On April 9, Piper Sandler raised its price target for the company’s shares to $64 from $59, while keeping a Neutral rating. Analyst Michael Lavery observed that, while no additional Mexican tariffs affect Mondelez under the present USMCA compliance, there is a major risk if this situation changes. However, he admitted that the company’s US retail momentum ended the quarter slower than expected, which might have been affected in part by the later timing of Easter this year. Despite these adjustments, Piper Sandler’s 2025 earnings per share forecast for Mondelez remains $2.92.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZ) recorded $9.6 billion in revenue, up 3.11% over the previous year.
