The plain read on the price, volume, and mix behind every result.

When a consumer goods company reports, Signals tells you what the numbers mean for price, volume, and mix in one line you can use. Every figure traces to the paragraph it came from, so you can stand behind it in the room. It is ready before your meeting, not after.

The read, not the raw. What a result means for price, volume, and mix, in one line you can act on rather than a page of figures to work through yourself.

Sourced to the paragraph. Every figure traces to the document it came from, so you can stand behind it when someone in the room asks where it came from.

Ready before your meeting. Walk in knowing what moved and what to do about it, while the result is still the thing everyone is talking about.

A sample read

Kraft Heinz Co.

Organic Net Sales down 3.4 percent

FY2025

Organic Net Sales decreased 3.4 percent, with volume and mix down 4.1 percentage points, partly offset by pricing up 0.7 percentage points. The company recorded a non-cash impairment of 9.3 billion dollars on goodwill and intangible assets.

The shopper voted with the trolley. Four points of volume and mix gone in a year is a lasting shift, not a soft quarter.

Price is doing all the lifting it politely can. Plus 0.7 points over a shrinking base has a floor, and the floor is close.

The write-down is the tell. 9.3 billion off goodwill says the portfolio is worth less than the board believed.
