“French food giant Danone rallied along with its consumer staples peers as investors rotated into defensive stocks during the second quarter. Though the company faces headwinds from high raw material costs and supply chain constraints, its size and market share provide it with opportunities to mitigate the impact of these challenges. Danone is in the early stages of a multi-year turnaround plan to reshape its portfolio of businesses through acquisitions and divestments and greater investment in the brands it retains, which could help support pricing power and margins over the long term.”
