Historical Valuation Ratios (Summary)
Kraft Foods Group Inc., historical price multiples (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2015-03-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2014-12-27), 10-Q (reporting date: 2014-09-27), 10-Q (reporting date: 2014-06-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2014-03-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2013-12-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2013-09-28), 10-Q (reporting date: 2013-06-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2013-03-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2012-12-29), 10-Q (reporting date: 2012-09-30), 10-12B/A (reporting date: 2012-06-30), 10-12B/A (reporting date: 2012-03-31).
- Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio Trends
- Starting from March 2012, the P/E ratio data is unavailable initially but begins at 18.67 in March 2013. Over the next three quarters of 2013, a gradual decrease occurred, reaching 17.28 by December 2013. This downward trend continued into the first quarter of 2014, with the P/E ratio dropping significantly to 12.1 and then maintaining a relatively stable range around 12.07 to 13.95 through December 2014. However, a sharp increase is observed in the first quarter of 2015, where the P/E ratio escalates markedly to 36.18 and then to 53.01 by the latest date in the series. This indicates a considerable rise in the market valuation relative to earnings in early 2015.
- Price to Operating Profit (P/OP) Ratio Patterns
- The P/OP ratio was initially unrecorded before March 2013. At that point, the ratio exhibited a slight increase from 11.48 to 11.53 in June 2013, followed by a continuous decline through 2013, reaching 9.71 by December. During 2014, the ratio further decreased to its lowest levels for the period, between 7.14 and 8.23, showing a stabilization with minor fluctuations. A notable spike occurs in early 2015, with the ratio increasing to 19.96 and further rising to 29.45, mirroring the trend observed in the P/E ratio. This growth suggests increased market valuation relative to operating profits in early 2015.
- Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio Movements
- The P/S ratio begins to be reported from March 2013 at 1.67 and trends upwards over the periods analyzed. It escalates to 1.87 by September 2013, followed by a small decline to 1.79 at the end of the year. Throughout 2014, the ratio fluctuates slightly but maintains an upward slope reaching 2.07 by the end of March 2015. Between the last quarter of 2014 and early 2015, the ratio increases more sharply, peaking at 2.79 in early 2015. The data reflects a consistent rise in the market price relative to sales across the timeframe considered.
- Price to Book Value (P/BV) Ratio Changes
- P/BV ratio data is available across the entire timeframe starting from March 2012 at 1.51, and it rises steeply, peaking at 8.58 in December 2012. Following this peak, there is a gradual decline over 2013 and 2014, where the ratio stabilizes between approximately 5.8 and 6.7. Towards the end of 2014, a rebound happens, with a significant increase to 8.64 and continuing upward momentum reaching 11.25 by March 2015. This reflects a strong recovery and increased valuation relative to the company’s book value in the most recent periods.

- Share Price
- The share price demonstrated a generally upward trend over the observed periods. Starting at approximately $44 at the beginning of 2012, the price showed minor fluctuations through the first year, increasing steadily from the fourth quarter of 2012 onward. By the first quarter of 2015, the share price reached $85.88, indicating a significant appreciation. Notably, after a moderate dip in mid-2014, the price surged substantially in the last recorded quarter.
- Earnings Per Share (EPS)
- Earnings per share data begins in the fourth quarter of 2012 with a value of $2.77. Over the subsequent three years, EPS generally increased, peaking in the first quarter of 2014 at $4.66. Following this peak, a decline is observed; EPS decreased to $4.08 and $4.03 in the following two quarters, and then dropped more sharply to $1.77 and $1.62 in the first two quarters of 2015. This pattern suggests strong earnings growth initially, followed by a notable contraction in earnings during early 2015.
- Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
- The P/E ratio data also appears from the fourth quarter of 2012, starting near 18.67. Throughout 2013 and most of 2014, the ratio remained relatively stable within the range of approximately 12 to 19, reflecting consistent valuation relative to earnings. However, a sharp increase occurs in early 2015, where the P/E ratio escalates dramatically to 36.18 and then to 53.01. This spike coincides with the decrease in EPS, indicating the market maintained or increased prices despite declining earnings, leading to a higher valuation multiple.

