[Para 1: The Lead] Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDLZ) reported a decline in Q4 profit, signaling challenges in its global snack and beverage business. The company's earnings per share (EPS) fell 12% to $1.05, missing analyst estimates by $0.03. The market reaction was immediate, with MDLZ's stock price dropping 5.6% in after-hours trading on February 3, 2026. [Para 2-3: Supporting details & Context] The decrease in profit was attributed to higher raw material costs and supply chain disruptions.
