Post Holdings is not just a cereal company. Since the 2012 Ralcorp spin-off, it has repeatedly reshaped itself through M&A, using cereal cash flow and capital-market creativity to build a broader food portfolio.
Post Holdings makes money through a portfolio of food businesses: Post Consumer Brands, Weetabix, Foodservice, and Refrigerated Retail. It sells branded and private-label cereal, granola, pet food, nut butters, egg products, refrigerated side dishes, sausage, cheese, and foodservice ingredients through retail, club, grocery, foodservice, ingredient, and e-commerce channels.
