WK Kellogg Q4: Progressing In The Right Direction, But Uncertainty Lingers
WK Kellogg Co.'s Q4 earnings were mixed, with sales down 1.7% y/y, but operational efficiency improvements led to higher margins. Management's focus on supply chain modernization and potential inorganic growth avenues like licensing and M&A shows promise but needs time to materialize. Uncertainty from tariffs and market conditions makes me hesitant to start a position now; I'll monitor the company's progress over the next few quarters.