- Share price trends
- The share price exhibited a generally upward trend over the analyzed period. Starting at approximately $44 in early 2012, the price remained relatively stable through the first three quarters. A noticeable increase began at the end of 2012, with the price rising to around $51.66. The upward momentum continued through 2013 and into 2014, with some fluctuations. The share price reached $64.17 by the end of 2014 and surged significantly to $85.88 by March 2015, indicating strong investor confidence or positive market developments toward the end of the period.
- Operating profit per share (OPPS) patterns
- Operating profit per share data starts from March 2013, showing initial values around $4.5. There was a steady increase throughout 2013 with OPPS rising from $4.5 to $5.6 by year-end. The growth accelerated in 2014, peaking at $7.87 mid-year, before demonstrating a gradual decline towards the end of that year, ending at $6.82. The trend reversed sharply in early 2015, with OPPS dropping to $3.21 and further down to $2.92 in March 2015. This decline in operating profit per share contrasts with the rising share price, signaling potential concerns about profitability.
- Price to operating profit ratio (P/OP)
- The Price to Operating Profit ratio, available from March 2013 onward, initially hovered around 11.5, reflecting a moderate valuation relative to operating profit. It then decreased gradually through 2013 and the first three quarters of 2014, reaching a low around 7.14, suggesting improved earnings relative to share price during this period. However, towards the end of 2014 and into early 2015, the ratio escalated sharply, peaking at 29.45 in March 2015. This increase is driven by the sharp fall in operating profit per share while the share price continued to rise, indicating that the market valuation was high relative to actual operating earnings at that time, which may imply elevated investor expectations or overvaluation risks.
- Overall insights
- The data demonstrates a divergence in late 2014 and early 2015 between share price and operating profit per share. While the share price significantly increased, operating profit per share declined, causing the P/OP ratio to spike. This could indicate that market sentiment or external factors were driving share prices beyond fundamental operating performance during this period. Earlier periods show more consistent alignment between share price appreciation and improving operating profitability. Such trends warrant close monitoring for sustainability of share price levels and reassessment of underlying profitability trends.

- Share Price Trend
- The share price exhibited an overall upward trend from March 31, 2012, to March 28, 2015. Starting at $44, the price remained relatively stable around the mid-$40 range until the end of 2012, when it increased to approximately $51.66. Throughout 2013 and 2014, the price fluctuated moderately between approximately $53 and $57, with a gradual increase observed in the latter part of 2014. A significant rise occurred in early 2015, reaching $85.88 by the end of the period.
- Sales Per Share Stability
- Sales per share data is available starting from March 30, 2013. The figures remained relatively stable throughout the periods observed, ranging narrowly from $30.35 to $30.96. There is no pronounced upward or downward trend, indicating consistent sales performance on a per-share basis over the timeframe.
- Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio Development
- The price-to-sales ratio reveals a clear increasing trend from March 30, 2013, to March 28, 2015. Beginning at 1.67, the ratio fluctuated moderately but generally increased, reaching 2.79 by the end of the period. This rise suggests that the market valuation of the company relative to its sales per share improved significantly, especially notable in the accelerated increase during early 2015.
- Combined Insights
- The stable sales per share combined with rising share prices and an increasing P/S ratio indicates enhanced market confidence and valuation multiples over time. The lack of significant sales growth alongside rising share prices suggests that investor expectations or other external valuation factors may have contributed to the appreciation in stock price and P/S ratio.

- Share Price
- The share price demonstrated a general upward trend over the analyzed periods. Starting at $44 in March 2012, it remained relatively flat in the first two quarters, then increased noticeably to $51.66 by December 2012. From March 2013 onwards, the share price showed consistent growth with minor fluctuations, rising from $53.11 to reach a notable peak of $85.88 by March 2015. This indicates increased market valuation and investor confidence over time.
- Book Value Per Share (BVPS)
- BVPS exhibited a declining trend in the initial periods, dropping sharply from $29.16 in March 2012 to a low of $6.02 by December 2012. Post this period, there was a gradual recovery with BVPS slightly increasing to $8.7 by December 2013 and further stabilizing around the $7 to $9 range in subsequent quarters. However, the levels remained significantly lower compared to the initial period, suggesting possible asset write-downs or increased liabilities impacting the company's net asset base.
- Price to Book Value Ratio (P/BV)
- The P/BV ratio displayed a marked increase from 1.51 in March 2012, peaking at 8.58 by December 2012. Thereafter, the ratio fluctuated between approximately 5.8 and 8.6 for most of the subsequent quarters, before sharply rising to 11.25 by March 2015. The elevated P/BV ratios throughout the later periods reflect a market value substantially higher than the book value per share, which may indicate investor expectations of strong future earnings or a premium for intangible assets not captured on the balance sheet.
- Overall Analysis
- The combined data reveal a contrasting dynamic between market perception and the company’s book value. While share prices increased substantially, especially in the last measured quarter, the book value per share did not demonstrate a parallel increase and remained subdued after a significant decline. The rising P/BV ratio underlines growing investor optimism or valuation premiums, highlighting potential market confidence in growth prospects or profitability improvements despite the reduced net asset base.
