## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 22.4×** (5-yr avg 22.7×, 3-yr avg 21.1×). Mondelez International Inc. trades at 22.4× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 22.7×. The Consumer Defensive median in the September 2026 study was 20.1×. Forward P/E is 18.2×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 2.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.0×.
- **Price / book: 2.9×**. The shares trade at 2.9× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 15.6×**. Enterprise value is 15.6× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 3.3%** (5-yr avg 4.1%). Free cash flow equals 3.3% of the market value, below its five-year average of 4.1%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
- **Earnings yield: 4.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 28.8%**. Mondelez International Inc. keeps 28.8% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 9.4%**. 9.4% of revenue is left after running the business.
- **Net margin: 6.4%**. 6.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 9.5%**. 9.5% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

- **Return on assets: 3.6%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.6% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 5.8%** (3-yr 7.0%/yr, 5-yr 7.7%/yr). Revenue grew 5.8% over the last year, against 7.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -44.7%** (3-yr -1.2%/yr, 5-yr -5.2%/yr). Earnings per share fell 44.7%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 2.5%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 2.5% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health

- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.1×**. It would take 0.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
