Does Recent Decline Make Kellogg Stock Attractive?

Kellogg stock (K) has fallen about 18% since mid-September as weak organic sales and sluggish margins didn’t sit well with investors. Most of the decline in Kellogg’s stock price followed the company’s soft third-quarter results. Adding to its woes, management lowered the full-year EPS growth guidance, citing an adverse mix, continued cost pressure, and increased interest expenses. On a YTD basis, Kellogg stock has fallen 9.5% and has underperformed the broader markets (SPY). The S&P 500 Index remained flat during the same period.
