Kraft Heinz reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of $0.56, topping the consensus estimate of $0.53 by about 5.6%. Revenue came in at $6.26 billion, beating estimates of roughly $6.12 billion by 2.4%. The quarter was powered by coffee and ready-to-drink category pricing alongside 10.4% growth in Emerging Markets, which helped offset a 2.7% decline in North America sales.
On the strength of those results, management raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $2.03 to $2.09 and lifted its organic sales outlook as well. The company is also absorbing an additional $100 million of brand investment this quarter, bringing total incremental spending to roughly $700 million for the year — a signal that Kraft Heinz is leaning harder into marketing even as its home market faces pressure.

The EPS beat continues a streak of above-estimate quarters: Kraft Heinz has topped consensus in each of the past eight reported periods, going back to Q3 2024. Investors will be watching whether the Emerging Markets momentum and pricing gains can keep pace with the ongoing drag in North America and sustain guidance through the back half of the year.
