Mondelez International shares jumped roughly 7% in premarket trading on October 30 after the snack giant delivered a stronger-than-expected third quarter and announced a majority investment in Undercover Snacks, a better-for-you snacking brand. The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.78 on revenue of $9.97 billion for the quarter, beating analyst estimates, with easing cost pressures cited as a driver of the profit beat.

The Undercover Snacks deal bolsters Mondelez's presence in the healthier snacking segment. The partnership is intended to accelerate Undercover's growth, innovation, and market reach while preserving the entrepreneurial culture the brand has built. Financial terms of the majority stake acquisition were not disclosed in the announcements. Freedom Broker issued positive commentary on the stock following the day's developments.
