Kraft Heinz's Q1 FY24 revenue fell short of estimates with a 1.2% decline, but reaffirmed its FY24 EPS and revenue growth outlook. Shares dropped 4.43% in premarket trading.
The revenue miss for Q1 FY24 is likely to negatively impact investor sentiment in the short term, as evidenced by the premarket trading drop. However, the company's reaffirmation of its FY24 outlook and the increase in gross profit may mitigate some concerns over the longer term.
