Mondelez's Trading Volume Plummets 26.09% to $350M, Ranking 296th in Market Activity Amid Mixed Analyst Ratings and Bearish Sentiment

On August 14, 2025, Mondelez (MDLZ) reported a trading volume of $350 million, a 26.09% decline from the prior day, ranking 296th in market activity. The stock closed down 1.17%, reflecting weak technical indicators and a low internal diagnostic score of 1.92/10.

Analysts remain divided, with mixed ratings and bearish sentiment prevailing. Industry trends, such as growth in diabetic and low-carb food markets, could benefit Mondelez’s snack alternatives portfolio. However, regulatory shifts—like India’s new food labeling laws—pose risks to packaging and marketing strategies. Rising global competition, particularly from India’s $2.13 billion processed food exports in April, may pressure margins in Mondelez’s competitive snack landscape.

Financial metrics highlight a net profit margin of 20.74%, ROA of 0.91%, and an EV/EBIT ratio of 117.45. Analysts note mixed signals, with a simple average rating of 3.86 and a performance-weighted rating of 2.14. Bearish technical indicators, including an RSI oversold score of 1.58 and Williams %R oversold score of 2.26, suggest continued downward momentum.

Money-flow trends show divergence: while the fund-flow score remains positive at 7.37, large and extra-large investor activity is negative. Retail inflows at 50.9% indicate optimism, but block investor trends are bearish with a 36.8% inflow ratio. Technically, the stock has shown no bullish signals over five days, reinforcing caution for investors.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day from 2022 to 2025 yielded a 0.98% average 1-day return, with a total return of 31.52% over 365 days. This reflects short-term momentum capture but underscores market volatility and timing risks.
