Are financial markets missing the value of healthy food is the question on the table? Super interesting report just released from Access to Nutrition Initiative and partners looking at nutrition with respect to financial outcomes in large global food & beverage companies. The conclusion states: Nutrition represents both an investment opportunity and an investment risk, and our analysis - which is based on a sample representing 10% of the market by revenues - suggests that the issue of nutrition would be given a higher priority if there was greater corporate disclosure regarding nutrition. In the 7% of cases where the issue of nutrition was mentioned by both analysts and the company it was because an analyst asked a question and the company responded. In all the other instances where nutrition was mentioned (33% of the calls) it was the company initiating the discussion with no analyst follow-up or questions. The analysis in this report highlights that there is a positive association between healthier food product portfolios and higher margins for companies with broader food portfolios. Companies with narrower food portfolios exhibit the opposite effect with the result that they are more at risk from regulatory changes that could threaten their business models. Even if you aren't a financial analyst reading about EBITDA all day, this is worth a read! #nutrition #health #diet #wellness #food #foodscapefinds Access to report here: https://lnkd.in/gGxJGQEx
