And as far as those undervalued Buffett picks go, the Oracle of Omaha has firmly indicated that he’s in Kraft Heinz for the long haul. While the stock has lost ground so far for the year, its relative strength index (RSI) suggests it has actually been oversold. And at the same time, revenue growth has been accelerating as the company has maintained very healthy profit margins. Most impressively, Kraft Heinz has - like clockwork - surpassed analyst earnings estimates for the past 17 quarters straight.
Perhaps it comes as no surprise, then, that InvestingPro’s fair value calculations put Kraft Heinz upside at some 30% higher than where the stock is currently trading. The company’s forward price-to-earnings ratio currently comes to 12x, far cheaper than the average for its sector.
The food-and-beverage purveyor even pays a generous 4.6% dividend, so if you have the patience that Buffett is famous for, you’ll get paid while you wait for the shares to catch up with the company’s rich intrinsic value.
