor can't get. But it's not a deep moat: private labels gain ground when wallets tighten, and cocoa doesn't do loyalty.

Where each $100 of sales goes

Revenue $38.5B · FY2025

Cost of sales$27.6B · 72%
Operations$7.4B · 19%
Taxes and other$1.1B · 3%
Net profit$2.5B · 6%

Of every $100 in sales, $94 goes to costs and operations; $6 is left as net profit (6% margin).

Catalysts and risks

Pricing power in emerging markets: India and Brazil are growing double digits and now make up ~40% of sales.

Growing dividend backed by $3.2B of FCF (free cash flow); a sustainable yield with a comfortable payout.

Normalization of cocoa costs after the 2024-2025 peaks would expand the gross margin from 28%.

⚠️

Debt of $17.2B against cash of $0.0B — no cushion, everything rides on operating cash flow.

⚠️

Cocoa and sugar squeeze margins; the 28% gross is thin for a consumer brand.

⚠️

GLP-1 and the anti-sugar trend threaten indulgent snack volume over the long term.

Charlie's note

Paying 8.26x for century-old brands that sell themselves on the shelf is a sensible price for a volume business growing at 8% — the moat isn't deep, but at this multiple you aren't asked to count on it. Patience costs little here.
