This week I’m seeking a prestigious and long-term dividend-paying stock from the consumer defensive sector. 

That defensive sector includes thirteen industries all related to providing those convenient packaged goods we’ve just gotta have. Industries like: beverages, brewed, soft, or distilled; confections; discount stores; education & training; farm products; food distribution; grocery stores; household & personal products; packaged goods; pharmaceutical retailers; tobacco.

Today I’m reviewing a large-cap packaged foods firm named Kraft Heinz Company Its trading ticker symbol is KHC. 

The Kraft Heinz Co is a food and beverage company. It manufactures and markets food and beverage products, including condiments and sauces, cheese and dairy, meals, meat, refreshment beverages, and other grocery products in the United States, Canada, Europe, and internationally.

The company offers its products under the Kraft, Oscar Mayer, Heinz, Philadelphia, Lunchables, Velveeta, Planters, Maxwell House, Capri Sun, Ore-Ida, Kool-Aid, Jell-O, Cracker Barrel, P’Tit Cheese, Tassimo, Classico, Plasmon, Pudliszki, Honig, HP, Benedicta, ABC, Master, Quero, Golden Circle, Wattie’s, Glucon D, and Complan brand names.

It sells its products through its own sales organizations, as well as through independent brokers, agents, and distributors. 

The company was formerly known as H.J. Heinz Holding Corporation and changed its name to The Kraft Heinz Company in July 2015. 

The Kraft Heinz Company was founded in 1869 and is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I use three key data points to gauge the value of any dividend equity or fund like Kraft Heinz Company: 

(1) Price

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Besides those three, four more keys  will finally unlock an equity or fund in which to invest.

But those first three primary keys, best tell whether a company has made, is making, and will make money.
