-- Regardless
of what you want to call it, these 5 companies are taking advantage
of the move to meatless alternatives, with serious potential to
make a lot of money for investors in the long
run:
As a result
of changes in consumer tastes, companies have invested a total of
$16 billion in plant-based meat, egg and dairy products. Let's look
at how stockholders can make that money work for them.
On to the Top 5:
Global
Diversified Marketing Group Inc (OTC:
GDMK)

Mondelez
International
(NASDAQ:
MDLZ)
Though
hardly a household name itself, Mondelez
International
owns plenty of brands that are, from Oreo to Toblerone.
In recent months, Mondelez
made a
splash, and considerable profits, as more people sought out
stress-managing sweet and salty snacks
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The
company's Q1 revenue soared 15.1% in the North American market,
showing it's well-positioned
to grow even
under the stress of a major downturn.
While
Mondelez's
ability to
stay profitable during an economic crisis is a plus for investors
-- especially given the possibility the coronavirus will spike
again in autumn -- there
are plenty of longer-term reasons to consider adding to one's
position in the cookie, candy, and cracker producer,
too.
At first
glance, Mondelez's
total
revenue figures appear to be stalled. Total revenue for 2016 was
$25.9 billion, while in 2019 the metric came in at $25.8 billion.
The years in between varied by only a few million dollars. A closer
look, however, reveals the company's operating margin, aka return
on sales, has grown over the years, from approximately 8% in 2009
to roughly 10.5% in 2017 and over 14% in recent
quarters.
Mondelez
is
continuing to improve its return on sales through an ongoing
strategy of lowering input costs and streamlining its distribution.
The net income available to shareholders has grown from $1.6
billion in 2016 to $3.8 billion in 2019, raising diluted earnings
per share from $1.05 to $2.65 over the same period.
Mondelez
has also
provided reliable dividends for many years. According to charts
published as part of the company's presentation at the 2020
Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference, organic net revenue
and several other important metrics are flourishing:
Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND)
The IPO
success of Beyond
Meat (NASDAQ:BYND)
The plant-based food company went public on May 1, 2019, at $25 a
share, selling 11.1 million units of its stock for net proceeds of
$252 million, including the underwriters' over-allotment. Three
months later on Aug. 2, 2019, insiders
sold 3.3 million shares at
$160 per share. The company sold 250,000 shares to the public,
raising $36.8 million in net proceeds.
The company
wisely waived the 180-day lock-up period for its main investors so
that they could cash out a portion of their shares while they were
up almost six-fold.
Beyond
Meat's Q1
2020 net revenues increased 141% year-over-year
to $97.1 million, while its gross profit improved to $37.7 million
(38.8% gross margin), for a net profit of $1.8 million, a 127%
increase over the same period last year.
More
importantly, on March 11, 2020, Beyond
Meat rolled out its new Beyond Breakfast Sausage product.
With 33% fewer calories than a leading brand of pork sausage
patties, these are bound to be a hit with health-conscious
consumers.
According to Nielsen, 98% of consumers who buy plant-based
meat,
also buy animal meat. In fact, the Plant Based Foods Association
suggests plant-based
meat sales increase
by 23%, on average, when put in the meat department rather than the
vegetable section.
The "vegan wave" is now the
flexitarian
wave.
Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN)
Originally
invested in Beyond Meat in 2016, buying
5% of the plant-based meat company. It upped its stake at the end
of 2017 as part of a $55
million investment
round.
Unfortunately
for Tyson shareholders, the company didn't make it to the
ball, selling
its shares in
April 2019 for an undisclosed amount after Tyson CEO Noel White
decided the company would create its own plant-based protein line.
Tyson's brand is called Raised & Rooted.
It competes
with Beyond Meat. However, while its chicken nugget product is
meatless, its burger contains Angus beef as well as pea protein
isolate.
According
to TSN's
chief marketing officer, "While most Americans still choose meat as
their primary source of protein, interest in plant and blended
proteins is growing significantly."
By November
of last year, Raised & Rooted products had made it
into 7,000
stores across
the U.S., almost
double the number of stores carrying
the brand in August.
Despite the
increased rollout, Tyson didn't make reference to Raised &
Rooted in either its Q2
2020 10-Q or quarterly
conference call with
analysts.
However,
Tyson did mention Raised & Rooted in its 2019
Sustainability Report, which was released on May 27,
2020.
Kellogg (NYSE:K)
When most
people think of Kellogg, the first thing that comes to mind is
likely cereal: Special K, Frosted Flakes, Mini-Wheats,
etc. However, it has owned a vegetarian food brand called
MorningStar
Farms
since acquiring
the business in 1999.
The company
sells over 90
million pounds
of faux meat a year, with about one-third of that volume in fake
burgers and the remaining two-thirds from other products such as
chicken and sausage alternatives. Estimates suggest that
MorningStar
generates
$450 million in annual revenue,
about 1.3
times the $355 million Beyond Meat has sold over the trailing 12
months.
Beyond Meat
is valued at 22 times sales. If MorningStar
Farms were
given the same valuation, it would be worth $10 billion to Kellogg,
about 41% of the company's current market cap.
And it's
clear that Kellogg is aware of MorningStar
Farm's
potential. The big question is whether management is smart enough
to take advantage of the popularity of meatless
products.
On April 30,
2020, Kellogg announced on its quarterly
conference call that
it had delayed the launch of its "Incogmeato"
burgers from the end of the first quarter to sometime in the second
half of the year due to the novel
coronavirus. The
burgers will now be launched at the same time as its new
plant-based sausage products later in 2020.
