Kraft Heinz Company (KHC - Free Report) just released its fourth quarter financial results of 2016, posting earnings of $0.91 per share and revenues of $6.85 billion.
Currently, Kraft Heinz is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and is down 0.65% to $90.50 per share in trading shortly after its earnings report was released.
