Bulls Say

  • Kerry’s large exposure to the foodservice channel, as well as local and regional food and beverage customers, translates into faster sales growth compared with some flavor and fragrance peers.

  • Kerry is one of the largest firms in a fragmented specialty food ingredient industry, which provides ample opportunities to consolidate and gain meaningful scale.

  • We believe Kerry has taken the right strategic steps to reshape its portfolio toward higher-quality, higher-growth, and higher-margin ingredients businesses.

Bears Say

  • Kerry’s focus on expanding its integrated solutions offering through acquisitions may lead to expensive, value-destroying deals, especially in the case of larger acquisitions.

  • Kerry could be vulnerable to food and beverage companies deciding to take their business in house. We think this is unlikely, as the secular trend has been toward increasing outsourcing of ingredients.

  • Kerry benefits from an abnormally low 13% tax rate thanks to its Irish domicile; it could be vulnerable to a future government seeking to increase this low rate.
