Mondelez triggers a buy signal at $63. Could this be a chance?

Mondelez International Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZ) is a leader in the snacking business. It is among the few firms that remained resilient and bullish, as many stocks struggled under bearish pressures. With investors seeking buy chances in the market, we think Mondelez avails that opportunity at $63.

Mondelez is a wide moat consumer defensive stock. Demand remains even as consumption declines for many other industries. Zacks research rates Mondelez as a B-grade value stock with a C-score on growth. The only limitation for the company is low momentum on price. The low momentum is directly associated with the expectations for EPS growth at 7.42% in the coming year.

A price analysis indicates a PEG ratio of 2.79. While a PEG ratio above 1 is considered overvalued, we observe that many value stocks will have the ratio significantly higher, sometimes closer to 5. For that reason, we consider Mondelez to perform significantly better than many firms in its category.
