KHC vs NRG Comparison

In July 2015, Kraft merged with Heinz to create one of North America's largest food and beverage manufacturers. Beyond its namesake brands, its portfolio has since included Oscar Mayer, Velveeta, and Philadelphia. While the retail channel drives around 85% of its total sales, the firm also maintains a growing foodservice presence. Outside North America, Kraft Heinz's global reach includes a distribution network in Europe and emerging markets that drives nearly 25% of its consolidated sales base, as its products are sold in more than 190 countries and territories.

NRG Energy is one of the largest retail energy providers in the US, with 6 million customers. Vivint Smart Home, which NRG acquired in 2023, has 2 million home services customers. NRG also is one of the largest US independent power producers, with 13 gigawatts of coal, gas, and oil power generation capacity primarily in Texas. The LS Power asset acquisition will add 13 GW of gas-fired power plants mostly in the eastern US. NRG exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a stand-alone entity in December 2003.
