Harris Associates Concentrated Strategy Tony Coniaris | “Keurig Dr Pepper was a contributor during the quarter. The U.S.-headquartered beverage company's stock rose after better-than-expected first-quarter results, a reaffirmed outlook, and a Barclays rating upgrade. Sales were strong, led by the cold beverage portfolio and the U.S. Refreshment Beverages segment, while U.S. Coffee remained pressured but met expectations. Management continues to make progress on its JDE Peet's integration. We met with management to discuss the departure of Rafa Oliveira, head of its coffee unit, who is leaving for the CEO role at Heineken; the company has begun searching for his replacement. We continue to believe strong execution and integration will help close the valuation gap relative to peers.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 28, 2026 | View Pitch |
Harris Associates Concentrated Strategy Tony Coniaris | “Keurig Dr Pepper was a detractor during the quarter. The U.S. beverage company's stock fell after announcing the acquisition of JDE Peet's, which owns a collection of global coffee brands. Once the combination is complete, Keurig Dr Pepper plans to split into two separate entities. One entity will specialize in coffee, while the other focuses on soft drinks. Separating the coffee and soft drink segments makes strategic sense, as synergy estimates appear conservative, and the multiple paid for JDE Peet's was undemanding. In our view, investors reacted harshly to this announcement because the two-step transaction adds complexity, increases debt, and unexpectedly raises exposure to the coffee category. We believe the sell-off was overdone since Keurig Dr Pepper's fundamentals remain healthy, the organization has a proven track record of deleveraging after prior deals, and the upcoming separation will expose the significant sum-of-the-parts discount. BSD Analysis: The manager sees upside in KDP's restructuring despite short-term skepticism. The coffee-spin unlocks value through clearer segment focus, and historical deleveraging supports capital discipline. At ~18x forward P/E and 3% yield, valuation offers margin of safety amid operational stability.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Sep 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
