Kellogg: Announced its split into three companies, rally 8% of the share

Kellogg’s share in pre-conference trading is up 8.1% as the food company announced a split plan into three companies:

Global Snacking, with approximately $ 11.4 billion in sales that will include cereals and noodles internationally, frozen breakfasts and snacks in North America. Also, North America Cereal Co., which has sales of $ 2.4 billion and includes cereal activities in the US, Canada and the Caribbean. And Plant Co, with about $ 340 million in MorningStar Farms brand focus on plant-based foods.

The split will take place through tax-free spin-offs, with the names of the new activities to be defined.

Kellogg says the move comes after the transformation of the portfolio that puts each activity in a position to better focus on its strengths and priorities.
