Fixed income research shop CreditSights said in a report this week that Kraft Heinz (KHC) appears to still be itching to do a deal.
European consumer products conglomerate Unilever (UL), the owner of Lipton and Ben & Jerry's as well as the Dove brand of personal care goods, rejected a more than $140 billion bid from Kraft Heinz earlier this year.
Unilever said at the time that the deal "fundamentally undervalues" the company and that "it sees no merit, either financial or strategic, for Unilever's shareholders."
Kraft Heinz subsequently withdrew its offer instead of pursuing it further. And that's led to speculation ever since about what Kraft Heinz might target next.
The CreditSights analysts noted that Buffett has already ruled out the possibility that Kraft Heinz could buy Mondelez (MDLZ), the Oreo and Cadbury owner that split from Kraft Foods in 2012. (Kraft Foods subsequently merged with Heinz in 2015.)
