Kraft Heinz (KHC, $32.26) hits 52-week low as it fails to submit annual report on time
Shares of Kraft Heinz hit a 52-week low on Monday, after Standard & Poor's put the struggling food giant on CreditWatch negative -- Kraft missed its extended deadline to file its annual report with the SEC for 2018.
After the news hit the markets, the struggling company’s shares, which are valued at nearly $39 billion, fell more than 1% to sink to a 52-week low of $31.53.
