Mondelez Rises 1.28% Amid 317th-Ranked $340M Volume as Sector Adjustments Weigh

Mondelez International (MDLZ) closed higher by 1.28% on Sept. 26, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.34 billion, marking a 38.72% decline from the previous day's volume and ranking 317th in overall market activity. The stock's performance reflects mixed market sentiment amid broader sector adjustments.

Analysts noted that the company's recent earnings report highlighted stable demand in core snack categories, though margin pressures from supply chain costs remained a concern. Institutional buying activity in the week preceding the trade suggested moderate confidence in the company's near-term operational resilience despite macroeconomic headwinds.

Portfolio managers observed that the stock's underperformance relative to peers stemmed from lingering uncertainties around the pace of cost pass-through in key markets. However, technical indicators showed short-term oversold conditions, potentially attracting algorithmic buying to balance the order book.

To run this back-test accurately, I need to pin down a few practical details: 1. Universe: Do you want every U.S.–listed common stock (tens of thousands) considered each day, or a narrower universe such as the Russell 3000 / S&P 1500, etc.? 2. Trade price & timing: Typical convention is "buy at today’s close, sell at tomorrow’s close." Is that acceptable, or would you prefer open-to-close instead? 3. Weighting: Equal weight for each of the 500 names, or volume-weighted / market-cap-weighted? 4. Transaction costs & slippage: Should we include a round-trip cost (e.g., 2 bps per side) or assume frictionless trading? 5. Data source availability: Our current tool set can back-test one ticker at a time; to handle a 500-name daily-rebalanced portfolio we’ll stitch the results into a portfolio return stream. That’s feasible, but please confirm you’re okay with some additional processing time. Once these points are clarified I can generate the retrieval plan, pull the necessary data, and run the back-test.
