Mondelez screens cheaper than Monster Beverage on all three valuation measures in the supplied data. But lower multiples alone don’t tell you which stock is the better fit.

Monster Beverage Corp and Mondelez International Inc both operate in the Consumer Staples sector, within the Food, Beverage & Tobacco industry group. Their latest adjusted closing prices on 2026-11-06 were US$45.72 for Monster and US$66.02 for Mondelez. Share prices alone don’t show whether a stock is cheap or expensive, so valuation multiples offer a more useful starting point.

Mondelez has the lower P/E, PEG and P/B ratios. That makes it the cheaper-looking stock on these measures, but it doesn’t prove that Mondelez is undervalued or Monster is overpriced. The companies’ businesses, growth expectations and risks also matter.

Investor takeaway: Mondelez’s P/E, PEG and P/B are 20.8, 0.97 and 3.15, respectively. Monster’s are 41.6, 29.31 and 9.09. The snapshot also lists a 3.02% dividend yield for Mondelez and 0.00% for Monster. These figures describe valuation and shareholder returns, but they don’t predict future performance. Both companies have a Buy analyst consensus label in the supplied table, with price targets of US$70.45 for Mondelez and US$50.04 for Monster. These are snapshot figures, not guarantees.

Mondelez has the lower multiple on all three supplied measures

Mondelez’s P/E is 20.8, compared with 41.6 for Monster. Its PEG is 0.97 versus 29.31, and its P/B is 3.15 versus 9.09. These ratios make Mondelez look cheaper, but they don’t establish what either stock is worth.

Bull case

Mondelez’s lower multiples and 3.02% dividend yield may appeal to investors comparing valuation and current income. The snapshot also reports a 15.5% trailing-twelve-month return on equity (ROE) for Mondelez.

Bear case

A lower multiple doesn’t prove that Mondelez is undervalued or has a stronger business outlook. Its trailing-twelve-month ROE is 15.5%, below Monster’s 24.7%. The snapshot doesn’t explain the difference or provide enough information to assess future growth.

How the valuation measures compare

All three supplied multiples show Mondelez trading at a lower level than Monster.

MeasureMonster BeverageMondelez International
P/E41.620.8
PEG29.310.97
P/B9.093.15

This compares the figures in the snapshot; it isn’t a verdict on fair value. Multiples can reflect different expectations and business characteristics, and the available data doesn’t explain why each company trades at its current level.

Income, returns and the limits of the snapshot

The snapshot lists a 3.02% dividend yield for Mondelez and 0.00% for Monster. It also reports trailing-twelve-month ROE of 15.5% for Mondelez and 24.7% for Monster. These figures provide context but measure different things: dividend yield reflects the listed income figure, while ROE measures returns on equity over the past twelve months.

Both companies have a Buy analyst consensus label in the supplied table. The listed price targets are US$70.45 for Mondelez and US$50.04 for Monster. Neither the labels nor the targets guarantee future results. You can use Mondelez’s lower multiples as a starting point for comparison, while keeping in mind the limits of the available data.
